When it comes to finishing furniture, two of the most popular options are beeswax polish and clear lacquer. Each offers a unique look and level of protection depending on the finish you want to achieve. At Hemway, we offer premium-quality solutions for both, giving you the tools to revitalise, preserve, and protect your furniture with ease.
Our Premium Natural Beeswax Polish is a high-quality, versatile wax made from natural beeswax. It’s ideal for nourishing wooden surfaces, restoring their original lustre, and providing a smooth, rich finish.
This soft, easy-to-apply wax creates a subtle, satin-like glow that enhances the natural grain of the wood. It’s especially suited to vintage or antique furniture.
Our beeswax is safe for use on most wooden surfaces including oak, pine, walnut, and more. It works well on both bare and previously treated wood.
For general maintenance, reapply every 6–12 months. Heavily used surfaces like dining tables may benefit from more frequent applications.
Yes, it enhances colour depth while adding protection.
Use a lint-free cloth to apply in small circular motions. Leave for 15 minutes and then buff for shine.
For those seeking stronger surface protection, Hemway Clear Lacquer is the perfect modern alternative. Available in Matt, Satin, and Gloss finishes, this fast-drying, water-based lacquer forms a durable, transparent layer that resists moisture, scratches, and stains.
It’s ideal for high-traffic surfaces and projects where a more polished, hard-wearing finish is needed. Whether you prefer a subtle matt look or a high-shine gloss, we’ve got a finish to match your vision.
Matt offers a flat, non-reflective finish; satin has a subtle sheen; and gloss delivers a high-shine, polished look.
It’s not recommended to apply lacquer over wax or oil finishes. The surface should be stripped and sanded first for proper adhesion.
It has a quick drying time of 2 hours.
Apply with a high-quality brush or roller for smooth, even coverage.
