The Paint & Paper Library Range
Walls and Ceilings
Paint & Paper Library Pure Flat Emulsion is an ultra-flat, soft matt finish designed to bring out the depth and character of the colour. It suits bedrooms, living rooms and other lower-traffic areas where finish is the priority.
Paint & Paper Library Architects’ Matt is a more durable matt for walls and ceilings, with greater resistance to scuffs and marks. It’s the practical choice for busier areas such as hallways, kitchens and bathrooms.
Woodwork and Metalwork
Paint & Paper Library Architects’ Eggshell is a low-sheen finish for woodwork and surfaces that need a durable, wipeable coat, including areas where condensation is a concern.
Paint & Paper Library Architects’ Satin gives you a harder-wearing finish with a little more sheen for doors, skirting, windows and furniture.
Paint & Paper Library Architects’ Gloss is a high-shine finish for woodwork, furniture and metalwork where you want a polished look.
Primer
Paint & Paper Library Architects’ All Surface Primer is a water-based primer and undercoat for a range of surfaces, tinted to suit your chosen topcoat. Use it on bare or problem surfaces, or where you’re covering a strong existing colour. Check the data sheet for the recommended topcoat match.
Colour and Samples
Paint & Paper Library’s Architectural colours are arranged in graduated families, so you can step from lighter to darker versions of the same shade across walls, ceilings, woodwork and architectural detail. The palette also includes a set of more distinctive Original colours. Colour can look very different under natural and artificial light, so test your shade in situ before committing to a full job.
Why Decorators Choose Paint & Paper Library
Professionals choose Paint & Paper Library for a palette that’s designed to work as a system, with related shades that sit naturally together across a scheme. The brand’s finishes cover walls, woodwork and exteriors, so you can keep colour and look consistent across a whole job from a single range. Many designers and architects specify it by name, so being able to supply it matters when you’re working to a brief.
