Best-Selling Tikkurila Paints for Interiors

Our collection includes top-rated options like:

• Tikkurila Anti-Reflex White Ceiling Paint (2.3L) – ideal for creating a smooth, non-reflective finish on ceilings, reducing uneven light patches and hiding minor imperfections.
  
• Optiva 7 Scrub-Resistant Emulsion – a soft-sheen wall paint offering excellent stain resistance and washability, perfect for kitchens, hallways, and busy living areas.
  

These Tikkurila paints feature high pigment content for rich, consistent colour and are suitable for a wide range of interior surfaces, including plaster, drywall, and old coatings.

What the Numbers in Tikkurila Paint Names Mean

Nearly every Tikkurila paint carries a number after its name, and that number is the sheen level. Low numbers are flat matt, high numbers move towards gloss.

A ceiling paint such as Anti-Reflex 2 sits at the flat end because a matt film reflects no light and stops the ceiling looking uneven. Higher sheens end up on skirting and door frames, where a harder film survives being touched and cleaned.

Wall paints carry a second figure, the EN 13300 wet scrub class:

• class 1 and 2 take repeated cleaning, for hallways and rentals
• class 3 to 5 suit rooms that get wiped rarely

Optiva 7 is the scrub-resistant option in the range. Both figures appear in the technical data sheet on each product page.

Tikkurila Colours and Colour Matching

Tikkurila works from its own Symphony colour system. Free colour cards cover:

• interior shades
• wood stains and lacquers
• masonry
• wooden facades

Order one before you commit. A colour reads differently across a large wall than on a printed swatch, and the sheen level shifts

Why Tikkurila Paint Is Built the Way It Is

Tikkurila started in 1862 as an oil mill in a village outside Helsinki, and the brand still carries that village's name. Production has stayed in Finland ever since, and PPG took over the company in 2021 without changing the formulations or the colour system.

Finnish surfaces face months of damp, repeated freezing and thawing, and little drying weather. Coatings built for that cope with the Irish problems that are almost always about moisture rather than heat:

• north-facing walls that never dry out
• bathrooms without extraction
• timber that swells through the winter

The Finngard Exterior Uni Primer comes out of the same thinking: it evens out how much a porous facade absorbs, so the topcoat over it goes on consistently.
