Welcome to the Thorndown Paint Knowledge Hub.

    This is where we share practical, plain-English guidance on paint performance, sustainability, and correct application. From peelable glass coatings to durable exterior wood paint, our aim is to help you choose the right paint and use it properly so it lasts longer and performs as intended.

    As a specialist paint manufacturer, we design products to solve real-world problems: durability outdoors, breathability on timber, low VOC interiors, and fully removable coatings for glass.

    The guidance below explains not just what to use, but why it works and where its limitations are.
