FARBY PRO × ICA
SUPERCARE HOME
The main idea: professional coatings developed for industrial use become available to ordinary people for updating their homes themselves.
Professional quality. By your own hands.
ICA technology. Farby PRO expertise.
Change the appearance of furniture, doors and other surfaces without having to buy new items.
NEW LIFE FOR YOUR INTERIOR
New life for furniture, kitchens and the whole interior
Familiar things can look completely different. Sometimes changing the colour of kitchen fronts, interior doors or a favourite chest of drawers is enough to transform the whole interior without buying new items.
SUPERCARE HOME brings together Italian ICA technology and Farby PRO's experience in tinting, material selection and coating systems. Professional coatings become easier to understand for people updating their homes themselves.
How can you repaint a kitchen yourself? Which furniture paint suits chipboard, MDF or a previously painted front? Can doors be updated without replacement? We start with your item and task, then determine the preparation, suitable system and desired decorative result.
Simplicity
Clear preparation, application and care. For tested coatings and substrates, roller application may be possible according to the instructions.
Durability
Professional ICA materials are developed with chemical and mechanical resistance requirements in mind. The final properties depend on the specific system.
Design
Custom shades, matte coatings, bronze, gold, brushed metal effects and natural stone textures.
Thoughtful renewal
Change the appearance of favourite items while keeping them. The options under consideration include water-based coatings; safe application conditions are assessed separately.
SUPERCARE HOME DIRECTIONS
What can you update yourself?
Furniture, kitchen fronts, doors, ceramic tiles, plastic windows and decorative panels each need their own process. Choose your task: we will show design possibilities and explain what needs checking before painting.
01 / SUPERCARE FURNITURE
MATERIAL SELECTION
Paint for furniture and kitchen fronts
New furniture without buying new
KITCHENS · MDF · CHIPBOARD · LAMINATED FRONTS
Painting kitchen fronts is one of the most noticeable ways to update an interior. Change the colour of a kitchen, wardrobe or chest of drawers while keeping the items themselves. Furniture paints are selected by substrate: laminated chipboard, previously lacquered veneer and painted MDF need different preparation. Paint for a kitchen set is chosen according to the existing coating as well as the shade. We select a separate system for each case.
02 / SUPERCARE DOORS
PREPARING FOR LAUNCH
How to repaint interior doors
One colour changes the space
DOORS · FRAMES · ARCHITRAVES
Updating interior doors helps coordinate door leaves, frames and architraves with a new interior. Paint for interior doors is selected according to the door material and existing coating. Painting MDF doors and previously lacquered surfaces starts with checking preparation and adhesion. Only then are colour, gloss level and application technique selected.
03 / SUPERCARE DESIGN
CHOOSING A DECORATIVE SYSTEM
Decorative paint with a metal effect
Design beyond familiar boundaries
METALLICS · BRONZE · GOLD · GRANITICO
Gold, brass, aged bronze, stone textures and brushed metal effects can transform an ordinary furniture door or panel. Farby PRO's decorative ideas feature different ICA technologies: metallic coatings, GRANITICO, Liquid Foil and liquid metals. These are separate ways of achieving distinctive colour depth, texture and play of light, each with its own coating system.
04 / SUPERCARE TILES
SYSTEM UNDER TESTING
Can bathroom and kitchen tiles be painted?
A new colour without removing tiles
CERAMICS · WALL TILES · KITCHEN SPLASHBACKS
Painting bathroom and kitchen tiles appeals to people who want to change an interior without major renovation. However, ceramic tile paint must withstand the conditions of the specific area: moisture, cleaning products and loads. Walls, showers and floors have different requirements. SUPERCARE Tiles is still at the system selection and testing stage, with no blanket promise for every tile.
05 / SUPERCARE PVC
SYSTEM UNDER TESTING
Painting plastic windows and PVC profiles
A different window colour without replacing frames
PVC · WINDOW FRAMES · WINDOW SILLS
How can white plastic windows or a window sill be updated? PVC characteristics, cleaning, coating adhesion and operating conditions all matter. Paint for plastic windows must be selected separately for the interior and exterior sides, with UV and weather resistance requirements outside. The SUPERCARE PVC solution for home application is still undergoing technical assessment.
06 / SUPERCARE GLASS
SYSTEM UNDER TESTING
Painting glass and glass furniture fronts
Glass as a design element
GLASS · PANELS · FURNITURE FRONTS
Glass paint can serve very different purposes, from artistic painting to the professional finishing of glass furniture fronts. Our focus is interior panels, decorative inserts and fronts with an even colour or special effect. Such items need a separate system of preparation, application and protection, with adhesion and future use conditions checked.
OTHER SURFACES
Parquet, metal and aluminium need separate solutions
One coating cannot perform equally on a wooden floor, steel and an aluminium profile. We therefore consider these areas separately, taking the substrate and use into account.
07 / SUPERCARE PARQUET
Lacquer for parquet and wooden floors
Updating parquet involves protecting it from wear as well as changing its colour. Depending on the condition of the coating, parquet lacquer or oil, wood preparation and possible sanding are considered. Home application is permitted only according to the selected system's instructions.
How to choose a floor coating08 / SUPERCARE METAL
Paint for metal furniture and doors
Painting metal furniture, frames, door parts and decorative items differs from painting over rust or industrial anticorrosion systems. The metal's condition, substrate preparation and compatibility of primer and topcoat matter.
How to choose a metal coating09 / SUPERCARE ALUMINIUM
Painting aluminium profiles
Aluminium windows, profiles and interior components require separate adhesion checks, especially on anodised surfaces. Aluminium paint is selected with cleaning, possible priming and operating conditions in mind.
What matters for aluminium?QUESTIONS BEFORE UPDATING
Where should you start with home painting?
Can a chipboard or MDF kitchen be repainted?
This depends on the factory coating, surface condition and preparation. Laminated board and painted MDF may need different processes. Start with the SUPERCARE Furniture section and an adhesion test on a sample.
Does one paint suit tiles, PVC and glass?
No, universal suitability cannot be promised without testing. Ceramic tiles, plastic windows and glass fronts differ in surface chemistry and operating conditions.
How does a professional coating differ from ordinary paint?
Industrial materials are developed for specific appearance, processing and durability requirements. For home use, the application method, labelling, component compatibility and work safety matter alongside the finished coating's properties.
MORE THAN COLOUR
Colour, texture and character for your interior
Calm cashmere or deep graphite? Warm gold, aged bronze or natural stone texture? You choose the mood, and Farby PRO helps select materials for the item. See particularly expressive decorative effects in the Liquid Foil article.
