CONTENTS Wood,a noble and living material,has stood the test of timewhileadapting to modern requirements.Appreciated for its warmappearance,thermal performance,and low carbon impact,it is Thismomentum is driven by ecological transition and the rise ofbio-based materials. Every year, nearly 20 million liters of paint areapplied to exterior joinery alone, a figure that illustrates how essential The wood joinery sector is composed mainly of small and medium-sizedbusinesses,which face numerous challenges:maintainingcompetitiveness,complying with new regulations,and dealing This dynamic, however, takes place in an uncertain economic landscape.Accordingto the CSIL World Furniture Outlook 2025/2026,internationalfurniture trade,in which joinery is a major segment,fell by nearly 9% in 2023, followed by a slight rebound in 2024.Forecastsfor 2025 remain cautious:global growth of only 2.8%, Inthisevolvingenvironment,deliveringahigh-qualityfinishisno longer just a technical requirement:it is a condition fordurability,a differentiating factor in competitive markets,and aresponsetoincreasinglystringentenvironmentalregulations. Thiswhite paper offers a complete overview:understanding thetechnical, economic, and environmental issues related to wood finishing, KEY FIGURESOF THE WOOD MARKET Wood holds a strategic position across many industries: Its renewed appeal is driven by rising environmental awareness and publicpolicies favoring bio-based materials. Key figures include: The global wood products market is valued at over$500 billion,with annual growth of 4-5%. In France alone,the wood joinery sector includes around 6 000 companies,85% of which are small or medium-sized enterprises. Approximately20 million liters of paint are used each yearfor exterior wood joinery. 80% of new timber constructionsuse water-based or low-VOC finishes (ADEME). The market is therefore dynamic yet highly competitive. Cost control, perceived quality,and compliance with new environmental standards are becoming decisive. WHY SURFACE COATINGS ARE CRITICALFOR WOODEN JOINERY Wood coating is far more than a decorative step. It plays several essential roles : Protection against moisture, UVexposure, insects, and mold Aesthetic enhancement :a key factor inperceived quality Extension of the product’s lifespan,especially outdoors Uniformity :masking natural wooddefects while showcasing its grain In joinery, the quality of the coating is often the first thing customers notice.A poor or deteriorated finish can undermine the perceived value of the entire product. Moreover, the challenges are extensive : Wide variety of wood species (pine, oak, larch, etc.)Complex shapes (shutters, moldings)Adhesion constraints depending on substrates and coatings PROTECT & ENHANCEhigh-performance and durable exterior joinery KEY NUMBERS TO REMEMBER :TANGIBLE GAINS WITHIN REACH Here are real-world improvements observed among our industrial clients: Bjorn PalmqvistWood Application Expert “A good application system becomes invisible: it nolonger draws attention.

These four strategic questions will guide your HOW OFTEN DO YOU CHANGE COLORS OR EFFECTS ? For workshops working in small batches or offering high customization: Fast rinsing capabilityFlexible dosing systems WHAT AESTHETIC EFFECTS ARE EXPECTED ? Deep matte? High gloss? Transparent finishes to enhance grain?Each effect requires specific choices: GunNozzlePressureApplication method WHAT IS THE TECHNOLOGICAL MATURITY OF YOUR LINE ? Possible setups include: Each configuration has strengths and constraints. WHAT ARE YOUR PRODUCTION VOLUMES AND CYCLE REQUIREMENTS ? High throughput requires consistency and repeatabilitySingle-unit production requires flexibility, quick adjustments, and agility These questions must also be paired with broader considerations about the workenvironment, customer expectations, and future evolution of the company.
