Distemper (distemper)
For mineral substrates or clay plaster indoors, there is the breathable Distemper from Little Greene. This is a traditional, decorative paint for interior ceilings and walls made from lime and linseed oil. It's super beautiful, breathable and just like it used to be. But as I said, they need a suitable surface. If in doubt, we also advise you to ask your painter. The application requires a bit of specialist knowledge. Not available in all colors and only available to order. Delivery time 1-2 weeks. But very important: This product must be processed within 2 weeks. In principle it lasts longer, but the color starts to change.

Intelligent Masonry Paint (facade finish paint)
For exterior walls there is Masonry Paint - a facade paint. It is a 100% acrylic paint (house paint) that only has 5% gloss, so it is matt. Your house will become a real English jewel. Note: Because there is UV light outdoors, colors look different than indoors where there is artificial light. Please keep this in mind when choosing colors, which are best suited to the outside. Masonry Paint is available in almost all colors. We advise you to call in an expert painter for processing. Here too, you need a suitable surface to which the paint can be applied.

Intelligent ASP (primer)
This is almost a magic primer. It is suitable for all Little Greene paints. Inside and outside. It was developed by Little Greene in 2019 and greatly improves adhesion on many surfaces. The primer is water-based, but is also the right primer for Little Greene's oil-based paints. So it is a universal primer, but it contains very high-quality materials. With us you can get the primer pre-tinted in your desired color. This means the final color comes out even better

Wall primer sealer
If you have a wall that has been newly filled with dispersion putty or plaster and has dried, then this is the right primer to prepare it for painting with Absolut Matt Emulsion or Intelligent Matt Emulsion. The adhesion is improved, the absorbency is reduced and the color comes out even better. This primer is also suitable for preparing the exterior facade paint. Not for lime or silicate substrates. Water based.

Aluminum primer undercoat
Used to prepare wood with knots. The Intelligent All Surface Primer is not enough. For all Little Greene paints inside and outside. Attention: oil based. Background: There is natural lignin in knots, which leads to color changes in the paint. Without this primer, over time you will get yellow spots that come out of the knots. The Aluminum Wood Primer blocks this. You need it especially for spruce and pine. As a rule, do not use beech because there are no knots. Then use Intelligent All Surface Primer from Little Greene.
