Armstead Trade Contract 

Key features:

  • high opacity
  • quick drying matt emulsion for both old and new surface areas
  • suitable for all normal interior wall and ceiling surfaces
  • ideal for new plaster
  • water based

"Opacity is good, in fact two coats on bare plaster should be ample. It doesn’t seem as porous as most contract matt emulsions either, so ease of use on the second coat is pretty good. The finish is nice and flat, and there is very little flashing."

Tip: As with any Contract Matt, it’s tends to be easier to use a long pile roller to apply.

"Great undercoat, dries quite fast compared to others which means you can get more done quicker. Great for stain blocking as well if you have time to wait for drying."

Tip: Recommended for use with Armstead Trade High Gloss where a durable high gloss system is required.
