Product Information

As one of the most touched surfaces in your home, your banister paint needs to withstand this. For that reason, choosing a washable satinwood or gloss is always a good call. Whilst a matt or eggshell paint might LOOK better, ultimately, they wouldn’t be able to withstand the high traffic. Aesthetics

Think about how you want your banisters to look – do you want them to stand out? Maybe you want them a neutral colour that blends in with your existing decor. Either way, aesthetics matter!

Like our number one choice, this particular paint has a satinwood finish but being from Dulux’s Trade range means it’s going to be far superior in durability and quality than typical retail paint so is likely to last a good few years before needing a repaint.

It’s hands down the best when it comes to price:performance ratio.This is perhaps the most important thing to consider when you’re painting your banisters. Sure, we all want that perfect look but it’ll mean nothing if in a few month’s time your paint is starting to scratch off or fade. They will give your staircase a solid framework, and they are also crucial to the staircase's aesthetic appeal. Finally, it's important to consider newel posts. They must be robust enough to support the weight of the staircase, which they do by maintaining its equilibrium and ensuring its stability.
