Tikkurila Intact 40 Satin Interior Wood & Metal Paint

A satin enamel finish for interior details

Tikkurila Intact 40 is a water-based satin enamel paint for suitable interior wood and metal surfaces. Particularly suited to trim, doors, window frames and furniture, it offers a gently reflective finish for the details that give a room its character.

Picture a freshly painted panel door framing a hallway, or a familiar cabinet refreshed in a muted colour. Intact 40 brings a satin appearance to these projects, with self-levelling properties described in the supplied information to help achieve an even result with appropriate tools and technique.

Why choose Intact 40?

• Satin finish: a softly reflective alternative to matt or high gloss.
• Interior wood and metal: use on suitable, correctly prepared surfaces with the recommended primer system.
• Doors, trim and furniture: listed uses also include interior window frames.
• Self-levelling properties: designed to support an even appearance; results still depend on preparation and application.
• Resistance for everyday use: the supplied information describes resistance to chemicals, grease and scratches. Check the current technical guidance for specific exposure and cleaning requirements.
• Size choices: select 1L, 3L or 9L from this listing.

Choose your pack and colour

This page offers 1L, 3L and 9L options. Confirm your chosen size and required colour before ordering. The previous search description incorrectly referred to 750ml, 2.5L and 5L packs; those are not the size choices listed here.

Use a physical colour sample in your own lighting wherever possible. The genuine Intact 40 photograph illustrates range packaging; check the selected option and manufacturer base-fill details rather than using the photograph to judge pack size.

Preparation and priming

Begin with a sound, clean and dry surface. Remove grease and contamination, repair defects and prepare existing coatings as directed. Remove sanding dust before painting. Identify the substrate and existing finish before selecting your primer.

Follow Tikkurila's current recommendations for bare wood, previously painted surfaces and the particular metal involved. Do not assume one primer is suitable for every metal or difficult coating. Check compatibility before painting laminate or unfamiliar furniture finishes.

Application and drying

The supplied information describes brush and spray application. Follow the current technical data sheet for suitable tools, thinning where permitted, coverage, coat numbers and application conditions.

Indicative timings in the supplied description are touch dry after approximately two hours and recoatable after four hours. Conditions can change these timings. Recoatable does not mean fully cured: allow the coating to develop its specified properties before normal use or cleaning.

Frequently asked questions

Is Intact 40 a matt paint?

No. This listing is for the satin finish. If you want a matt appearance, compare the current guidance for the separate matt product before choosing.

Can I use it on interior doors and skirting?

Yes, doors and trim are listed applications, with suitable preparation and the recommended coating system.

Can it be applied to metal?

It is listed for suitable interior metal surfaces. Confirm the metal type, preparation and required primer with the current manufacturer's instructions first.

Will it prevent every scratch or chemical mark?

No. Resistance does not mean immunity to damage. Avoid abrasive treatment and check suitability for specific chemicals or demanding service conditions before purchase.

Can I clean it four hours after painting?

Do not treat the listed recoat time as permission to clean the finish. Follow the current curing and care instructions and handle fresh paint gently.

Do the inspiration images show verified Intact 40 applications?

No. The AI-generated door and furniture scenes are illustrative decorating inspiration, not exact paint-colour previews or photographs of verified product applications.
