The popular Albany AF1 Ceiling Paint is now even better. Designed specifically for the ‘5th wall’ in the home, the new and improved Albany AF1 Ceiling Paint brings performance upgrades you can genuinely feel while still delivering the flawless super flat matt finish decorators know and trust. Plus, AF1 is now available in a new 5L size, perfect for those smaller projects.

The new formula of Albany AF1 Ceiling Paint delivers a range of key improvements designed to make ceiling work quicker, cleaner and easier. It’s lighter to handle, features a non-spatter formula for tidier application, and has improved recoat times to help you move through jobs more efficiently. Performance through a sprayer has also been enhanced, delivering excellent results whether applying by brush, roller or spray.

With the upgrades, AF1 retains the same trusted qualities decorators rely on. Remaining a water-based ceiling coating packed with matting agents to help hide imperfections and reduce brush and roller marks, creating a smooth, consistent super flat matt finish with dependable anti-flashing performance.

Albany AF1 is the ultimate anti-flashing ceiling paint. Flashing is where, in certain lighting conditions or from certain angles, a painted surface appears to have patches of higher sheen, leaving an uneven finish.

Albany AF1 is specially formulated to avoid this, thanks to its super flat matt finish and ultra-low sheen, non-reflective properties, helping deliver a professional ceiling finish with no distractions.

We’re excited to introduce the brand new AF1 5L pack size, created in response to customer demand. It delivers all the performance and benefits of the 10L pack but easier for those smaller jobs with improved flexibility, easier lifting and more convenient storage.
