9 Ways FLOETROL Could Benefit You.

No, you won''t need to use Floetrol every day of the week, but you would be very surprised at the big number of applications where it will save you lots of time, and some serious grief.

There is no such thing as the ''perfect paint'' that ''behaves properly'' on every occasion. Depending on your working conditions, warm, cool, windy etc your emulsions or masonry paints behave in different ways. Floetrol is designed to adjust your paint to suit those conditions to enable you get the very best out of your paint.

Why can''t I add some water like I always did?
You can and it''s free for the most part but, water actually thins the paint and reduces its hiding power, (in many cases making extra coats necessary) quality and longevity.

If you are a professional painter / decorator it can make you some very handy money on time and labour saved!

100% of professional painters / decorators are totally sceptical about Floetrol 100% of the time when they first hear about it...fact! Yet, when a pro painter discovers Floetrol by trying it out and gets the amazing ''feel'' and sees the finish acheived and so much time saved...he/ she becomes, and remains a total fanatical convert.
(See comments from the Pro''s below)

Here are its Main Uses and Benefits.

Great for water based gloss.

Keeps the "wet edge" open longer to give perfect finish every time, great on "warm" ceilings, drywall.

Available in 1, 2.5 and 15 litres

Makes roller or brush glide with no tedious drag or effort leaving an enviable finish every time!

Great for cutting in.

Recommended when spraying emulsions etc through all hand electric sprayguns like Wagner etc..

Floetrol is Superb for Painting Special Effects / Faux

This is an area where you can really let your creativity run wild.

Anything is possible, such as breathing new life into an otherwise dead room, or even doing up old furniture to match this or that.

With a little bit of practice and a few very simple tools, you too can design your own masterpiece, be the envy of your friends while adding value and beauty to your home.

With faux finishing techniques you can do all this and more.

Faux is a carry over from the French expression meaning "false"
Decorative painting is the more commonly known term.

This decorating technique has been around for a long time.

Faux finishes, as they are described, can be applied using different techniques such as "sponging" for giving a deep textured rich look to walls, ceilings, or furniture; "ragging" where a crumpled rag is used for soft and delicate effects as a backdrop for furniture or artwork; "combing" for subtle contrasting lines; "marbling" for a distinctive appeal with a luxurious feeling; or "woodgraining" to create the rich patterns and colours of fine wood, without the high price- tag.

Much cheaper to use than glaze / scumble etc
