Thorndown Wood Paint in Birch is an environmentally friendly, water-based paint designed for both interior and exterior timber surfaces. It offers a transparent, pale-yellow brown finish that highlights the natural beauty of wood grain, providing a satin look. This versatile paint is suitable for various applications, including doors, windows, decks, and furniture, and can also be used on metal and plastic. While it offers excellent durability and UV protection, users should be aware that achieving a highly water-repellent finish on diluted coats may require an additional clear topcoat.

Yes, provided the existing paint is sound and well-adhered. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion and ensure the surface is clean and dry.
To achieve a wood stain effect, dilute the paint with water, up to a maximum of 50%. Apply thinly and evenly. For enhanced water repellency on diluted finishes, consider a final coat of Thorndown UV Clear.
Clean all brushes, rollers, and other application tools with water immediately after use before the paint dries.
Yes, it is suitable for exterior timber applications, including decks. Ensure the deck is clean and dry before application. For high-traffic areas, consider its durability and reapplication needs over time.
It is not recommended to mix Thorndown wood paints with products from other brands, as this may affect the paint's performance, finish, and durability.
The paint dries to the touch in 1-2 hours. Full curing, meaning the paint reaches its maximum hardness and durability, can take several days to a week, depending on environmental conditions like temperature and humidity.
Mixing with UV Clear creates a more transparent finish while maintaining the paint's protective properties. Diluting with water up to 50% creates a wood stain effect, which may require an additional clear coat for enhanced water repellency.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary, dilute slightly with water (up to 10%) for easier application, but be mindful of the water repellency adjustment mentioned above.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared and clean. Apply the paint evenly with consistent brush strokes. Ensure adequate paint is loaded onto the brush/roller for each stroke. For subsequent coats, ensure the previous coat is dry.
Apply a thinner coat or dilute the paint with Thorndown UV Clear for a more transparent finish. Ensure the base wood is clean and dry, as dirt can obscure the grain.
Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants like grease or wax. Lightly abrading very glossy surfaces before application can improve adhesion.
If the paint was diluted significantly with water, a final coat of Thorndown UV Clear may be necessary to achieve a highly water-repellent finish.
Preparation:
Ensure the timber surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any loose material. Light sanding may improve adhesion on very smooth or previously coated surfaces, but is generally not required. Remove any existing flaking paint.
Application:
Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply liberally and evenly with a brush or roller. This paint can be applied directly from the tin. For a more transparent finish, mix with Thorndown UV Clear. For a wood stain effect, dilute with water, up to 50%.
Drying Time:
Allow 1-2 hours drying time between coats in fine weather. Ensure good ventilation.
Coverage:
Coverage varies depending on the application method and surface porosity, typically around 10-12 square meters per liter.
Compatibility:
Suitable for all types of timber (softwood and hardwood), internally and externally. Also compatible with terracotta, metal, and plastic (including PVC window frames).
Care:
Clean application tools with water immediately after use. For a highly water-repellent finish, especially on diluted coats, consider applying one or two coats of Thorndown UV Clear as a topcoat. The paint is water repellent and frost resistant once fully cured.
