Farrow & Ball Dimity Flat Eggshell has a low sheen level, offering a sophisticated, non-reflective finish.
While designed for wood, metal, and concrete, it is an eggshell finish, which is generally more durable than standard emulsions. For walls, Farrow & Ball typically recommends their emulsions (like Estate Emulsion or Modern Emulsion).
It is generally recommended to apply two coats for best coverage and durability, following the manufacturer's guidelines for drying times between coats.
Its durable, washable finish makes it suitable for these areas, especially on woodwork or cabinets. However, for high-moisture environments like shower walls, a more specialized paint might be considered.
Dimity pairs well with lighter colors like All White or Pointing (where it can appear pinker), and with darker colors like Oxford Stone on woodwork for a more aged, relaxed look.
It is ideal for wood, metal, and concrete surfaces, including floors, skirting, doors, kitchen cabinets, furniture, and radiators.
Clean spills and marks immediately with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared. Use a suitable primer if painting bare wood or metal.
Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes. Avoid over-brushing. Ensure adequate lighting during application.
Color can vary based on lighting and surrounding colors. Consider testing a small area or using Farrow & Ball's color consultation services.
Stir the paint thoroughly. If necessary, thin slightly with Farrow & Ball's recommended thinner, but avoid over-thinning.
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. For best results on bare wood or metal, apply a suitable primer. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand and clean.
Compatibility: This Flat Eggshell is designed for wood, metal, and concrete. It is suitable for use on skirting, doors, kitchen cabinets, furniture, radiators, and floors. Always test on an inconspicuous area first if unsure.
Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply two coats using a brush or roller, following the manufacturer's recommended drying times between coats. Ensure good ventilation during application and drying.
Care: Clean spills and marks immediately with a damp cloth. For more stubborn dirt, use a mild detergent solution and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as they can damage the finish.
