Paint & Finishes

Eggshell (UK)

"A durable, low-sheen paint finish typically used on UK interior woodwork and trim, and occasionally on external timber doors and windows in sheltered positions."

In detail

Water-based eggshell (e.g., Dulux Diamond Eggshell, Little Greene Intelligent Eggshell) has largely replaced traditional oil-based versions. Exterior eggshell needs UV-stable pigments and microporous behaviour.
