Outdoor
For enhancing your home's exterior, Tikkurila Orchid Y421 provides an appealing option in name but is not suitable for outdoor application. This color is formulated for indoor use and does not meet the demands of exterior surfaces exposed to weathering and moisture.
For outside projects, Tikkurila recommends using specialized paint products designed for external environments. Products such as Valtti Opaque deliver excellent performance on surfaces like log cabins, fences, facades, and masonry by offering strong adhesion, flexibility, and resistance to flaking and cracking.
