Overview

Overview

Back

Farrow & Ball Modern Eggshell is the toughest product in the Farrow & Ball range. Modern Eggshell transforms kitchen cabinetry, skirting boards, stairs, floors, and other hardworking interior wood or metal surfaces. With a subtle 40% sheen, it makes for a glossier alternative to Farrow and Ball Estate Eggshell.

Washable & wipeable. This product isn't suitable for basements or buildings without a functioning damp-proof course and membrane because this can cause failure between the paint and surface being painted, which can include flaking, peeling and blistering. Not suitable for exterior decking or other pressure treated wood.

Application

Application

Back

Always make a test area before the application to judge the suitability of the product. Follow the manufacturer's instructions at all times. Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, grease and other contamination

Please note: Darker/stronger colours may require additional coats. The drying and recoat times provided are based on applying paint in normal conditions. Drying times may be longer in cooler and/or higher humidity environments. Darker colours may take longer to dry. Allow a minimum of 14 days before applying over solvent based coatings. Allow at least 24 hours before heavy traffic.

Do not paint in temperatures below 10°C or in excessive heat above 30°C.

Applying Paint to Trim by Brush

  1. Stir thoroughly before use
  2. For best results use a quality fine-tipped synthetic bristled paint brush
  3. Load the brush well and apply a generous first coat
  4. Brushing first in a vertical direction then in a horizontal direction until an even coating has been applied
  5. Finish off by 'laying off' the paint in one direction using light pressure, with the brush held at an angle of approximately 30°
  6. Allow to dry completely for a minimum of 4 hours before applying a second coat
  7. When painting doors or cabinetry, it's important to lay off (paint your final strokes) in the direction of the grain, finishing the brush stroke at the visible carpentry joints for a flawless finish

Applying Paint to Trim by Roller

  1. Stir thoroughly before use
  2. Paint can be applied using a medium pile woven polyester roller, this will provide a good finish with minimal stippling and is a quick method of application
  3. Where an optimum finish is required, it is recommended brush application using a fine-tipped synthetic bristled brush
