Product Information

How Many Coats of Paint on Skirting Boards? Generally, two coats of paint are recommended for skirting boards. However, this can vary depending on the type of paint and the colour you're covering. Always refer to the manufacturer's guidelines for the best results. If you’re working with unpainted skirting boards, apply a primer before the painting stage for a professional finish and long-lasting results. Browse our extensive range of wood primers to find the perfect product for the job. Diamond Satinwood from Dulux Trade is another example of a water-based paint that comes in a traditional satin finish. As with any DIY project, it's all in the preparation to ensure the best job, so while it can seem time consuming and boring, we fully recommend you follow each of our below steps for the best outcome. Primer: If you're looking for a more durable finish, consider applying a primer. This is especially important if you're using a paint that requires an undercoat.

Does Satinwood Paint Stay White? High-quality satinwood paint is less likely to yellow over time compared to cheaper alternatives. However, all paints are subject to some degree of discolouration due to factors like sunlight exposure and general wear and tear. It's also renowned for its durability and hardwearing characteristics. This should be considered in high foot traffic areas and homes with young children. On first thoughts, the room is going to be very dark. But that doesn't necessarily mean it has to be gloomy. Can I Use a Roller with Satinwood Paint? Yes, you can use a roller with satinwood paint, especially for larger areas. A foam roller is often recommended for a smoother finish. However, a brush may be more suitable for intricate details and edges.Work the paint into the brush, up to about halfway up the bristles, wiping away any excess paint. Always cut into the skirting first, applying paint evenly in sections of about half a meter at a time. Ensure you always make your final stroke of the brush along the length of the board. Next apply decorators tape along the base of the wall, where it meets the top of the skirting board. This will ensure a crisp, clean line and protect your walls from getting marked with the paint.

Firstly let's discuss what is meant to retail paint & trade paint. Most major paint manufacturers will produce two versions of their popular paints, a retail version that is designed for the average homeowner and a trade version that is designed for professional decorators. These two versions usually vary in a number of ways to suit the different needs of either DIY'ers or professional decorators. The retail version of the paint is made as cost-effective as possible as the average DIY'er is more price conscious when buying paint. Due to this they have lower coverage and are less durable, while the trade version offers a consistently professional finish in as little coats as possible. This is because a professional decorator needs to achieve excellent results in as little time as possible, as the cost of their labour increases with each hour they must spend applying the paint. Due to its expert technical knowledge of the technologies and materials available across the industry, Promain has a reputation for outstanding service among its trade and retail customers. A paint brush is often preferred as it can paint to full skirting board up to the edge. Paint brushes come in two main forms; natural bristle and synthetic. As the name would suggest, natural bristle paint brushes are made from natural sources such as animal hair. They are designed for use with oil-based paints and due to their split ends that can achieve a non-streak finish. They cannot be used with water-based paints as they will absorb the water. A synthetic bristle paint brush is made of nylon, polyester or a mix of both and is perfect for use with water-based paints. Essentially, you can paint them any colour you like, and consider flipping the traditional look too – if you love red and white for example, have white walls and red skirtings. The beauty of this look is that you really can choose whatever you like. 'Conventionally, white is a popular choice when it comes to painting skirting boards,' says Punam Chada, carpet buyer at Carpetright. Emma Bestley, co-founder of paint company, YesColours, encourages experimentation with skirting boards.Eggshell: Offers a low-sheen finish that's between matte and satin. It's less reflective and gives a more subtle appearance. Finally, if you have a period home and want to keep your skirting boards looking like natural wood, you can go for a wood-stain paint and have the dado and picture rails to match.
