Nestled in the serene landscapes of Germansville, PA, Grothouse has once again raised the bar in luxury wood and metal-coated surfaces. The latest innovation from this prestigious manufacturer is the Durata® Zero sheen finish—a breakthrough that combines the aesthetic beauty of untreated wood with the unmatched durability and maintenance ease Grothouse’s exclusive Durata® line is famous for.
A Revolution in Wood Finishes
For years, the design community has craved a finish that maintains the natural, flat look of wood without compromising on protection. This is where Durata® Zero steps in. Crafted after six years of meticulous development and rigorous testing, this finish is the epitome of beauty meeting functionality.
Imagine the elegance of zero-sheen, flat, unfinished wood that doesn’t show scratches easily, ideal for bustling kitchens and elegant bathrooms alike. Durata® Zero is compatible with all wood species, enabling Grothouse to create perfect matches to high-end cabinetry finishes, making it a versatile choice for any design project.
The Science Behind the Sheen
Durata® Zero’s magic lies in its ability to provide a clear coat with absolutely no sheen, preserving the raw, untouched allure of wood. Not only does it look gorgeous, this finish is waterproof, food-safe, and requires no maintenance, truly a modern marvel for countertops, bar tops, tables, and desks.
Paul Grothouse, President of Grothouse, elaborates: “The design community has long desired low or zero-sheen finishes, but achieving this look while protecting the underlying material has been difficult. Previously, the buildup of finish needed for durability often compromised the appearance designers wanted. The development of Durata® Zero is a technical breakthrough that protects the wood while maintaining a natural, sheen-free appearance. We wanted a finish that preserves the natural, untouched look of wood while delivering the practical benefits of waterproof and chemical resistance. Our clients expect the best in wood surfacing and engineering from Grothouse, and after years of development and testing, we’re excited to bring this product to the market.”
