Product Information

Full details

The Tikkurila Valtti Opaque Exterior Wood Paint is a high-performance, water-based, semi-matt paint for those seeking long-lasting protection and durability for exterior wood surfaces. Its key benefit is superior weather resistance, offering up to 15 years of protection when used as part of a complete system with Tikkurila Ultra Primer. A potential caveat is that optimal results and the full 15-year protection are achieved when used with a specific primer, not as a standalone product on bare wood.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or peeling.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, free from contaminants, and that a suitable primer (like Tikkurila Ultra Primer) was used on bare or weathered wood. Check if the wood was sufficiently dry before application.

Uneven colour or coverage.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply paint evenly, avoiding over-brushing. Ensure sufficient coats have been applied, allowing adequate drying time between each.

Application feels difficult, too thick.

Check ambient temperature; if too cold, the paint may thicken. Ensure you are using the correct application tool. If necessary, a small amount of water can be added for spray application, but avoid over-thinning.

Surface remains tacky after drying.

This can happen in high humidity or cool conditions. Ensure adequate ventilation and wait for conditions to improve. Avoid applying a second coat until the first is dry to the touch.

Cons

Achieving maximum 15-year protection requires using Tikkurila Ultra Primer.

Application temperature and humidity conditions need to be considered for best results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure the wood surface is clean, dry, and free from dirt, dust, grease, and loose material. Treat any mould or algae growth with an appropriate cleaner. For new, unpainted wood or previously treated wood where the old coating is removed, priming with Tikkurila Ultra Primer is recommended for optimal adhesion and durability, especially if aiming for the 15-year protection claim.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply one or two coats using a brush, roller, or spray. For optimal results, apply in dry conditions, with temperatures between +5°C and +30°C. Avoid painting in direct sunlight or on hot surfaces. Allow sufficient drying time between coats according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: Valtti Opaque is designed for exterior wood surfaces such as cladding, doors, windows, fences, and sheds. It is suitable for both new and previously painted/stained wood. For best results with maximum durability, use in conjunction with Tikkurila Ultra Primer.

Care: Clean tools and application equipment immediately after use with water. Any spills or fresh paint marks should be wiped away promptly. For maintenance, surfaces can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a mild detergent solution. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
