Our Garden Room, over the last three days, have been painted with various layers of white emulsion. The bottom (first) coat was using a cheap B&Q matt emulsion as the primer. Then yesterday and today the ceiling had two coats of Absolute White from Dulux and the walls had one coat of Dulux Brilliant Matt White. Tomorrow these walls will have their final Dulux Vinyl Silk Brilliant White coat.

The WC had a slightly different treatment. First of all, we applied a fine surface paste supplied by Fermacell, designed to fill in the micro pits in the surface of the Fermacell boards. We then gently rubbed down the surfaces using 300grit sandpaper which gave us a smooth finish. Then we painted the same B&Q white emulsion but using a pad instead of a roller for a smoother finish. Again the surface was gently sanded to produce a nicely smooth finish. Yesterday and today we put on two coats of a special Dulux DiamondHard Moisture Resistance White emulsion which offers a much tougher surface, up to 10 times harder than standard emulsion. We will put on one more coat tomorrow.

The ceiling has come out very well indeed. Our second attempt at putting up the ceiling using Fermacell panels but this time, we tongue and grooved the edges to align the joints and it worked!
