The frame is finished in a consistent satin white paint, which can evoke a sense of purity or innocence. Materials As your gaze moves from corner to edge-centre, the outer frame edges gracefully bow inward. This subtle curvature gives the mirror a smooth, flowing look that’s sure to please the eye. At the point where the bowing meets the edge-centre, you’ll discover a small, winged crest accent. This charming detail adds a ‘flighty’ spark of character that sets the Monksilver apart from other. OK, I know I said oil-based gloss turns yellow over time, and it does. But Crown Next Generation takes an awful long time to discolour. Available online, or any Crown Decorating Centre.
The Monksilver’s uniqueness lies in its pronounced floret accents found on all four corners. Delicate spruce leaf branches extend from these corner hallmarks, creating a harmonious blend of elegance and nature-inspired design. You need a natural bristle paintbrush to apply oil-based gloss, otherwise the paint will clog within half an hour or so. Your best bet is the Hamilton Perfection, which is an oil-school brush, but still a favourite amongst Decorators. You will be able to apply gloss paint and lay it off with ease. Available online here. As a decorator, the question “which is the best white gloss” comes up regularly. It used to be a simple choice, but now the range of gloss paint products are exponential. We’re not just talking about more brands (of which there are many), but there are also different types of gloss paint.

All our mirrors are crafted using quality materials and finished with excellent attention to detail. Allow us to introduce you to our most popular styles. You have the traditional oil-based gloss, which turns yellow over time. Water-based gloss, which stays white forever, but generally leaves a substandard finish. Then hybrid gloss, which is a compromise between oil and water.
It’s funny, a few years ago, Johnstone’s Aqua was widely regarded as the best white water-based gloss paint available. However, comparing it to the more modern Teknos Futura 90 just outlines its flaws. It is still good, but it’s harder to apply, can damage your brushes and turns yellow after a couple of years. The bevelled reflective glass panel sits inside of a frame comprised of a high quality casting resin, which makes up most of the structure of the frame including the embellished details. The resin is melded onto a hardwood base that sits encased in the resin towards the rear of the frame, to add further solidarity in its structural integrity.This gloss still looks brand new years after it has been applied. You may find it easier to apply the paint using a foam roller, then laying off with a brush. Keeping your brush wet, or even wiping your surfaces with a damp cloth before painting will help you avoid brush marks. Water-based gloss is harder to use (not levelling like oil-based gloss) but it won’t yellow with time, which is important for the client. One thing that is important for any decorator is drying time, and water-based gloss has a drying time of around 6 hours. This means you can put second coat on same day. It also doesn’t smell like solvent and finally, your brushes are easier to clean. Opacity of the gloss is poor. However, opacity of the primer makes up for it! You can apply multiple coats of either product in a day and the ease of use is brilliant. The best thing about Teknos Futura 90 is, unlike most other hybrid or water-based gloss paints, it has an incredibly high sheen level. It’s very durable too!!
