Installers can rely on either product to ensure a high-quality finish. In general, choosing the right product will come down to time constraints, as well as the desired glossiness of the finish.

There are some other things to bear in mind when making the choice. For one, all solvent-based varnishes will naturally yellow over the course of their lifecycles, whilst water-based solutions remain clear. What’s more, solvent-based solutions have more volatile organic compounds, so water-based alternatives are kinder to the environment and the applier.

Ronseal Trade Polyurethane Varnish is ideal for interior timber as it forms a tough, durable seal and is resistant to boiling water, hot plates and household chemicals. This means that the finish you put on will last. To ensure safety when applying the solution, the room you are working in should be well ventilated and a mask should be worn at all times. Wood varnish helps to seal and protect a range of wooden surfaces, and you can buy it in a choice of colours. You can use interior varnish to coat and seal internal doors, as well as wooden furniture such as dining tables, wardrobes, and bedside tables. You may also wish to apply it to your skirting boards to give them improved protection and an attractive shine. There are clear versions, as well as products that come in natural wood shades like oak and pine. As well as offering excellent performance, Ronseal Trade Polyurethane Varnish is incredibly easy to apply. To get the best results, sand the wood with 120 grit paper before wiping away any dust with white spirit. Once the surface is dry, use a brush to apply three coats. For the best finish, we recommend lightly sanding the surface with 240 grit paper before applying the final coat.
