GREENGUARD GOLD CERTIFIED | SUPERB DESIGN & CRAFTSMANSHIP

Finish Options

Each of our fine furniture collections is offered in three finish options which are either water-based or  vegetable oil based. All our finishes have organic ingredients, zero VOCs, zero hard-to-spell chemicals. You may be disappointed not find any Lead or phthalates, but we left those out as well!

Water-based finishes, are mostly water and the pigment (color agent) which is extracted from plants and other natural sources. The finish is applied in layers with a total of three coatings of stain or paint. After each coasting there is an abrasive correction step (fine sanding) where the finished surface is smoothed out and imperfections removed. A final clear coating is applied to seal up the surface, and prepare it for the long journey.

Oil-based finishes are made with organic vegetable oils, mostly rapeseed, and the pigment (color agent) which is also organic. The application process is similar to the water-based finishes but the surface is sealed with a beeswax solution instead of the water-based. Oil-based finishes maintain the natural beauty and texture of the wood, so when you’re wiping your brand new oil-finished furniture for the first time, you may notice some color residue on the cleaning cloth. No worries, the furniture is sealed and once it completes the acclimation process, there is no color dust coming off.

All Silva Furniture is tested and certified periodically by Consumer Product Safety Commission authorized laboratories. We use only healthy and safe ingredients for a natural and non-toxic nursery and all our cribs are made of solid hardwood.
