Product Information

Full details

Dulux Trade Vinyl Matt Paint in Summer Linen is an ideal choice for professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts looking for a high-opacity, professional-grade finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the advanced AkzoNobel formulation that provides exceptional coverage, often requiring fewer coats to mask previous colors or surface imperfections. However, users should note that as a flat matt finish, it is best suited for low-traffic areas as it is less resistant to scrubbing compared to satin or silk alternatives.

FAQs

How many coats are typically required?

Due to its high opacity, two full coats are usually sufficient to achieve a professional, solid color finish.

Can I use this paint in a kitchen?

It is not recommended. Vinyl Matt is best for living rooms and bedrooms; kitchens require more durable, moisture-resistant paints.

How long does it take to dry?

It is touch dry within 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat after 2-4 hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.

What tools should I use to apply it?

A synthetic bristle brush for cutting in edges and a medium-pile roller for large surfaces will provide the best results.

Is this paint low VOC?

Yes, Dulux Trade products are designed to meet current environmental standards for low VOC emissions.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush strokes or roller marks

Avoid over-spreading the paint. Maintain a 'wet edge' and ensure you are not applying too much pressure on the roller.

The finish looks uneven or patchy

Ensure the surface was primed correctly. Porous surfaces suck the moisture out of the paint too quickly, causing 'flashing'.

Paint is peeling shortly after application

Check the wall for residual grease, dust, or moisture. Thoroughly clean and sand the surface before re-applying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent opacity reduces project time by requiring fewer coats
  • Flat finish hides surface imperfections and wall defects
  • Professional-grade consistency allows for a smooth, streak-free application
  • Dries quickly, enabling faster turnaround times for room completion

Cons

  • Less durable against repeated washing than higher-sheen finishes
  • The flat finish can highlight areas that collect excessive dust
  • Requires proper surface preparation to ensure optimal adhesion
  • Not suitable for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying the paint, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose material or grease. If the wall is particularly porous, applying a primer or a mist coat (a thinned-down version of the paint) is recommended to prevent uneven absorption. The paint is compatible with standard synthetic brushes and rollers. After application, cleaning is straightforward: wash tools with clean water while the paint is still wet. Store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is airtight to prevent the product from skinning or drying out before future use.
