How Does It Work?
Removing paint from wood can be challenging—especially when trying to preserve the grain, avoid chemical exposure, and protect delicate or historic surfaces. Traditional methods like sanding and chemical strippers can damage the wood or leave toxic residues.
Laser paint removal offers a modern, non-contact solution. It uses focused laser beams to vaporize paint or coatings from wood surfaces without harming the wood underneath. With careful calibration, the laser can distinguish between the paint layer and the natural wood, ensuring minimal heat transfer and zero abrasion to the surface.
What Are the Benefits?
1. Gentle on Wood
Protects fine grains and surface texture—perfect for antique or high-value woodwork.
2. Chemical-Free
No use of harmful strippers or solvents, making it safer for operators and environmentally friendly.
3. Precision Control
Laser settings can be adjusted for different wood types, paint thicknesses, and desired depth of cleaning.
4. Preserves Historical Value
Ideal for conservation work on heritage structures, vintage furniture, and historic interiors.
5. Minimal Cleanup
No dust clouds or leftover sludge—removed particles are collected with integrated vacuum systems.
6. Reduced Fire Risk
Laser cleaning produces less frictional heat than sanding, and does not ignite flammable paint particles.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Q: Will laser paint removal damage the wood grain?
A: No. When properly calibrated, laser cleaning preserves the natural grain, detail, and finish of the wood.
Q: Is it safe for painted wood indoors?
A: Yes. It can be used indoors with proper ventilation and filtration to capture removed particles.
Q: Can it remove lead-based paint?
A: Yes. Laser removal is one of the safest ways to handle lead paint, as it eliminates dust and reduces the risk of airborne contamination.
Q: What types of wood can be treated?
A: Most hardwoods and softwoods, including oak, pine, mahogany, and teak, can be treated safely.
Q: Is this method suitable for detailed carvings or trim?
A: Absolutely. Laser cleaning excels at reaching intricate carvings and recessed areas that would be damaged by sanding or chemicals.
