Identify the surface

Wood Finishes Direct UK offers oils, stains, paints and varnishes. Determine the wood species, indoor or outdoor location, previous coating and desired appearance before selecting a system.

Read the technical details

Check compatibility, coverage, coat count, drying and curing times, preparation, application method and maintenance. Test on an inconspicuous area because colour and absorption vary.

Work safely

Follow the current hazard label and safety data. Use specified ventilation and protective equipment, keep products from ignition sources and dispose of liquids, containers and oily cloths as instructed.

Final check

Confirm colour, sheen, container size and enough product for the measured area. Review temperature limits, delivery restrictions and returns.
