Carazzo lacquer floor paint
Durability and style without the scuff marks. A water-based matte lacquer paint ideal for floors, stairs, cupboards, and other high-traffic areas.
Description
Carazzo is an ultra-durable, water-based, matte lacquer paint for indoor use. Ideal for floors, staircases, cupboards, cabinets, doors, and other high-traffic surfaces. No topcoat required — the lacquer formulation provides durability and washability without a separate finish coat. It is suitable for a wide range of high-contact interior surfaces, including kitchen and bathroom cupboards, commercial floors, doors, and more. Available in 200+ naturally pigmented colours with low VOC content. It is an excellent wooden floorboard or concrete floor paint. Carazzo is also great for painting other high-traffic surfaces like kitchen and bathroom cupboards, commercial projects, doors, and more. No topcoat is required.
What the finish looks like
Carazzo produces a smooth, uniform matte lacquer surface, durable and refined in appearance. The finish is flat but with the hardness and depth of a lacquer product, giving surfaces a sophisticated, purposeful look rather than the powdery softness of a chalk or mineral paint. It suits interiors where a coloured floor or high-traffic surface needs to look intentional and hold up to daily life. On wood floors it appears as a coloured floor paint; on concrete it reads as a refined, coloured concrete surface.
Characteristics of Carazzo lacquer paint
- A matte lacquer finish that retains its color with no topcoat required and is highly adhesive to concrete, wood, stairs, doors, window frames, furniture, and more.
- Washability and high durability with resistance to scratches, wear, and skin oils.
- Over 200 naturally pigmented colors.
- A low VOC, environmentally friendly paint.
- Paint made from high-quality natural ingredients in our 100% solar-powered factory.
Sample options and pro-tips
Despite possible slight differences due to sheen reflection, Carazzo paint colors are similar to the colour card.
Samples recommended
Digital screens are not a reliable source for color selection. It’s best to order our hand-painted colour card.
250 ml colour sample pots are available for purchase. Select your color and sample size to test for a more accurate color representation on your surface and light conditions. (color samples are represented in the Classico matte finish)
Surface preparation
Proper adhesion requires preparation with our OmniPrim, a multi-primer. New or oil-based surfaces must be prepared with one coat of Omni Prim to ensure perfect adhesion and durability. Then, apply two coats of Carazzo.
For durable floor paint and longevity, it is important that Carazzo is applied in several thin layers.
Pro-Tip: Score tape before removal. We recommend application by brush or roller (a short-nap, lint-free roller for smooth surfaces). This paint does not work properly with North American air spray.
