Satinwood paint is a specialist paint formulated for use on interior woodwork and metal surfaces. Known for its smooth, mid-sheen satin finish that sits between gloss and matt, satinwood features a soft, reflective finish with a subtle sheen and elegance.
A popular choice among trade professionals and DIY decorators, the satinwood finish is commonly used for:
-
Doors and window frames
-
Skirting boards
-
Wooden furniture
-
Interior trim and mouldings
-
Radiators and pipework (where suitable - always check your tin for exact surface recommendations)
Satinwood paint provides superior coverage in a durable finish. Its grease, stain and dirt-resistant properties offer superior protection compared to standard retail options, making it well-suited to high-traffic areas.
Here’s why trade professionals choose satinwood formulations:
-
Fast-drying formulas for faster turnaround times.
-
High-opacity, fade-resistant and self-undercoating formulations, saving you time and money with fewer coats.

FAQs
Water-based satinwood finishes are low-odour and easy to clean. They have faster drying times, making it ideal for fast turnaround in occupied spaces.
Oil-based satinwood paints require longer drying times. However, its longer drying times and classic flow make it popular among trade professionals.
Yes, but we recommend lightly sanding the existing gloss surface for better adhesion before applying your satinwood finish. Using a compatible primer will help ensure a smooth finish.
Satinwood paint should be stored in a tightly sealed container in a cool, dry place, away from direct heat or frost. Thoroughly stir the paint to re-incorporate any settled pigmentation before reuse. Test the paint on a small area to check its consistency and suitability for use if it has been stored for an extended period of time.
