To protect the wood, many people opt for a finish, such as paint or varnish. However, these finishes can be toxic and can emit fumes that are harmful to humans and animals. Food safe wood finishes are a safe alternative to traditional finishes. These finishes are non-toxic and food-safe, making them a better choice for homes with children or pets.
They also provide a level of protection against water, dirt, and other environmental contaminants. Food safe wood finishes are available in a variety of finishes, such as water-based, oil-based, and wax-based.
Water-based finishes are the most common and provide good protection from water and dirt. Oil-based finishes are better at repelling water and provide a higher level of protection from dirt and other environmental contaminants. Wax-based finishes are the most natural and provide a beautiful, glossy finish. All three types of finishes provide protection from the elements, but only food safe finishes are non-toxic and food-safe.
This makes them a great choice for homes with children or pets, or for people who want to be sure their wood surfaces are safe for food preparation. In addition to providing protection, food safe wood finishes also improve the appearance of wood surfaces, making them look better and last longer.
The finishes also provide a layer of protection from scratching, staining, and fading. These benefits can be seen in the graph below, which compares the performance of food safe wood finishes to traditional finishes.
Food safe wood finishes often outperform traditional finishes in terms of protection from water, dirt, and other environmental contaminants, as well as providing a higher level of protection from scratching, staining, and fading. Overall, food safe wood finishes are a better choice than traditional finishes in terms of safety and performance.
They are non-toxic and food-safe, making them a great choice for homes with children or pets. They also provide a higher level of protection from water, dirt, and other environmental contaminants, as well as providing a layer of protection from scratching, staining, and fading.
For these reasons, Carver Maker uses only food safe wood finishes. We feel they are an excellent choice for people looking to protect their wood surfaces.
