Primer/fixative: Use the substrate‑appropriate primer specified in the PDF (typically Primer 400
tinted) to ensure uniform absorption. Finish: Valrenna 2 applied in 2 coats; the final pass is brushed to create the soft suede effect. Optional protection: Clear sealer (only where elevated washability is required). |
| Drying / recoat | Follow intervals in the TDS; avoid forced drying and high humidity during application. |
| Sizes | Pack sizes as per PDF specification. |
*Always confirm coverage and final appearance on a sample board under project lighting.
System build
The Valrenna 2 system is based on a prepared substrate, the specified primer and two Valrenna 2 coats:
- Prepare & prime — Sound, clean, dry interior plaster, drywall or masonry. Stabilise friable surfaces and prime with the specified fixative/primer (typically Primer 400, tinted) to equalise absorption before applying Valrenna 2.
- First coat — Apply Valrenna 2 uniformly with a short‑pile roller or brush; let dry per TDS guidance.
- Second coat & texture — Apply a thin coat and, while workable, use a soft suede brush/spalter to create the characteristic directional suede movement.
- Optional protection — Apply a compatible clear sealer only in higher‑traffic areas if additional washability is required.

Professional tips
- Brush in consistent, gentle strokes; keep direction flowing wall‑to‑wall.
- Control room lighting while finishing — grazing light helps you read texture.
- Avoid over‑working; the soft look comes from light, even passes.
Drying & curing
- Respect stated intervals between coats; follow the TDS for timing at given temperature and humidity.
- Full cure as indicated in the TDS before any optional sealing or intensive cleaning.
Maintenance & health / safety
Maintenance:
- Dust with a soft cloth. If sealed, wipe gently with a damp cloth.
- Avoid abrasive cleaners to preserve the suede‑like surface.
Health & safety:
- Water‑borne system; ventilate during application and drying.
- Wear gloves/eye protection; avoid skin and eye contact.
- Store sealed between +5 °C and +30 °C.
Tailored by Italian Surface Finishes for UK interiors, Valrenna 2 delivers a tactile suede‑effect wall finish with calm elegance and practical durability. Ideal for bedrooms, lounges, boutique hotels and wellness spaces seeking quiet luxury.
