Paint products we specify and why
For walls in living areas we generally specify Dulux Diamond Matt or Little Greene Intelligent Matt: both wipeable, both extremely forgiving in raking light. In hallways and stairwells we step up to a scrubbable acrylic eggshell so dirt comes off without burnishing.
Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion and Modern Emulsion are specified for clients who want the company's signature pigment depth. Modern Emulsion gives a wipeable surface; Estate Emulsion sits flatter and richer. We will always tell you honestly when a cheaper product would deliver an indistinguishable finish.
Woodwork is normally finished in a water-based satinwood, typically Tikkurila Helmi or Dulux Diamond, to avoid the yellowing that plagues older oil-based gloss. Where a traditional oil finish is requested we use it and accept the longer cure time.
