Applications

This paint has been developed for surfaces subjected to high mechanical stress. Intelligent Eggshell is particularly recommended for wooden and metal surfaces (including radiators) as well as high-traffic interior walls in utility rooms.

  • Kitchens and bathrooms: Reliable protection against condensation and splashes on walls and kitchen fronts.
  • Architectural details: Long-lasting finish for door frames, door casings, window frames and skirting boards.
  • Radiators: A heat-resistant paint that can be colour-matched precisely to the wall colour.

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.

The surface to be painted must be clean, dry and free of grease. Thanks to Little Greene’s Intelligent Grip technology, a separate primer is not required on most stable substrates. However, existing oil-based paint should be lightly sanded to maximise mechanical adhesion.

To ensure optimum adhesion and maximum colour depth, we recommend preparing the surface with the appropriate Little Greene primer. This ensures even absorption and guarantees the longevity of the finish.

  • Gloss level: 10–15% (low-sheen / silk matt)
  • Coverage: Approx. 12 m² per litre per coat (depending on the surface)
