Dead Flat
The ultra-matt, hard-wearing all-rounder by Farrow & Ball
With Dead Flat, Farrow & Ball sets new standards in matt wall finishes. The formula, which was optimised a few years ago, produces the brand’s mattest yet most durable finish to date.

Ideal for colour drenching
Dead Flat’s innovative formulation enables a harmonious, seamless colour scheme. As it is suitable for a wide variety of substrates, walls, radiators, doors, skirting boards and metal surfaces blend visually to form a single unit. The consistently matt finish ensures perfect ‘colour drenching’ – that is, painting all the elements of a room in the same shade.
Suitable for high-traffic living areas
Thanks to its improved resistance to stains and mechanical abrasion, Dead Flat is suitable not only for formal living rooms and bedrooms, but also for hallways, kitchens and children’s bedrooms. The finish remains beautiful over time and retains its characteristic velvety, powdery appearance.
Application
The paint is characterised by minimal dripping and excellent flow, which minimises the formation of roller marks.
For a perfect finish, it must be applied in two coats using a high-quality synthetic paint roller or a brush with synthetic bristles.
To ensure optimum adhesion and maximum colour depth, it is essential to prepare the surface using the appropriate Farrow & Ball primer. This ensures even absorption and guarantees the longevity of the finish.
