Inside Our Performance Finish
At Gat Creek, every decision we make is about building the best furniture possible—for your home, your family, and your future. Our new Performance Finish is the next chapter in that story: a formaldehyde-free, 2K urethane topcoat that delivers exceptional durability with a clear, close-to-the-wood feel.
Commercial-Grade Durability—In Your Home
After years of research and testing, and in partnership with industry leaders, our Performance Finish meets the rigorous demands of hospitality, workplace, and high-traffic residential environments. It’s tough. It’s beautiful. And it’s already in use on our finish line..
Why It Matters
Stronger, Longer
Our 2K urethane creates a harder, more durable surface that prevents scratches better than lacquer-based coatings or conversion varnish. Also, our urethane Performance Finish stands up to daily wear and tear, protecting your furniture for years and years to come. Think coffee spills, homework messes, and real life. All covered.
Healthier Living
It’s formaldehyde-free and 99.9% of VOCs off-gas before it leaves our finish room. That’s a new level of peace of mind for your indoor air quality.
More Than a Pretty Surface
Unlike conversion varnish, our finish doesn’t yellow or mask the wood. The organic beauty of Appalachian hardwood shines through—naturally.
