What We Do
At DFW ProPryme, we employ state-of-the-art vacuum coating technology to apply primer to your millwork. Our vacuum coating system offers numerous advantages over traditional priming methods, providing our customers with a superior solution for their wood millwork needs.
What Is Vacuum Coating?
In our case, vacuum coating is the process of passing a substrate (millwork boards) through a vacuum chamber where primer is continuously introduced and pumped out. This deposits a thin layer a few thousandths of an inch thick onto all sides of the boards. Boards are sanded before and after coating using an automated conveyor and sanding wheel system. The end result is an evenly coated, smooth-finished product that is ready to receive paint.
Benefits of Priming Wood
Priming is a crucial step in preparing wood surfaces for painting or finishing. Whether for construction projects, furniture manufacturing, or DIY home improvement, priming wood offers a range of benefits that enhance the overall quality and longevity of the finished product.
Here are some key benefits of priming wood:
Improved Paint Adhesion: Priming wood creates a surface that improves paint adhesion, ensuring a more durable and long-lasting finish.
Stain and Bleed-Through Prevention: Priming wood seals the surface, preventing stains and bleed-through from knots, natural blemishes, and wood coloration.
Surface Smoothness: Wood priming helps fill in wood grain and imperfections, creating a smoother surface for the final paint or finish coat.
Enhanced Durability: Primed wood is more resistant to moisture, weathering, and other environmental factors, enhancing its durability and longevity.
Cost Savings: By preventing paint absorption into the wood and reducing the number of coats required, priming wood can save on material and labor costs.
Improved Paint Appearance: Priming wood enhances the appearance and vibrancy of paint colors, ensuring a more professional and attractive finish.
Prevention of Peeling and Cracking: Properly primed wood helps prevent paint peeling and cracking, prolonging the life of the finish.
Odor and Stain Blocking: Priming wood can block out odors and stains, ensuring a clean and pristine finish.
Color Consistency: Priming wood brings the color of the wood to a neutral base, allowing the paint to go on in its true color for consistent and accurate results.
Ease of Application: Primers are formulated for easy application, providing a smooth and even base coat for subsequent paint or finish coats.
Environmental Benefits: The primer we use here at DFW ProPryme is water-based and low in volatile organic compounds (VOCs), making it environmentally friendly.
