Indoor lacquer FAQ

What are interior lacquers?

Interior lacquers is a type of paint specially designed for use inside your home. It provides a protective finish on various substrates such as wood, metal, tiles and more. Interior lacquers generally have a faster drying time and less odour than exterior lacquers, making them ideal for indoor applications. It not only provides protection against wear and moisture, but also gives an aesthetically pleasing finish to furniture, window frames, doors and other wooden surfaces.

Can you lacquer indoors?

Yes, you can practically lacquer anything indoors. If you don't know exactly how to start, you can find several handy how-to guides with us that will help you through the process. So you can easily learn how best to treat different surfaces, from windows and doors, to furniture, tiles and stairs.

What types of indoor lacquer are there?

There are many different types of indoor lacquer, depending on the surface you want to varnish.

• For wooden substrates, use an appropriate interior paint for wood, such as Sigma Tigron Aqua or Sikkens Rubbol BL. These not only cover well, but also offer extra protection against wear and tear.
• For furniture, for example, you can choose Trimetal Permacryl XR or Sigma Tigron Aqua, which offer a scratch-resistant finish. Or browse through our furniture paint range.
• And if you want to lacquer tiles, there are special indoor lacquers that provide a strong, long-lasting finish. Check them all out at our tile paint category.

What is the difference between paint and lacquer?

Although the terms are often used interchangeably, there is a clear difference between paint and lacquer. Paint is a broader term, and refers to anything meant to give colour to a surface. Lacquer primarily has a protective function. It forms a hard, durable top layer that protects the surface from scratches, stains and wear and tear. You won't be so quick to put it on a wall, but rather on an object. And with ordinary paint, the reverse is true. So to sum up, lacquer also falls under paint, but is just a bit more specific.

Water-based or turpentine-based interior lacquer?

The choice between water-based and turpentine-based paint depends on your personal preferences and the project.

• Water-based lacquers have the advantage that they dry quickly, have little odour and are easy to wash out. They are ideal for indoors, especially if you want to get on with your project quickly.
• Solvent- or turpentine-based paints have a stronger finish and are often more resistant to abrasion, but they dry slower and have more odour.

Both types offer excellent quality, so it really depends on what you are looking for. Want to delve further into the similarities and differences? Then read our blog on water-based vs synthetic.

Which paint is best for indoors?

The best type of interior paint depends on your project and what you want to achieve. If you want a sleek, scratch-resistant finish for furniture, Sigma Tigron Aqua or Trimetal Permacryl XR is an excellent choice. Want a durable, hard-wearing finish for doors or window frames? Then the Sikkens Rubbol BL line is a good option. Want to go full-on for a unique colour experience? Then you will undoubtedly find what you are looking for in the Levis Ambiance lacquers. In other words, the best indoor paint is the one that best suits the application you have in mind.

What colour interior lacquer?

The choice of colour for your indoor lacquer depends entirely on the mood you want to create. RAL 9010 is a popular choice for a classic, crisp white finish, but you can also opt for matt black for an industrial look. From subtle pastel shades to bold, dark colours - there is something for everyone. At Tintrio, we can help you find the perfect colour to match your interior.
