ARESISTOVAR™ is the finish of choice with Amish furniture experts today. The Amish require high standards in their finishing process and ARESISTOVAR is an excellent two coat system that provides good build-up with extraordinary clarity. The gloss retention is only overshadowed by its durability. The Amish have insured heirlooms by protecting them with ARESISTOVAR in all their designs from Mission to Modern.

UV PROTECTION: ARESISTOVAR™ provides UV protection for your high quality Amish home furnishings. Premature aging causes cracks and discoloration, which reduces the value of your investment pieces. With ARESISTOVAR the furniture is protected from sunlight’s yellowing effect. The sun also has a natural ability to dry out wooden furniture by removing moisture. Amish furniture is well-built but the UV rays of the sun are strong enemies of even hardwood.

SCRATCH RESISTANCE: Amish craftsmen want you to enjoy your furniture for everyday use and know how important scratch resistance is. ARESISTOVAR provides a scratch resistant custom finish.

MOISTURE PROTECTION: Moisture resistance is another factor that needs consideration and improper moisture can cause furniture to warp. From top to bottom the Amish tables are given a coat of ARESISTOVAR™.

CHEMICAL RESISTANCE: Chemical resistance simply means that your furniture surfaces are protected substances common as foods you serve every day like vinegar, olive oil, mustard, lemon juice, mayonnaise, milk, ketchup, orange juice, coffee, tea and alcohol.

HOW TO CLEAN ARESISTOVAR: Cleaning ARESISTOVAR™ finishes is trouble-free. With only a clean cloth simply wipe with the grain. Intermittent cleaning with a mild, non-alkaline soap and water mix is recommended. You can then follow with a soft, dry cloth buffing. Using polishes with silicones can be harmful to your furniture. Never use commercial spray polishes on handmade Amish furniture.

CUSTOM DINING ROOM TABLE PADS: Although ARESISTOVAR™ will outlive any lacquer finish it is still recommended that you protect your high end dining room Amish tables with elite custom made pads, available from your Amish furniture provider.
