FAQs
What is the best paint for interior doors?
The best paint for interior doors is one that offers durability and a smooth finish. Semi-gloss or satin paints are popular choices as they are easy to clean and resist scuffs, making them ideal for painting internal doors and door frames.
Can I use the same door paint for my front door and internal doors?
Yes, but it's important to choose a paint suitable for the door material. For front doors, especially composite front doors or UPVC doors, select a paint formulated for exterior use to withstand weather conditions.
Do you offer paint for composite doors?
Absolutely! We provide specialised composite door paint designed to adhere properly and provide a lasting finish on composite materials.
How do I prepare my door before painting?
Begin by removing any door hardware and cleaning the surface. Lightly sand the door to ensure the paint adheres well. Use a drop cloth to protect your floors and apply painter's tape to areas you don't want to paint.
Can I repaint my kitchen cupboard doors with your paints?
Yes, our range includes cupboard door paint ideal for refreshing kitchen cabinets and wardrobes. They offer excellent adhesion and a durable finish for high-traffic areas.
What colours are available for door paint?
We offer a wide selection of door paint colours, from classic whites and neutrals to bold and vibrant hues. Whether you're looking for a subtle shade or a statement colour, you'll find the perfect option to match your style.
Is it necessary to remove the door when painting?
While not mandatory, removing the door can make the process easier. If you choose to leave it hanging, ensure you protect surrounding areas with painter's tape and use a drop cloth to protect your floors.
Can I use oil-based paint on my doors?
Yes, oil-based paints provide a hard-wearing finish and are suitable for doors. They are especially good for high-touch areas like door frames and trim and doors, but they do take longer to dry and have a stronger odour than water-based paints.
Do you have paints suitable for UPVC doors and plastic front doors?
Yes, we offer paints specifically formulated for UPVC doors and plastic front doors. These paints ensure proper adhesion and a lasting finish on plastic surfaces.
How can I achieve a professional finish when painting internal doors?
Preparation is key. Clean and sand the door, use quality brushes or rollers, and apply thin, even coats of paint. Consider using a semi-gloss finish for a sleek, professional look.
