Frequently asked questions about the Decorative and special colours category
What are Decorative and special colours and what are they used for?
Decorative and special colours are coatings for creating textured, metallic, pearlescent and other decorative effects; they include products like TEKSTUURLISAND SPECIAL STRUCTURE, EFFEKTVÄRV, TAIKA and additives such as GLITTER and PERLIUM. They’re used on walls, furniture and accents to produce marble, metal, glitter and structural finishes.
What is the difference between TEKSTUURLISAND SPECIAL STRUCTURE 1L and 4L?
The difference is pack size: 1L is suitable for trials and small areas, while 4L is more economical for larger surfaces. The product’s composition and texture grade are the same, so choose based on area to be covered.
Which effect paints create a metallic or anthracite finish?
Look for EFFEKTVÄRV ALPINA METALL EFFEKT ANTRATSIIT 1L or similar effect paints listed among top products. These deliver metallic sheen and a consistent anthracite tone when applied in 1–2 coats to a cleaned and primed substrate.
Can GLITTER and PERLIUM additives be mixed with acrylic paints?
GLITTER and PERLIUM decorative additives are generally compatible with acrylic systems: add them to the topcoat or a clear finish per manufacturer guidance. Mix a small test batch first to check distribution and effect.
Which products are best for a marble effect?
Use products like EFFEKTVÄRV ALPINA MARMOR 2.5L and effect waxes such as EFFEKTVAHA RILAK VENETOCERA 1L. Technique involves a base coat, layered marble tones and a final wax or lacquer finish.
Which pack size of EPOXID PAINT SIKAFLOOR is better for floors: 5KG or 6KG kit?
Sikafloor epoxy is supplied as A+B kits in 5KG (2510W) and 6KG (2540W) options. Choose based on floor area and desired thickness—calculate needed volume using the product’s m² consumption guidance.
How to use TAIKA GLOW or TAIKA STARDUST for a glowing effect?
Apply TAIKA GLOW or TAIKA STARDUST over a base colour in 1–2 coats or mix into a clear lacquer; test on a sample area first for even coverage. Apply a protective topcoat afterwards to preserve the glow and resist wear.
What PERLIUM effect powders and colours are available and what are they used for?
The range includes PERLIUM effect powders such as PERLIUM H.SININE 100g (silver/pearlescent variants). These powders create pearlescent and sparkling effects in decorative layers and lacquers and are applied with a brush or rubbed into a tacky finish.
Which decorative paint should I choose for exterior stone surfaces like PATIO KIVIKUULLOTE EK?
Choose a product like PATIO KIVIKUULLOTE EK (available in 0.9L and 9L) designed for stone and paving, providing a water-repellent protective film. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before application and follow the specified consumption and coat recommendations.
How to achieve a crackle (craquelure) effect — is EFFEKTLAKK RILAK KRAKELUR 0.9L suitable?
Use EFFEKTLAKK RILAK KRAKELUR 0.9L with a compatible base and top colour, applying as instructed and controlling drying times between coats. Test on a sample area first to adjust crack size and contrast.
