Exterior/interior joinery
i.e doors, windows, trim and interior cupboards

Doors, windows and joinery inside and outside your home, as well as cupboards and shelving inside, need a special kind of paint to withstand everyday wear and tear. The paint needs to be tough so it won't chip or mark with constant handling and hard so that joining surfaces do not stick together. Here's how to choose the right paint for these busy and exposed areas and information on the all-important preparation of these surfaces.

This section deals with both exterior and interior joinery; and hard wearing surfaces for typical substrates - timber, ferrous metals (i.e. steel) and non ferrous metals (i.e. aluminium).

Select the joinery substrate you wish to paint:

• Timber
• Metal
• Aluminium
