Decorators’ Varnish

Our best-selling varnish that decorators love for its finish and ease of use

Polyvine’s Decorators’ Varnish is the go-to choice for professional and amateur decorators looking for a superior, long-lasting finish.

It’s perfect for use on emulsion paint, wallpaper and other surfaces, and gives long-term protection against finger marks, stains, scuffing and colour fading.

This unique, clear acrylic varnish uses nanotechnology to protect a wide range of decorative surfaces such as paintwork, wallpaper, fabric, wood and plasterwork. And given its UV blocking and absorption properties reduce ageing and deterioration, it’s no wonder it’s the varnish of choice for so many.

Available in either gloss for a shiny finish, satin for depth and a soft sheen, or dead flat for a completely shine-free surface.
