Dulux Durable Flat Matt Vs Crown Clean Extreme

[@mrg2384]

Hi Daniel good review yet again, I went of vinyl matt as well, I use clean extreme or macphersons acrylic durable, any colours mixed, f&b, little green, Dulux, crown, I pay £50 all in for clean extreme, £33 for the macs durable. Keep up the good work. Oh by the way have you tried tikurila mirranol iam thinking of trying it a customer wants some wardrobes painting but in a gloss finish I will use the otex as the base.

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Fantastic. Not tried Mirinol but my mate has and said uts a real high gloss finish almost like glass

[@mrg2384]

@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 Thanks Daniel for reply I shall try it.

Hi can i use this over sanded gloss wooden surfaces for bathroom condensation & moisture?

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

I'd use Tikkurila Luja7 for a bathroom it's the best anti mould moisture paint

[@bsfbestshortfilmsonyoutube]

@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 thanks. i will research it now. 👍

Hello, I have been using the Crown clean extreme this weekend, very nice to use and goes on well. Like all paints though speed is or the essence to avoid picture framing.

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Dulux Diamond Matt is bad for it. I use Tikkurila High Performance Vinyl Matt now as it's a class 2 scrub rating and is thick and luxurious. Almost covers in one and comes in 9 litres and can be colour mixed into other manufacturers

[@chrisn5882]

Hi Daniel. Love the light grey .what shade is it please and what make ? Great video as always. Thanks

[@danielnugent2168]

Cheers mate. The colour is Dulux White Mist

[@chrisn5882]

Thankyou

[@solb101]

Have you tried Crown Easy Clean yet?

[@danielnugent2168]

No mate. Is that the DIY version of Clean Extreme

[@solb101]

I guess so but not sure how it would compare to the trade paint. The Dulux flat Matt sounds interesting but someone mentioned in the comments that it’s not washable. Sounds a bit odd for a durable Matt. Maybe it leaves a sheen after cleaning?

[@danielnugent2168]

Hi mate I’m based in Milton Keynes, is there a place around here you recommend as I’m new to the area. Great videos!

[@MarcGray1990]

I find both durable flat Matt and even their diamond Matt a quality paint…. Durable flat definitely more suited to older houses with that lovely chalky finish which can be quite similar to older type paints. I find with the diamond of you roll your cut ins with a 4 inch it helps not to get the picture framing. Obviously takes a tad longer but would always do this with deeper colours. Take care. Marc

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Great tip. I need to speak to Dulux about the Scuffshield Matt and see if they can do that cheaper. It's not long been out and I'm wondering if it would replace Diamond

[@MarcGray1990]

@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 I’ve got a £50 off voucher for that I need to use…. So your £80 odd a tin becomes mega cheap. Problem is it’s only for the white and it’s only in 5L.

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

@@MarcGray1990 that's a start anyway. Honestly Crowns know the score and how they have to move with the times as alot of decorators have moved over to Tikkurila and Isomat.

[@MarcGray1990]

@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 true mate and everything always changes in price and the formula of the paint itself…. You start to get on with one thing then it changes. Can be a nightmare to keep up!

Hello m8. I wanna paint white room but wall is dark grey so witch one is best can use top of dark grey ? Thank you.

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

@@claresavas9447 mate. I would use a primer first before putting the white on. I would use an Optiva Primer by Tikkurila but you can use any obliterating matt first. I think Crown Clean Extreme has better coverage than Dulux flat matt

[@KINNELLCOD]

Nice video mate. The flat Matt is a nice finish but that’s it,same finish as F&B Estate emulsion in my opinion If a customer wants a durable finish that is cleanable and able to be scrubbed then the flat Matt is not the one. The clean extreme is a nice drop. Still won’t beat tikki in my eyes though however recently just started using Caparol and it’s a quality drop too.

[@f10italia]

What is the best durable/scrubbable paint out there for opacity, finish, ease of application?

