Little Greene - paint with English quality

English paints Little Greene for several centuries continue to please its customers with quality and deep color. The company has been operating since 1773, and to date its success consists of many years of experience, traditional materials and modern technologies.

Characteristics of Little Greene materials

The paint of this manufacturer is different in quality and safety. To create it, only the best raw materials are used. So for the production of oil paints only vegetable oils of natural origin are used. And in aqueous paints the amount of volatile organic compounds is much less than that required by regulatory documents.

The paint is suitable for home and professional use. It can be applied to all kinds of linings, previously painted surfaces, wood (even fresh) and joinery. The material is absorbed into the surface, forming a strong and resistant coating that does not peel and does not crack with time.

The painted surface is resistant to ultraviolet light. It is easy to care for, it can withstand wet cleaning (most species). The appearance of mold and fungus is also hindered by the paint of Little Greene.

Reviews about the materials of this company are positive. The only nuance is that the paint consumption in practice does not always match the claimed manufacturer. But it mostly depends on the porosity of the surface to be painted.

Benefits

The material has a good covering power. Thanks to this, the paint can be applied in several thin layers without the formation of streaks and sagging.

Used Little Greene (paint), even in children's rooms. For this, some of its types are issued with certificates that certify that the material meets the safety requirements for children. And all production in general is completely based on European standards. In support of this, the company also has certificates.

Producers are also interested in environmental issues. All packaging for products is made from recycled materials and, in turn, can also be sent for recycling.

Palette of colors

Decorative paints Little Greene are produced using modern and traditional pigments. Their volume is on average 40 percent more than that of other manufacturers. This gives the material an unusual depth and saturation. When the lighting changes, the shade of the paint changes. This gives a peculiar character to the painted surfaces.

• The Colors of England or in the translation of "the color of England".
