Full Gloss
Farrow & Ball’s high-gloss statement for indoors and outdoors
Thanks to the highest gloss level of any Farrow Ball colour, Full Gloss creates a highly reflective finish. The so-called ‘glossy look’ has a long tradition in the UK, particularly in prestigious townhouses. Full Gloss brings this aesthetic into the modern era and offers a formula that also meets contemporary technical requirements. The finish lends colours an unrivalled brilliance and visual depth. Whether as an eye-catching feature indoors or in a classic English style as a front door paint: Full Gloss impresses with its durability. The paint is washable and protects both wooden and metal surfaces for years to come.
The special features of Full Gloss
- High-gloss finish: 95% gloss level for maximum light reflection (high-gloss)
- Versatile application: Suitable for demanding indoor and outdoor projects
- Outstanding durability: Maximum resistance to water, stains and mechanical impact
- Healthy living: Modern, water-based formula with low odour and fast drying time.
- Durability: Easily washable; protects outdoor surfaces for many years when applied correctly as part of a system
Applications
The high-gloss varnish is equally suitable for wood and metal. Its weather resistance makes it ideal for use on garden gates, window shutters and front doors. Indoors, the hard surface provides protection for high-wear areas such as kitchen cupboards, skirting boards and stair railings.
Full Gloss is ideal for creating ‘statement pieces’. A front door with this finish exudes timeless elegance, whilst glossy radiators or colourfully painted upcycled furniture create a striking contrast against matt walls.
Application
The paint is characterised by minimal dripping and excellent flow, which minimises the formation of roller marks.
To ensure a perfect high-gloss finish, 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.
The paint must be applied in two coats using a high-quality synthetic paint roller or a brush with synthetic bristles. Light sanding between coats with fine-grit sandpaper optimises the smooth finish.
