Flat Eggshell
Farrow & Ball’s matt premium paint for British interiors
Flat Eggshell is the first choice for lovers of minimalist interior design. With a gloss level of just 20 per cent, this paint offers a more matt finish than Farrow & Ball’s classic Modern Eggshell, without compromising on functionality. The special formulation lends a velvety, almost powdery depth to wood and metal surfaces, as well as indoor floors.
The special features of Flat Eggshell
- Luxurious finish: A gloss level of 20% ensures a silky sheen with subtle light reflection.
- Durability: Good mechanical resistance for long-lasting surfaces.
- Ease of cleaning: The surface wipes clean easily and is resistant to stains.
- Optimal coverage: The low gloss level conceals minor imperfections in the substrate more effectively than high-gloss paints.
- Environmentally conscious formula: Water-based, low in VOCs and virtually odourless during application.
Applications
In the Farrow & Ball range, Flat Eggshell acts as a bridge between extreme mattness and technical durability.
The paint is suitable for almost all solid interior surfaces:
- Wooden elements: furniture and wall panelling
- Metal surfaces: Perfect for radiators and pipework
- Floors: Primed parquet and concrete floors
- Upcycling: Ideal for refurbishing vintage furniture
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 durability of the finish.
