Velvet Matt Premium Paint

The key difference between regular emulsion and premium paints like Dulux Heritage is their performance and quality. While standard emulsion paints may require multiple coats for an even finish, premium emulsion provides better coverage with fewer coats due to its higher-quality, more opaque pigments.

As premium paint is made with superior ingredients, it is also more durable, self-undercoating, fade-resistant, and washable, making it a worthwhile investment as it lasts longer and requires less maintenance. Additionally, many premium wall paints are eco-friendly, as they meet strict environmental standards and have lower VOC levels due to their water-based formula.

Dulux Heritage is a premium, water-based paint range featuring 112 timeless colours. The collection is divided into pale, mid, deep tones, and whites, all carefully curated to complement one another.

Each paint is offered in a velvet matt and eggshell finish. Eggshell is ideal for metal and wooden surfaces, such as doors, pipes, skirting boards, and decorative mouldings, while velvet matt is designed for interior walls and ceilings, providing even, pigmented coverage and a luxurious feel.

Although Dulux Heritage comes at a higher price point than standard emulsion, we can confidently answer the question, "Is Dulux Heritage paint good?" – yes! Nearly all Dulux Heritage colours have received 4 or 5-star reviews on our site, and decorators frequently recommend it on forums. This range is known for its high pigmentation, low odour, and ease of application with either a brush or paint roller.
