re-box protect

re-box protect covers the parts of a home that get touched every day: doors, frames, shelves, built-ins. This furniture and multi-purpose lacquer has a silky sheen and is made for furniture, wood and interior surfaces – here in the white base shade. Much of it isn't meant to stand out, just to look clean.

How the white behaves on woodwork

White on woodwork is a different matter from white on a wall. The silky-sheen finish gives the surface a smooth, gently reflective quality that passes light on rather than absorbing it – door panels look crisper as a result, and profiles and panelling define themselves through the sheen edge alone. On large, straight surfaces, the picture stays calm because the sheen builds up evenly. Next to a matte white wall, the lacquer reads a shade cooler and more precise, which visibly separates woodwork from wall surface. If you don't want that contrast, choose a matte white for the wall.

What the lacquer is made for

re-box protect stands up to mechanical stress, everyday soiling and outside influences. That makes it suited to the surfaces used every day.

• Interior room doors, frames and door panels
• Furniture made from wood and wood-based materials: chests of drawers, cabinets, shelves
• Staircase stringers, treads, railings and handrails
• Built-ins, wall panelling, wainscoting and window sills

The build-up: core first, protect after

A lacquer is only as good as what lies beneath it. That's why you start with re-box core Haftprimer: a bonding primer built for good adhesion on a wide range of surfaces. Only then does the lacquer go on. The surface must be clean, dry, load-bearing and free of loose material; sand old lacquered surfaces to a matte finish and remove all sanding dust. In most cases, the room is ready for normal use again after about 24 hours.

Staying with white or choosing a colour

White is a decision, not a fallback – but there are around 66 lacquer shades alongside it. Very close to white sits Blanc Épuré No. 55 Lack, a clear, light shade for doors and built-ins. If you want contrast, set Océan Nuit No. 65 Lack against it as a deep blue, or Ochre Flame No. 23 Lack as a warm ochre tone. The overview of light shades is at Lackfarben Weiß, the full range at Lackfarben. Not sure which to choose? The Farbmusterbox shows all 65 shades in your own light.

How much you need

One container holds 750 ml. Calculated at roughly 6 to 8 m² per litre and coat, that's about 4.5 to 6 m² for one coat and about 2 to 3 m² for two coats. That's enough for a chest of drawers or a shelf; for a room door on both sides plus frame, plan on two containers. On dark, strongly coloured or uneven surfaces, consumption can increase.
