Emulsion Paints

Learn more about emulsion paints

Emulsion paints are commonly used for internal walls, ceilings and joinery trims, giving decorators a practical finish for refurbishment, maintenance and new-build work. They are generally chosen for interior surfaces where a clean, consistent appearance is needed, with different options available depending on the room, surface condition and finish required.

Within our range, you can find emulsion paints for everyday decorating jobs, from refreshing occupied rooms to completing larger interior schemes. Choose the right product by checking the finish, colour, application guidance and suitability for the surface you are working on before ordering.

Typical uses

• Painting internal walls in homes, offices, rental properties and commercial spaces. 

• Finishing ceilings as part of wider decorating work, using suitable roller trays and kits. 

• Refreshing previously painted rooms after repairs, maintenance or fit-out work. 

• Applying colour after surface preparation with undercoat and primers. 

• Completing detail work around edges, corners and fixtures with suitable paint brushes. 

How to choose the right emulsion paints

• Match the paint finish to the room, such as matt, silk or other available options. 

• Check whether the paint is suitable for walls, ceilings or both.
