Why Buy Dulux Trade Paint?

There’s a reason Dulux has been one of the go-to names in paint, the company started back in 1931 so have a long history of making quality products but not only that, they offer their wide range of paints at great value prices.

We like Dulux Trade paints thanks to their reliable tried and tested formulas and the huge variety of shades on offer. Popular with professional decorators and DIY painters alike, you can rely on Dulux Trade paints for any job no matter how big or small.

What is the difference between Dulux Trade and Dulux paint?

A common question among DIY decorators is what makes trade paint different from retail paint. Trade paints are superior quality paints as they are designed for professionals. They offer better opacity, are more durable and hardwearing, are easier to apply thanks to their higher quality formula and offer far better coverage. For example, where a Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt covers 17m per litre, the retail equivalent Dulux Vinyl Matt only covers 13m per litre.

What is the difference between Dulux Trade Matt Emulsion and Vinyl Matt emulsion?

Vinyl matt paints typically have a different formula which uses a higher level of protective resins. The idea is that with a slightly higher vinyl content, the paint is more resistant to damage over time.

What is Dulux Trade Diamond?

The Dulux Trade Diamond range is a durable, hard wearing range of trade paints suitable for high traffic areas. It contains anti-fade technology which means you can scrub and wash the painted surface frequently without damaging the colour or finish. Dulux Diamond contains stain repellent technology and achieves Class 1 ISO 11998 and Type C BS 7719 scrub ratings, meaning walls withstand daily wear and tear and the finished job looks better for longer. If you're looking for a matt finish then check out our Dulux Trade Diamond Matt product range, also available in the popular brilliant white.

What Dulux Paint is best for skirting boards and trim?

If you’re painting skirting boards or any other interior wooden or metal trim we recommend Dulux Trade Satinwood or for a more durable finish, Dulux Trade Diamond Satinwood. If you’re in a hurry, Dulux Once is a one coat and done paint favoured by many.