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

I like Tikkurila High Performance Vinyl Matt Very opaque and class 2 scrub rating

[@wibbsy17]

great reveiw quick question did you water down each coat

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Not now days. Just straight on

[@matthewtibbles7774]

Just used about 15l of diamond matt pbw on a staircase and took 3 coats and even then was still grinning in a few places. Tried the crown a few years ago and had the same problem, not with colours though

[@Avital4414]

When you get Benjamin Moore Scuff-X in the UK, that’s the paint for stairwells/staircases.

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Yes I think the plain white off the shelf is always that bit weaker but it's hard to know what to do. Crown now have the actual formula for F&B as they own them now. It's about availability and getting the colour match spot on. I feel they are all pretty much the same but I have been caught out before with colour matches being well out so on this particular job the customer specified Dulux so didn't want to take that chance.

[@wayneclarke4083]

Hi, what Paint would you recommend for a kitchen??

[@danielnugent2168]

Hi. Any durable matt or eggshell. Soft sheen or mid sheen. But I prefer any brand of durable matt like Optiva 5 by Tikkurila or Clean Extreme by Crown.

[@Messimagician83]

Does clean extreme matt leave a sheen after scrubbing it and does it protect against grease? Also what would you recommend for ceilings in kitchen and bathrooms?

[@sproutyDP]

Do you thin the Clean Extreme? I found it needed it but i'm a joiner not a painter! Put Magnolia on top of Leyland Magnolia that was put on 8 years ago.

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Clean Extreme has the best scrubbable rating out of all of them.

[@bitTorrenter]

Johnstone's offer Endura Super Durable as well as Cleanable Matt both of which have a 10,000 Scrub rating. So Crown don't have a monolopy here as they'd like you to think.

[@Messimagician83]

Can you paint straight over contract matt with crown clean extreme or do you need an acrylic primer to go over it first? At the moment we have nearly every wall in contract matt

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

All good to just go over. As long as the contract matt isn't peeling

[@Messimagician83]

@@danielnugentpainteranddeco557 Thank you

[@justvandalize1]

Did you try to test with a cloth the durable can it be wiped ? Have a hallway to do

[@danielnugent2168]

Hi. I've tested the other day when I did one wall in wallpaper and had to wipe off all the paste each end. All looked good and dried nice without staining or colour loss

[@0skar9193]

I wonder if the change in Tikkurila is due to the recent take over by PPG - judging how cr@p johno's trade have been over the last couple of years (personal experience) I wouldn't be surprised.

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

I would say so. At the top of every paint manufacturer chain are all run by Pharmaceutical companies. Taking over the world mate

[@0skar9193]

I'm a bit disappointed with Tikkurila, switched to them about 12 months ago, really good products. As you say really popular now and shortages in general not help, now they say AR2 is going up 12%!!!! All other paints 9.5%. Ouch! Saying that the other brands will now doubt rise also.

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Mate tell me about it as I've based all my prices next year on old paint prices. Crowns have been brilliant as they want the business

[@callumpainterNE]

Has anyone used tikkurila optiva 5 in white?, got a job that is all white anyway but customer is wanting a durable matt, I've used optiva colours but not the white. Just wanting to know what the coverage is like and the finish thanks

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Hi mate I've used it loads and in kitchens and bathrooms. Customers give me feedback on how great the marks come off when scrubbed. It usually goes in two coats but sometimes I've just rolled a third coat just for the opaque reasons. Great gear.

[@callumpainterNE]

Appreciate the reply buddy. Yeah I'll be doing white on white so only really priced for 2 coats and I'm worried about using optiva white as I've not used it before but was a toss up between clean extreme and that for a full house. Again thanks for speedy reply

[@geordiemod4149]

Dulux Retail do a easy care range, which I find good too 👍👍I do like the crown too

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

Both are spot on. Hard to choose. I suppose Dulux have the better colour range but Crown have the best scanner to match other brands

[@peakyparttimers9362]

The crown is good but i always use valspar premium gold tin. Just preference and value for money.

[@danielnugentpainteranddeco557]

That's great gear but to get to the local B&Q in my area is like sitting on the M25 in traffic always gridlocked. Lol

Dulux and Crown are the same company!

Wow. I didn't know that Must be some pharmaceutical company owns it all

Since 2008, they are not owned by the same company, they are separate companies now. Due to monopoly concerns, the EU made sure of that.
