FAQs About Our Dulux Trade Products
The main difference between Dulux Trade Matt Emulsion and Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Emulsion is durability and washability.
-
Dulux Trade Matt Emulsion provides a smooth, flat, non-reflective finish that helps hide minor surface imperfections. It’s ideal for low-traffic areas such as ceilings and bedrooms where scrubbing isn’t usually needed.
-
Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Emulsion, on the other hand, contains vinyl resins that make it more durable and wipeable. This makes it better suited to higher-traffic spaces like hallways, kitchens, living rooms and commercial interiors where walls may need regular cleaning.
In short: choose Matt Emulsion for a standard flat decorative finish, and Vinyl Matt Emulsion for added durability and easier maintenance.
Dulux Trade paints are professional-grade products designed for professional decorators and trade professionals. They contain a higher pigment load and better-quality resins, which means improved opacity, stronger colour consistency, and better coverage, often requiring fewer coats.
Standard Dulux (retail range) paints are developed for DIY use. They’re easier for homeowners to apply but typically have slightly lower coverage and durability compared to the Trade range.
Choose a finish based on its intended use.Â
-
Dulux Trade Diamond Satinwood provides added scuff and stain-resistant benefits for woodwork in high-traffic areas.Â
-
Dulux Trade Metalshield provides a durable, rust-resistant finish for interior metal surfaces that can be washed and scrubbed.
-
Dulux Trade Gloss finishes are hard-wearing and suitable for both wood and metal trims.
Follow these steps to ensure the best coverage and long-term durability:
-
Inspect the surface: Ensure that the surface you are going to paint is free from flaking or cracks.
-
Clean the surface: Remove any dust, dirt, or mould that could affect your paint’s adhesion.
-
Sand, if necessary: Gently sand previously painted or glossy surfaces to create a key for your chosen finish.
-
Apply a primer: Apply a suitable primer to the surface to improve adhesion and ensure superior coverage.
-
Prepare the paint: Mix your paint thoroughly before applying to ensure consistency and enhanced performance.
-
Apply your paint: Using a quality paint brush or roller, apply the paint evenly in thin coats. Ensure your first coat is completely dry before applying a second coat.
Yes, but only within the recommended limits. Water-based emulsions and satin finishes, such as Vinyl Matt and Diamond Matt, can be thinned with water for easier application on porous surfaces when using spray equipment.
Over-thinning your paint can reduce coverage, opacity and scrub resistance. Always follow the manufacturer’s dilution guidelines for best results.
Not necessarily, but investing in high-quality paint application supplies will help maximise efficiency for durable, professional results across different surfaces.
A high-quality medium-pile roller helps ensure even coverage on large interior walls and ceilings, while a synthetic brush is better suited for metal and woodwork. Larger commercial paint jobs are best tackled using an airless spray applicator for smooth, even application and efficiency.
