Description

Repainting a surface is always an enjoyable experience, no matter what material or paint youโ€™re working with. You might be giving your interior walls a touch up, painting old furniture to give it a new lease on life, or maybe braving the elements to repaint your patio.ย ย 

However, not all painting projects need to involve paint. You heard right, there is more than one way to transform your interior and exterior surfaces. One of the best is our revolutionary clear acrylic varnish.ย ย 

What is Clear Acrylic Varnish?ย 

As the name suggests, our clear acrylic varnish is a clear varnish designed to protect and revitalise previously painting and/or treated surfaces.ย ย 

It can be used on wood, metal, paintwork, wallpaper, fabric, plaster, and more! As one of our most versatile painting products, itโ€™s a must-buy for beginners and trade painters alike.ย ย ย ย 

This versatility makes it a great alternative to a fresh coat of paint, which you might want to avoid for a few reasons.ย 

Why use Varnish instead of Paint?ย 

Painting a surface, even a relatively small one like a door frame or skirting boards, is time-consuming. It can be expensive too, especially when a specialist trade paint is needed for the best results. This investment of time and money means you want your paint to last as long as possible and will try to avoid repainting until itโ€™s absolutely necessary or you feel itโ€™s time for a change.ย ย 

Acrylic varnish brings out your existing paintsโ€™ best side. For a fraction of the cost, itโ€™ll enhance the colour and sheen of new and faded paint. It takes less time to apply, and thereโ€™s less prep needed too, giving you more time without a paint roller in your hand.ย ย 

This is really useful if youโ€™re attached to your existing paint. Picking out the perfect paint isnโ€™t an easy task, and youโ€™ll be proud of the final result if you chose wisely. With acrylic varnish thereโ€™s no need for a fond farewell, and you can increase the longevity of any shade.ย ย 

As it is a clear varnish, it doesnโ€™t reduce the colour of the paint, instead enhancing it.ย ย 

Some people try to avoid repainting because of the odour or VOCs (volatile organic compounds) that they contain. This isnโ€™t always a factor, many of our professional paints have low VOCs and minimal odour, but for some thereโ€™s no way around it. Varnish has barely any odour and isnโ€™t harmful to any plant or animal life. It wonโ€™t set off any allergies either, keeping your loved ones safe and healthy. If youโ€™re painting indoors, this means you can focus less on ventilating the room and more on the job itself.ย ย ย 

These are some of the reasons to choose varnish instead of new paint, but the most popular is because of the added durability.ย 

Varnishing Surfaces to Increase Durabilityย 

By applying clear varnish to your surface, youโ€™ll protect your surface from impacts, scratches, and weather damage (including harmful UV that can make paint fade fast). It also contains compounds that make exterior surfaces like wood and stonework repel insects and fungus, issues that can cost you a fortune if ignored.ย ย 

If youโ€™re proud of your paint, itโ€™s worth investing in proper protection. Many types of paint promise durability, but if your surfaces are being scuffed and marked it ruins the entire look. With a layer of varnish applied itโ€™ll resist wear like never before to give you peace of mind no matter how many people and pets brush past.ย ย 

This is especially important for exterior surfaces. these suffer much more wear and tear thanks to our lovely UK weather. After a few years of wind, rain, sun, and snow, theyโ€™ll start to lose their lustre. Once varnished, your surfaces will be more resistant to water, dirt, and grime; theyโ€™ll even be easier to keep clean!ย ย 

How long does Varnishing take?ย 

Repainting exterior surfaces takes some clever timing. Most paints take a few hours to apply, but up to a few days to fully dry. Any strong winds or unexpected showers will ruin your progress, leaving you out of pocket with nothing to show for it.ย ย 

Varnish is much quicker to apply than standard paints. Its quick-drying formula means you can get the job done properly in very little time, no more eyeing up the horizon when dark clouds start forming.ย ย 

Unlike some paints, acrylic varnish can be used by anyone new to painting. The user-friendly design of this clear acrylic varnish ensures smooth application, allowing you to achieve a flawless finish effortlessly. It can be applied with a paint brush, paint roller, or sprayer so youโ€™ll always have the right tool for the job.ย
