Dulux Silk Emulsion Paint For Walls And Ceilings - Timeless 2.5 Litres

This is a very good quality paint and a good value for money. Also it has a good coverage with two coats. The one I bought has a subtle sheen and is smooth to the touch. It was very easy to use and apply.

Anyone who has emulsioned walls and ceilings knows there is a knack to painting corners because when the roller goes down the edge of one wall, it leaves marks on the wall next to it.So we have to paint the corners in (cut in) so the roller doesn't have to touch the adjacent wall and we get a seamless coverage.We also know that if your cut in section of paint dries before you paint the wall, you can get a visible stripe and we end up having to do several coats and use primer and all sorts of time consuming things to cover the dried cut in.This emulsion ( which used to be called "Once") puts a stop to all that.It's nice and thick and covers the cut in bits beautifully.I will give you an example....My staircase has very a high ceiling and walls.Impossible to reach without using an extension pole.Last week I was emulsioning it.I had done one wall and had painted the cut in to the next when.....the extension pole broke.I had to drive to the nearest store to buy a new one.My cutting in was bone dry by the time I got back.Using this high quality paint ensured no stripe was visible after the wall was finished.It makes the job much easier because it really does mean you only have to do one coat.Yes it is a bit more expensive than regular emulsion, but I think it works out as better value overall because you don't need undercoat or to paint a second coat.It's not too thick or gloopy but it's not too thin either.It's the perfect consistency and gives great coverage.I have already ordered more for the next DIY job.PSit's approx ten quid cheaper on amazon than in B & Q

I did the walls and ceilings of two rooms with this easy care range and it is good paint for amateurs. I would use it again unless I wanted a really fancy-looking finish (but then I would hire a decorator).The good:Widely available if you need to pick up another tin in the same colour.Fairly pricedWell packaged - leakage is almost impossible.Easy-open tins with easy-close plastic lidsNo strong smellNo stirring needed unless separatedGloopy - with care with the roller you can completely avoid drips.Quick dryingFair obliteration - 2 coats on lighter bases and 3 on darker.Easy cleanup of tools although I binned my rollers.Didn’t leave obvious transitions between cutting in areas with the brush and the rolled areas.The not-so good:Gloopy with the brush - harder to spread around although giving it a good stir in your bucket just with the brush helps a little bit.13sqm coverage feel like a best case - I used more of this than I expected to need.Adequate but not superb finishI can’t comment on durability/mark resistance because I only just finished using it.

I recently tried out the Dulux Walls & Ceilings Tester Paint in the White Cotton shade, and I’m pretty happy with how it turned out. The 30 ml tester size is super handy, especially if you’re like me and need to see how a color looks on your wall before committing to a full can.White Cotton is a gorgeous, soft off-white with a hint of warmth. It’s perfect if you want your room to feel bright and inviting without being too stark or cold. The matte finish is really nice, giving the walls a smooth and elegant look without looking flat.Applying the paint was really easy. It goes on smoothly with no streaks, and the consistency is just right—not too thick or too thin. I tried it out with both a brush and a small roller, and it worked well with both. The tester size was enough to cover a small area on my wall, so I could see how it looked in different lights.For a tiny pot, the coverage was surprisingly good. One coat was enough to give me a clear idea of how the color would look, though I’d definitely go for a couple of coats if I were painting a whole wall. It gave me a solid sense of how the final result would turn out.The little pot is cute and practical. It’s small enough to store easily, and the lid seals tightly, so no worries about it drying out before you’re done testing. Plus, it’s the perfect size to try out a few different shades without feeling wasteful.I really liked the Dulux Walls & Ceilings Tester Paint in White Cotton. It’s a beautiful, versatile shade, and the paint itself was easy to work with. If you’re trying to decide on a color for your space, this tester is definitely worth picking up. It’s a great way to make sure you’re happy with your choice before diving into a full paint job.

First time I've tried this paint. I found that it covers well and, in my case, only required one coat. In the past I've used cheaper paint that required at least two, if not three coats of paint. It's reasonably thick and easy to apply. I use a brush and didn't spread it out too thinly. Certainly would buy again.
