Why enamel paint is the right choice
Enamel paints are specifically formulated for surfaces that experience frequent contact and everyday wear, including doors, windows, architraves, skirting boards and trim. Unlike standard interior or exterior wall paints, enamels deliver a harder, more durable finish that is better equipped to resist knocks, scuffs and cleaning.
Dulux® Aquanamel® features Smoothflow™ Technology to help achieve a smooth, clean finish while providing the convenience of a water-based formula with low odour and easy water wash-up.
