Wood and Metal Paint

Interior Trim Paint for Skirting, Doors & Woodwork 

Interior trim paint is designed to deliver a durable, high-quality finish on wood and metal surfaces such as skirting boards, doors, architraves, and radiators.

At Crown Decorating Centres, you’ll find a wide range of professional-grade trim paints, including satin, gloss, and eggshell finishes, all formulated for long-lasting performance in busy homes and commercial environments.

Whether you’re refreshing existing woodwork or completing a new decorating project, choosing the right trim paint ensures a smooth, hard-wearing finish that stands up to knocks, scuffs, and regular cleaning.

Choosing the Right Paint for Interior Trim

When selecting trim paint, consider both the surface and the level of durability required. High-traffic areas such as hallways, staircases, and doors benefit from tougher, washable finishes that resist marks and wear.

For previously painted wood or metal, ensure surfaces are properly cleaned, sanded, and primed before applying your topcoat.

Bare wood or new joinery should always be sealed with an appropriate primer or undercoat to improve adhesion and ensure an even finish.

If you’re working in areas prone to moisture—such as kitchens or bathrooms—opt for moisture-resistant or mould-inhibiting coatings to maintain a clean and long-lasting result.

Available Finishes: Gloss, Satin & Eggshell

Gloss: A highly durable, high-shine finish ideal for doors, skirting boards, and radiators. Offers maximum resistance to wear and is easy to clean.
Satin: A mid-sheen finish that provides a modern look with excellent durability—perfect for interior woodwork in high-traffic areas.
Eggshell: A low-sheen, contemporary finish that offers a softer appearance while still being washable and hard-wearing.

All finishes are designed for smooth application with brushes or rollers, providing excellent coverage, opacity, and a professional-quality result.
