Doors, Windows and Trims Project
Refreshing the doors, windows and trim in a room can give it a new lease on life. In high traffic areas especially, a repaint can really transform the room, giving it a clean, crisp finish. Enamel paint is the best choice, as it breathes new life into old doors, windows and trim by giving it a durable, long lasting finish.

Choosing the gloss level
When deciding on what paint to use, we recommend Dulux Aquanamel®. Not only does it have a smooth flow technology for a smooth finish, it also is a water-based paint for an easier clean up versus oil-based enamel paints. When you are choosing this paint it is important to consider the type of finish you want:
Gloss: Achieves a highly reflective finish that gives a much more intense look. It is recommended for high traffic areas as it is very durable and easy to wash. Typically a more traditional finish.
Semi gloss: Provides a glossy finish, but not as brilliant as a gloss. It offers good stain resistance, is durable and is easy to wash. Semi gloss is more popular in contemporary styled rooms and homes.
Gloss
Achieve a bold, highly reflective finish that's perfect for traditional homes and feature details. Dulux® Aquanamel® Gloss offers excellent dirt and stain resistance together with a tough, hard-wearing finish that's easy to keep clean, making it ideal for doors, windows and trim.
Semi gloss
Provides a smooth finish with a softer level of sheen than Gloss. Tough and hard wearing with excellent dirt and stain resistance, it's ideal where a more seamless transition from wall to trim is desired in contemporary interiors and exteriors.
Low gloss
For interior use only, offering a subtle finish with reduced reflectance while still delivering the durability needed for doors, windows and trim. Ideal for achieving a softer overall aesthetic and coordinating with lower sheen wall finishes.
