Wood Polishing & Polyurethane (PU) Finishing in Mumbai
Multi-stage timber grain sanding, custom stain matching, and spray/hand-rubbed polyurethane (PU) and melamine clear coats for doors, veneers, wardrobes, and furniture in Mumbai.
Precision Timber Finishing That Enhances Natural Wood Character
Natural wood doors, veneer wall paneling, and bespoke cabinetry are among the most valuable interior architectural investments in a Mumbai home. Over time, exposure to sunlight, humidity, and daily handling causes wood finishes to dull, discolor, develop hairline surface checks, or yellow with age.
Uni Finish provides specialized Wood Polishing and Polyurethane (PU) finishing services. Combining careful multi-grit mechanical sanding, non-grain-raising stain matching, and spray or hand-rubbed clear topcoats in matte, satin, or high-gloss sheens, we protect and highlight the natural timber grain while creating a hard, moisture-resistant barrier that resists everyday heat and spills.
Suitable Project Scopes
- Solid teak wood entrance main doors and interior door frames
- Natural timber veneer wall paneling, pelmets, and architectural partitions
- Built-in wardrobe shutters, vanity units, and modular cabinetry
- Dining tables, credenzas, and handcrafted solid wood furniture restoration

Fluted plastic sheets securely taped across all adjacent floor surfaces and wall baseboards.
Shields marble and tile floors from wood stain drips, sealer droplets, and sanding residue.
Hardware & Glass Masking
Glass inserts, metal trims, and locks taped with precision low-tack protective tape.
Prevents wood stains and clear lacquers from misting onto polished glass and chrome hardware.
Enclosed Spray Shielding
Temporary plastic enclosures erected around doors when on-site spray application is utilized.
Prevents aerosolized clear lacquer mist from settling onto adjacent residential surfaces.
Continuous Dust Extraction
Sanding tools paired with vacuum extraction to capture fine timber dust during prep.
Reduces wood dust settling into air conditioning ducts and finished rooms.
Key Cost & Planning Drivers
Factors influencing labor time and material investment for wood finishing.
Wood Coating System: Melamine vs 2K PU
Melamine is an economical, dependable clear finish for standard interior millwork. Italian 2K Polyurethane (PU) represents the gold standard for non-yellowing clarity and scratch resistance.
Existing Wood Condition: Re-Coating vs Stripping
Timber with intact polish only requires light sanding and topcoating. Severely weathered, blackened, or flaking wood must be stripped to bare timber.
Application Method: Hand-Rubbed vs Spray Finish
Hand-rubbed application is ideal for occupied homes with limited ventilation. Spray finishing produces the smoothest finish but requires specialized masking enclosures.
Detailing Complexity of Doors & Moldings
Flat veneer flush doors sand quickly and evenly. Intricately carved teak main doors with deep recesses require meticulous hand sanding with fine abrasive pads.
