Product Information

Full details

Mylands Archway House 106 is a premium, plant-based eggshell paint designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a sophisticated, historical aesthetic on interior woodwork and metal. Its primary benefit lies in its rich, warm grey undertones that offer a cozy atmosphere while providing a durable, washable finish. The main caveat is that as an eggshell formulation, it is specifically optimized for trim, doors, and furniture rather than high-traffic wall surfaces which may require a different product sheen for optimal uniformity.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint on high-traffic walls?

While it is washable, this eggshell formulation is specifically designed for trim, woodwork, and metal. For large wall areas, we recommend a dedicated wall emulsion.

Is this paint environmentally friendly?

Yes, it is a plant-based formulation designed to minimize environmental impact.

Does this paint require a primer?

On raw or previously unpainted surfaces, a primer is highly recommended to ensure uniform finish and proper adhesion.

How quickly does it dry?

The formula is quick-drying, though exact times depend on humidity and room temperature. Always allow for adequate drying time before applying a second coat.

Can I use this on outdoor furniture?

No, this product is formulated exclusively for interior use.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering to metal surfaces

Ensure the metal was properly primed with a dedicated metal primer before the application of the eggshell paint.

Visible brush marks after drying

Apply using high-quality synthetic brushes and maintain a "wet edge" during painting. Do not overwork the paint once it begins to set.

Finish appears patchy

Ensure the surface was sanded and primed properly. Patchiness often occurs on porous surfaces that have not been adequately sealed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, rich color depth with complex undertones
  • Environmentally friendly plant-based composition
  • Excellent durability and scuff resistance
  • Quick-drying formula speeds up project timelines
  • Highly washable for easy home maintenance

Cons

  • Limited to interior applications
  • Eggshell sheen may not be ideal for large wall areas
  • Requires proper surface preparation for metal adhesion

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal results, all surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of dust or grease before application. For raw wood, use a compatible primer to seal the surface, while existing painted surfaces should be lightly sanded to provide a "key" for adhesion. If applying to metal, ensure it is primed with a suitable metal primer to prevent oxidation. Clean brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use to maintain tool longevity. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is sealed tightly to prevent skinning.
