Farrow & Ball Full Gloss

Features & Benefits ‘ Water-based and Low VOC


Working on a property earlier in the year, the paint specified by the interior designer was Farrow and Ball Full Gloss. I was keen to try out the gloss as Farrow & Ball were an early adopter of water- based paints. Two large radiators were lightly sanded, washed with sugar soap and speed dried with


‘ Quick-drying - Two hour touch dry, recoat in four


‘ 132 colours with 95% sheen level ‘ Interior and exterior ‘ Washable and wipeable


power fans. I used a tinted adhesion primer (Zinsser 123 plus) and applied it with a 4in Two Fussy Blokes 10mm microfibre mini roller sleeve, before slightly thinning the paint and using the same roller washed out. It dried quickly and was touch dry in two hours, ready to recoat in four hours. The results


achieved were simply amazing! Easy to apply, excellent coverage and an incredible shine. I was very impressed with the paint. It’s washable and wipeable, suitable for prepared


interior and exterior wood, walls/ceilings and metal. It has a 95% sheen level that is very reflective and is available in the full range of 132 F&B colours. If applied following the instructions, the paint is resistant to water, flaking, peeling and colour fade for up to six years. After use, the great thing is you clean up your brushes and rollers in warm soapy water.

Heavy Duty E-Z Up Dust Containment Poles


Trimaco ® @TrimacoInc @Trimaco_inc www.trimaco.com


There is always a lot of dust in painting and decorating, which led me to be an early advocate of dust-free sanding. Even when not sanding though, there is still a lot of dust created when carrying out prep work – scraping, sawing or just general building work. So, being able to screen off sections of a property or office and contain dust is a real plus. Keeps me healthy and my clients happy and reduces clean up time. The Trimaco Heavy Duty E-Z Up


® Dust Containment Poles are a must-have addition to my decorating kit. The poles are


made from heavy-duty sturdy aluminium, but they are easy to use. They come in three different sizes, and even the longest doesn’t take up any space in the van. Trimaco E-Z Up Poles have three telescoping sections with approx.150mm (6in) adjustable increments accessed via the


bright yellow extender button. You press with your thumb, and listen for a ‘click’ to confirm its firmly located in the next corresponding position. The fold-away aluminium foot pedal allows for fine adjustment with a range from 75mm (3in) to 247mm (93


/4 in). Located at the top area is a quick clip (pictured left) with aluminium body and lever with black rubber buffer, this is


what clamps the plastic sheeting. Durable pivotable rubber grip pads at both ends allow for use on uneven floors or ceilings, with the bottom pad being able to rotate making it easier to use the foot pedal if used in awkward positions. A metal unlocking tab, also controlled by your foot, quickly releases for fast dismantling. You wrap your plastic sheet over the top grip pad using the quick clip to hold it, then, press and release the yellow


extender buttons until the pole reaches the ceiling. Press downwards on the spring-loaded foot pedal as many times as needed to get that perfect fit. To remove, press the unlocking tab with your foot.
