Plascon Double Velvet gives your interior walls a luxurious look and feel that is easy to keep clean and beautiful, even in your most lived-in rooms. The formulation contains a unique multi-layered protective coating to keep dirt from penetrating the paint.

Double Velvet is also Breatheasy - this means it has almost no odour, and the short-term eye, nose and throat irritations and headaches that often result from breating in paint vapours are drastically minimised. Just another way that South Africa's leading premium-quality paint continues to meet international standards.
