FAQs

What surfaces can Farrow & Ball Dimity Flat Eggshell be used on?

This paint is suitable for wood, metal, and concrete surfaces, including floors, skirting boards, doors, kitchen cabinets, furniture, and radiators.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

Yes, its durable and wipeable eggshell finish makes it suitable for kitchens and other areas that require regular cleaning.

How many coats of Dimity Flat Eggshell are recommended?

Generally, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage, depth of colour, and a durable finish. Always refer to the product tin for specific guidance.

How should I prepare the surface before painting?

Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. Sand down glossy surfaces and apply an appropriate primer to bare wood or metal.

How do I clean my painted surfaces?

Painted surfaces can be cleaned with a soft cloth and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the difference between Flat Eggshell and other Farrow & Ball finishes?

Flat Eggshell has a low sheen and is highly durable, ideal for high-traffic areas and woodwork. Other finishes like Estate Emulsion have a matte finish, while Modern Emulsion is more washable. Full Gloss offers a high shine.

Does the colour Dimity look the same in all lighting conditions?

The perception of colour can be influenced by natural and artificial light, as well as surrounding colours. Dimity is a warm taupe that can appear slightly pinker when paired with certain colours.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred and applied with consistent strokes. Use a high-quality brush or roller. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Paint not adhering well

Check that the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, and free from grease). Ensure appropriate primer was used on bare or previously painted surfaces.

Colour appears different than expected

Colour can vary depending on lighting conditions and surrounding colours. Test a small area first. Ensure consistent application of primer and topcoats.

Difficulty cleaning surfaces

Use a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or scrubbing which can dull the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust and grease. Remove any flaking paint and sand down glossy surfaces to create a key for the new paint. For bare wood or metal, apply an appropriate primer (e.g., Farrow & Ball Metal Primer & Undercoat or Wood Primer & Undercoat).

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are typically recommended for best coverage and finish. Allow adequate drying time between coats (refer to product tin for specific times).

Compatibility: Suitable for wood, metal, and concrete. Can be used on floors, skirting, doors, kitchen cabinets, furniture, and radiators.

Care: Clean tools and brushes with warm soapy water immediately after use. For cleaning painted surfaces, use a soft cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which can damage the finish.
