A Deep Dive into Farrow & Ball Dead Flat

With Dead Flatyou can effortlessly transform an entire room, all with just one finish. For the rooms that get more than their share of mucky shoes, muddy paws and grubby hands, Farrow & Ball provide the ultra-durable paint solution.

It’s multi-surface for walls, woodwork and metal. So, you can spend less time masking areas, cutting in and switching between different finishes.

This makes Dead Flat the ultimate choice for colour drenching, the decorating technique that keeps on growing in popularity.

The refined formula also makes application easier than ever, boasting exceptional coverage, opacity and hiding power even with just one coat — although correct preparation is always key and two coats are recommended for full depth of colour.

With Dead Flat you won’t be wasting time on coat after coat, with projects taking longer than planned.

The formula is also easy to apply by brush, roller or airless sprayer and isn’t too thick, creating an excellent flow that won’t leave brush or roller marks.

This also allows for touch-ups, minimises splatter and reduces the chance of picture framing. It’s never been easier to create a flawless finish fast.

The most matt Farrow & Ball finish, Dead Flat has just a 2% sheen from every angle.

Without any light bounce to distract the eye, this makes rich Farrow & Ball colours look even richer, for the ultimate aesthetic.

At the same time, it also helps conceal imperfections on the underlying surface.

Dead Flat is impressively durable, making it the ideal choice for busy family homes.
