Duram Varnish Suede is a high-quality, solvent-based clear coating engineered to protect and enhance interior wooden surfaces. Formulated with specialized polyurethane resins, it provides a tough, scratch-resistant barrier while delivering a modern, “suede” matte finish that minimizes reflections and highlights the natural grain of the wood.
Key Performance Features
- Polyurethane-Hardened Durability: Creates a resilient, impact-resistant film that stands up to the daily wear and tear of household life.
- Sophisticated Suede Finish: Dries to a smooth, non-reflective matte sheen that hides minor surface imperfections and provides a contemporary, high-end appearance.
- Scuff & Scratch Resistance: Specifically designed for high-contact surfaces, ensuring your furniture and joinery stay looking newer for longer.
- Deep Grain Enhancement: The solvent-based formula wets the wood fibers deeply, bringing out the rich, natural warmth and detail of the timber.
Ideal Applications
- Interior Furniture: Perfect for dining tables, coffee tables, and desks that require a durable yet elegant finish.
- Joinery & Trim: Ideal for skirting boards, door frames, and wooden railings.
- Built-in Cupboards: Excellent for kitchen cabinets (non-food contact areas) and bedroom wardrobes.
- Substrates: Bonds powerfully to all interior softwoods and hardwoods, including Pine, Oak, Meranti, and Teak.
Product Benefits
- Excellent Flow & Leveling: The balanced viscosity ensures a smooth application with minimal brush marks, resulting in a professional-grade finish.
- Water & Chemical Resistant: Protects wood from common household spills, steam, and mild cleaning detergents.
- Heat Resistant (Moderate): Suitable for surfaces that may come into contact with warm items, like a heated mug (though coasters are always recommended).
Pro Tip: For a truly “factory-smooth” feel, lightly sand between coats using a very fine 320-grit sandpaper. This removes any tiny dust particles or raised wood grain, ensuring the final “suede” layer is perfectly uniform.
