#AD – Style and Substance: A Reliable Paint You Can Hang Your Reputation On
– Advertorial –
Dulux Heritage is known for its timeless, luxury colour palette – but it also delivers easy application, durability and a quality finish. In this article, Matt Gray, Skills Development Consultant at Dulux Academy, lifts the lid on what makes Dulux Heritage so easy to use and apply.
Finishes for Every Surface
The Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt finish is predominantly used for walls and ceilings. It combines high-quality pigments and specially blended clays to provide a soft-touch, and luxurious feel, helping to elevate any interior space. The durable formulation provides an even distribution of paint across surfaces, enhancing the application process and overall aesthetic. Its consistent colour retention and wipeable properties prolongs the maintenance cycle, making Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt a great finish to use in high-traffic areas. Overall, this means painters and decorators can be confident that the paint will deliver the stand-out results their customers are looking for.
In addition, Dulux Heritage Eggshell is a water-based trim product that delivers a soft-sheen finish. It is suitable for areas such as windows, doors, and radiators. Its durability makes it a quality and reliable choice for decorators. The eggshell finish is formulated to ensure the paint flows along surfaces easily, enhancing the application process. Its superior surface adhesion ensures long-lasting results, while excellent washability and dust resistance make it a practical choice for all environments.
Superior Application Properties
As well as its reliability and durability, Dulux Heritage also offers a range of application benefits that ensure decorators can achieve standout results easily.
Velvet Matt
To ensure precision when cutting in, decorators often have to modify a paint’s texture to ensure a smooth application process. However, with Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt, this isn’t always needed (depending on the surface), meaning decorators can cut in with ease and deliver top-class results.
When applied with rollers, Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt offers even distribution across surfaces, eliminating issues such as picture framing or roller marks—a particular advantage when working with darker shades.
To deliver the best results using Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt, it is important to use high-quality medium or short pile rollers along with high-quality synthetic brushes for cutting in.
With drying times of just two to four hours between coats – and typically only requiring two coats to deliver quality results – decorators can complete projects efficiently and maintain exceptional coverage and quality when using Dulux Heritage.
Eggshell
Dulux Heritage Eggshell has been formulated to enhance the flow of the paint across surfaces and reduce brush marks. This provides a flatter finish, improved washability and wipeability and reduced dust attraction – improving the overall result.
The Dulux Heritage Eggshell formulation also offers great opacity and provides a more even distribution of paint across the surface, resulting in fewer coats and lower material costs for decorators. The formula will usually need two coats and decorators should allow up to six hours between each one.
When using Dulux Heritage Eggshell on larger surfaces, a microfiber roller is ideal. However, a good quality synthetic brush is essential for precise detailing. Before applying the paint, it is recommended to dampen the surface slightly with a microfiber cloth as this will fill in any texture on the surface, improve the flow of the paint and the quality of the finish.
In conclusion, Dulux Heritage provides quality and reliability that decorators can hang their reputation on. With ease of application, durability and a palette of stand-out colours to choose from decorators can easily achieve top results for their customers.
