Wood varnish

Wood varnish is a clear or coloured hard coating that protects and enhances the appearance of wood. If you have anything wooden, there's a good chance you'll need to get it varnished to futureproof its beauty. Wood varnishes bring out the best in any wooden surface, while providing a tough, durable finish that seals and protects the wood from scuffs, stains, dirt and liquids. It's ideal for protecting a whole host of wooden surfaces around your home. You'll be sprucing up your favourite furniture, fences, decking, and internal wooden surfaces in no time. Finish your projects with high-quality varnish from B&Q, from yacht varnish to floor wood varnish and lacquer, and enjoy a beautiful home and garden for longer. Alternatively, check out our wood polish, furniture paint, and sanders to prime your surfaces correctly.

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.

If you need varnish for wood that’s situated outdoors, there are waterproof varnishes that are ideal for external doors, sheds, fences, and wooden furniture. Wood varnish helps to make wooden objects look more attractive by enhancing the natural colour of the wood, but it also offers other benefits. It can prevent the tops of furniture like tables from getting scratched and protect them from water damage caused by spills. It also makes it easier to clean your wooden surfaces and keep them free of dust. Varnish for exterior wood prevents the wood from expanding, shrinking, and abrasing, allowing it to last for longer. You can purchase both varnishes and lacquers in a range of sizes depending on the size of the job you wish to complete.
