Our Water Based Gloss has a sheen of 80% and is suitable for use on all interior woodwork and metalwork, including radiators.  This environmentally friendly, water based eggshell is solvent free, non yellowing and water thinnable.  It is a quick drying eggshell paint made with plant oils, minerals, natural pigments and bound with a novel, semi-natural binder called Decovery.   We declare all the ingredients used to make this eggshell which is effectively VOC free and so the lowest VOC rating of any eggshell.  Edward Bulmer Water Based Gloss is not super high gloss.

The ideal complement to our natural emulsion wall paint.  Edward Bulmer Water Based Gloss will create an ultra modern shiny surface highly reflective to light but it is also robust enough to withstand the rigours of modern living, so you can wipe off those finger prints.

How much paint do I need?

We have created this calculator to help you estimate the amount of paint you will need for your project. Please note that this is only an estimate, based on normal surfaces with two coats of paint.

Please check our practical painting advice - if you are painting onto a very absorbent surface, you may need more paint, and for best results, you may need to prime your surfaces.

If you end up with any leftover paint, get inspired with ways to use any excess paint - it's even compostable!

What are you painting?

Estimated
Painted Wall/Ceiling Area

Our natural matt emulsion is perfect for interior walls and ceilings.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on the dimensions of your room, minus the space taken by average doors and windows.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.

Estimated
Woodwork Area

Our water based eggshell or gloss is ideal for woodwork or metalwork.

0 litres

0 m2

This estimate is based on skirting and the doors/windows you tell us about. 1 litre should cover 2-3 doors or 20m of skirting.

For this area, we suggest would be adequate.
