The Finishes

The high pigmentation of Pure Flat Emulsion gives a profound depth of colour and makes this the flattest emulsion paint available. The paint is also micro-porous, to allow the fabric of a building to breathe.

Architects' Matt

Architects’ Matt is a completely washable matt emulsion with excellent scuff and stain resistance. With an ultra-low sheen of 3-5%, Architects’ Matt provides a beautiful flat finish that can cope with the activity of the modern family home.

Architects’ Eggshell

Architects’ Eggshell is a high-performance finish suitable for all interior and exterior woodwork, metalwork, furniture and radiators. Fully washable, it is ideal for use on kitchen and bathroom walls, especially where condensation may be problematic.

Architects’ Satin

Architects’ Satin is a self-priming satin paint that is particularly
suited to interior woodwork, including household joinery, wooden
furniture, skirtings, doors, windows and kitchen cabinetry. Also
suitable for exterior use, it achieves an elegant satin finish on front
doors and exterior woodwork.

Architects' Gloss

This tough, flexible and hardwearing gloss paint is suitable for interior and exterior woodwork, furniture, metalwork and radiators. The high gloss finish of this water-based paint makes it an excellent choice for front doors, where it delivers dual impact and sophistication.

Architects’ All Surface Primer (ASP)

Architects’ All Surface Primer (ASP) is a flexible primer, suitable for use on all interior and exterior surfaces including woodwork, building plastics, tiles, glass and metal. Tinted to the shade of your chosen
