Timbers are a great option for decor, whether you are looking at furniture, fittings like doors or kitchen cupboards, or even artwork. The wide choice of options with timber means you can get really creative. For example you can choose lighter or darker shades to suit your needs. Plus you can get the unique look of different types of graining. The only downside is actual solid timber can get costly. Luckily, you can get a similar look for less with foiling services.
Why choose foil?
As we said just above, some timber can be expensive. You could save a great deal by choosing cheaper materials and then adding a foil layer to finish them. This is exactly what you see with a lot of flat pack furniture and doors. They have a cheaper substrate but a film finish to look like real wood. Some can be incredibly realistic so you can’t tell the difference.
There are also some cases when real timber would not be suitable. For example it might be a room like a kitchen or bathroom where the moisture is excessive. Foil is better here because it is waterproof. Moisture will therefore not be able to soak in, meaning there should not be any problems like warping.
Sometimes the weight of real timber can be a deal breaker. Once again using a foil can be the best option. It means the core of the product can be a lighter material. Then it can have a top layer that looks like solid wood.
Again some people steer away from timber because of the wearing. While they like the initial look, they may not be so happy with it if there are scratches and other damage. Luckily, foil is very durable and scratch resistant. It will last longer before showing signs of wear. Plus, it is cheaper to replace a foil layer than it is to restore or retreat a solid timber product.
