- Water-based eggshell paint for interior wood and metal
- Wide colour range of rich, luxurious colours
- Perfect for accent areas of trim
Dulux Heritage Eggshell is a premium water-based finish for interior wood and metal, ideal for doors, window frames, radiators, shelving and skirting boards.
Ideal for use in tandem with Dulux Heritage Velvet Matt, providing an accent on trim or coving or a seamless finish in the same colour for both walls and wood.
To achieve the best quality results, establish that the surfaces are structurally sound, free of imperfections such as dust dirt or any other surface contaminants.
- On new surfaces, ensure the substrate is thoroughly dry before starting your project
- Remove all peeling, cracking or loose paint with a paint scraper or by sanding smooth, extra caution needs to be taken if removing paint that is pre 1960s as it could potentially contain harmful amounts of lead
- Any defects, such as cracks or holes need to be repaired with a suitable filler and then sanded to a smooth finish
- If necessary, sand the project area to produce a smooth and flat finish
- Wash oily and greasy areas with a suitable detergent, rinse clean and then allow to dry thoroughly
- Prime new or bare surfaces with Dulux Heritage Undercoat
Always perform a test area before starting any project to judge the suitability, effectiveness and finish of the product
- Stir Dulux Heritage Eggshell thoroughly to ensure a good mixture of pigment and paint medium, making sure to mix the very bottom and sides of the tin
- The standard application is two coats applied by brush or roller to achieve a solid and opaque finish, though further coats may be necessary depending on the quality of the undercoat and the previous colour of the substrate
- Allow 6 hours between coats
To maintain the finish of Dulux Heritage Eggshell, a re-coat may be required. When it's time to freshen up, repeat preparation steps above. This will only be necessary if the surface becomes tired or marked.
