When I first found Rubio, I thought it was too good to be true. A finish that's easy to apply & only requires one coat just couldn’t be a reality. But after using it, I knew I had found my forever finish. Not only did it give me the perfect low sheen finish I was looking for, but their wide variety of color options and the ability to mix & match colors to create a custom look makes Rubio Monocoat a game changer in the industry. I've been using it for over a decade now and will never go back. Spending less time applying finish means I have more time to spend with my family, build my business, and create more furniture.

I use Rubio Monocoat because it does a great job of enhancing the natural grain and beauty of the wood, while providing exceptional durability and an eco-friendly finish. It's the perfect match for my ethos of crafting furniture that's beautiful, sustainable, and designed for life.

Rubio Monocoat has truly been a game changer for me. The products are easy to apply, completely odourless, and, most importantly, free of harmful substances. That’s a huge plus not just for me, but also for the well-being of our clients.

We choose DuroGrit as finish for our projects because the 1-layer application saves us a lot of time. Especially if it's a large project where we can do spray application. Another big advantage with DuroGrit is the range of colours. From a natural look to brown shades. Since we have a personal contact at Rubio Monocoat, it's convenient to ask for help and if necessary, they even come by to assist.
