Businesses in the decorating materials category supply products used to prepare, protect and finish interior and exterior surfaces. They commonly stock emulsion, gloss, satin and masonry paints, wood stains and varnishes, primers, undercoats and specialist coatings. Wallpaper, lining paper, wall coverings and related pastes may also be available, alongside fillers, sealants, adhesives and surface-preparation products. Customers can expect to find decorating tools and sundries such as brushes, rollers, trays, scrapers, sandpaper, masking tape, dust sheets and protective equipment. Some suppliers offer paint mixing or colour matching, help identify suitable products for particular surfaces and conditions, and provide delivery or trade supply services. Stock may cater to household projects as well as professional decorators, with products sold in different finishes, colours, quantities and application formats.
