About Italian Surface Finishes
Italian finishes.
A London
material house.
Based in London, ISF is an official UK distributor of VALPAINT.
We bring Italian decorative finishes, practical material knowledge and personal support together — so you can choose a surface and understand how to make it happen.
Meet the people behind ISF
The people behind the finish
A beautiful wall.
A considered way to get there.
ISF grew around the questions that sit between choosing a finish and living with it.
Sidorela and her partner brought materials into conversations at exhibitions, in the Studio and beside full-scale walls. The finish caught people’s attention. What followed were questions about colour, preparation, quantities and application.
Those conversations shape ISF today. We help you understand the surface you are choosing and the materials, preparation and work that belong around it.
Our relationship with VALPAINT
Italian making.
London support.
VALPAINT makes the decorative finishes in Italy. ISF brings them to projects across the UK, with the knowledge and practical support to help you use them.
The original material.
Genuine VALPAINT finishes, identified by their colour references, application methods and manufacturer documentation.
Prepared for your choice.
Colour preparation where required, guidance on the products and packs that work together, and nationwide supply from our UK operation.
People to work through it with.
Physical samples, Studio comparisons and help with material or installation questions, as your project takes shape.
Knowledge, put into practice
The hand.
The surface.
The conversation.
Working demonstrations and conversations around applied panels are part of ISF’s story. These moments from the National Painting & Decorating Show show the materials being worked, explained and considered in person.
The same care, online
From a colour you love
to a wall you can plan.
Explore genuine colour references, then use your finish and wall area to build a coordinated materials order. If you would like installation too, develop an online estimate for ISF to review with you.
A place to look a little closer
Come and meet
the material.
Texture has a scale. Sheen changes as you move. Our London Studio gives you a place to see applied surfaces and discuss the finishes you are considering.
