Live edge tables are a popular choice for those who want to add a touch of natural beauty to their home decor. But with so many different finishes available, it can be challenging to know which one is right for your live edge table. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of using Rubio Monocoat on live edge tables.
Natural Look and Feel
One of the most significant benefits of using Rubio Monocoat on live edge tables is that it provides a natural look and feel. Unlike other finishes that can create a plastic-like appearance or a heavy coating, Rubio Monocoat preserves the natural beauty of the wood while protecting it from wear and tear. The finish penetrates the wood fibers, creating a deep, rich color that enhances the natural grain patterns and texture of the wood.
Easy Maintenance
Rubio Monocoat is also incredibly easy to maintain. Unlike other finishes that require regular upkeep, such as oiling or waxing, Rubio Monocoat only requires occasional cleaning with a damp cloth. The finish is highly resistant to water and stains, which means you don’t have to worry about spills or moisture damaging your table.
Sustainability
Another benefit of using Rubio Monocoat on live edge tables is that it is an environmentally sustainable choice. The finish is made from natural ingredients, including linseed oil and beeswax, and is free of harmful chemicals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This means you can enjoy the beauty of your live edge table without harming the environment.
Spot Fixing
Rubio Monocoat is also much easier to spot fix than other finishes, such as polyurethane. If your live edge table gets scratched or damaged, you can simply touch up the affected area with more Rubio Monocoat, blending it seamlessly into the surrounding finish. This is much easier and more cost-effective than having to sand down and refinish the entire table.
Customizable
Rubio Monocoat also offers a range of customizable options, so you can create a finish that is unique to your live edge table. With over 50 colors available, you can choose a finish that complements your home decor and personal style. The finish can also be applied in different ways, such as a solid color or a subtle accent, allowing you to create a customized look for your table.
