Best varnish for stairs

For stairs, it is important to choose a hard-wearing and safe varnish. Xyladecor Trap Vernis Antislip is the perfect choice here. This varnish contains a non-slip grain that provides extra grip, which is especially useful in households with children or the elderly. Moreover, this varnish is scratch- and abrasion-resistant, which is ideal for intensively used stairs. Thanks to its quick-drying formula, you won't have to wait long to put your stairs back in use.

Best exterior varnish

For woodwork exposed to the weather, such as garden furniture, gates or boats, a strong and durable varnish is essential. Sigma Varnish Yacht is a professional boat varnish that provides excellent protection against UV radiation, moisture and temperature fluctuations. This ensures that your woodwork stays beautiful longer and is less likely to age. But also at Xyladecor and V33 you will find excellent alternatives.

Frequently asked questions about varnish

Why do you use varnish?

Varnish provides a protective layer that helps protect your woodwork from wear, moisture and UV rays. In addition, varnish enhances the natural look of the wood and provides a low-maintenance finish. For indoor projects, varnish offers protection against scratches and stains, while outdoor varnish ensures that your wood stays beautiful for longer despite rain, sun and frost.

What is the difference between clearcoat and varnish?

Clearcoat and varnish are very similar and are sometimes used interchangeably. However, there are slight differences: varnish usually has a slightly harder finish and offers better protection against mechanical damage. Clearcoat can give a slightly shinier effect and is more often used for surfaces that are used less intensively. For floors, stairs and other high-traffic surfaces, varnish is usually the better choice.

How many coats of varnish should I apply?

In most cases, two to three coats of varnish are ideal. Start with a primer that absorbs well into the wood and then apply one or two finishing coats for optimal protection and gloss. Be sure to let each coat dry thoroughly and sand lightly in between for best results. For specific projects, consult these handy step-by-step plans:
