Product Information

What is Eggshell paint? A question that we get asked alot and there are not stupid questions here on DIY Boss. Just helpful advice and no judgement.

A tough, cleanable emulsion with a smooth, even eggshell finish that protects against scrubs, scuffs and stains for ultimate durability. For use on interior walls, ceilings. For the best results, it’s recommended to work on small sections at a time to make sure the coat is applied in a thin and even layer. Fix all drips before moving on to the next section and continue the procedure until the full surface is covered. If the surface is new or bare, priming is essential. Choose a suitable product that is specifically formulated for either wood or metal and apply it as instructed. Prepare the surface before painting with sugar soap or any household cleaning products and let dry. Open up any windows to ensure there is plenty of ventilation in the room. This paint is low odour but it does have a slight smell to it.The mildly glossier finish of satin makes it slightly easier to clean and maintain than eggshell, but in reality there isn't a great deal of difference. Satin is easier to wipe clean while eggshell typically needs a little more effect to clean.

If you want a very low sheen with a soft touch finish that isn’t quite matt then eggshell is the one for you. If you want something with a little more lustre then satin is the better choice.
