Best Matt emulsion that needs one coat + Roller
 

Hi,

I am going to paint most of a 2 bedroom bungalow's interior walls and
ceilings in matt emulsion probably going to do most of it brilliant
white (might do sitting room with cream walls). Please could you
recommend a readily available matt emulsion that will need only one
coat (the walls don't have strong colours on most of them are faded
white). The ceilings are quite high I was thinking of getting a large
roller on an expanding pole is there a better brand of roller or type
to do this kind of thing to give a better finish and get the job done
quicker?

Thankyou.

I prefer Crown to Dulux but neither will give you a good finish with one
coat,

Now I prefer Dulux to Crown, but Chacun a son Gout :-)

I've never tried paint pads, but many folks swear by them.

Johnstone's Ultramatt will almost cover new pink plaster in a single
coat, so it may well do your job.

Dulux Trade High Cover Matt.-I give this stuff 10 out of 10 for depth of
cover.
Just applied by 9 inch roller 10 litres of this stuff straight on to new
plastered plaster board walls one wall was original plaster on brick which I
drew on with black fibre tip 3 coats of vinyl matt and you could still see
the marks-one coat of trade matt--gone--.
The only potential drawback is if you apply it thick you get a rough texture
effect-and-if you go over areas to increase thickness when wet the whole lot
comes off--
available in B&Q

You're crossposting you pillock.

There's nothing wrong with crossposting, provided it is of on-topic subjects
to appropriate groups. Admittedly, uk.comp.homebuilt isn't particular
appropriate, but perhaps the OP thought that it was about homebuilding,
rather than computer assembly...

Thanks for all your useful replies. Sorry about the cross posting. I
think I will be doing some painting so will be buying some of the
products you mentioned but I am intregued about the washing would you
use warm water with a little washing up liquid and a sponge or just
warm water on the sponge?

What you need is 'Sugar Soap' by Mangers. It is a can of suger like
crystals which you dissolve as directed. It is very effective at quickly
getting the grime off the old surface. Avoid products that can (and will)
foam up as you work on the suface as indeed washing up liquid does.

The can boasts that it is the "professional decorator's secret".
