The transfer of know-how is an important service component in our brand strategy. This is why the Zweihorn® "Wood Surface Finishing Handbook" is available here in its 45th edition. It has been updated and completely revised. The result is a true textbook and reference guide for anyone who is interested in the surface finishing of wood and wood-based materials. We are happy to pass the knowledge gained from decades of experience and expertise in the field of professional surface finishing on to our target groups.
For professional woodworkers, trainers and teachers, it serves as a technical reference, and for interested novices it is intended as a textbook to prepare them for their future careers. In the same way, architects and interior designers can also find important tips on wood surface treatment in general and on the use of our products.
This is how (understandable) a handbook should be!
The book provides both theoretical knowledge, as well as proven work methods. The extensive compendium provides an excellent guide to the main topics regarding wood surface finishing. Starting with the chapter on substrates and preparation, to staining, to the various finishing techniques for and treatment of parquet flooring, to surface damage repair, the book contains all of the information worth knowing. The text is written in a style that is easy to understand and highlights important tips. Much is clearly explained through illustrations, for example surface imperfections and work results. Paint system recommendations and complex, technical topics are graphically illustrated. All applications are explained step by step with the help of drawings. This means that everything is easy to follow and remember.
