Collection: Blackfriar

The Blackfriar brand has been apart of the paint and varnishing world for over one hundred years. In 1902 the Blackfriar name was born and the new business quickly earned an excellent reputation for its woodstains and varnishes. 

The business grew rapidly and expanded its product range to the extent that in the 1920s it became famed for the black paints it supplied to the motor industry for use in brake shoes for cars and heavy goods vehicles.

Family-owned for over 100 years, Blackfriar was built on a tradition of supplying high quality paints and woodcare products to independent merchants, craftsmen and DIY enthusiasts.

The Blackfriar range features an extensive product range of Paints, Woodcare and Preparation Essentials, including ranges that are suitable for both the professional and DIY decorators.
