Dulux Trade Diamond Satinwood

Dulux Trade Diamond Satinwood is a tough, durable satinwood paint that provides an excellent resistance to grease and moisture on both interior wood and metal surfaces, making it suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens, as well as on doors, skirting boards and staircases.

Please Note: This product is not suitable for immersed surfaces or where there is very heavy and prolonged condensation.

Ensure that wood to be painted is clean, dry and free from traces of dust, dirt or any other surface contaminants.

New or Bare Wood

1. New or bare wood should be sanded in the direction of the wood grain to remove any surface imperfections
2. Take care to remove all traces of sanding dust with a vacuum cleaner or damp, lint-free cloth
3. On bare wood, where a strong colour change is required, or when over-coating a factory primed substrate, we recommend priming with Dulux Trade Quick Dry Undercoat

Previously Treated Wood

1. All traces of grease, wax and polish must be completely removed prior to applying Diamond Satinwood
2. Coated surfaces in good condition should be sanded back to provide a good surface key and final finish
3. Do not use wood dyes or stains over previous coatings as the adhesion will be poor
4. Special precautions should be taken during surface preparation of pre-1970s painted surfaces as they may contain harmful lead
5. Where the existing coating is defective (cracking, peeling, flaking) it must be completely removed and the surface prepared as described for New or Bare Wood above

Always do a test area before starting any project to assess product suitability and final finish. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on the tin at all times.

Do not use below 8°C or in areas of high humidity or condensation.

Stir the contents of the tin thoroughly prior to application to ensure a consistent finish.

1. Apply with a good quality synthetic paint brush, microfibre roller or spray applicator
2. For best results if using a brush, lightly dampen both the brush and the surface prior to applying the first coat to increase flow
3. Apply 2 full coats on previously coated or suitably primed surfaces
4. Allow 6 hours drying time between coats

To maintain the finish, simply apply a fresh coat of Dulux Trade Satinwood as required, following the Preparation and Application instructions above.
