If you've spent any time on decorating forums or trade groups, chances are you've heard Benjamin Moore mentioned more than once.
It's one of North America's most respected paint brands, known for producing premium products that focus on performance just as much as appearance.
Benjamin Moore isn't exactly a newcomer, either. The company dates back to 1883, when brothers Benjamin and Robert Moore opened a small paint business in Brooklyn, New York. More than 140 years later, the brand has earned a reputation for producing high-quality coatings that decorators trust to deliver both a great finish and long-lasting performance.
We're excited to say that Benjamin Moore is now available at Decorating Centre Online. While there are some fantastic products across the range, there's one that's already generating plenty of interest: Scuff-X.
But that's far from the only product worth knowing about.
While Benjamin Moore may be a household name across North America, it's still relatively new to many UK decorators. That's exactly why we wanted to take a closer look at some of the standout products in the Benjamin Moore range.

Benjamin Moore Scuff-X
Let's start with the one everyone seems to be talking about.
Scuff-X is a high-performance paint designed specifically for high-traffic areas. While most durable paints focus on being washable, Scuff-X takes things a step further by helping to resist scuffs before they become a problem.
If you've ever painted a corridor, stairwell, reception area, classroom, or commercial space, you'll know how quickly walls can start picking up marks. That's exactly what Scuff-X was developed to tackle.
Using patented scuff-resistant technology, it helps surfaces stay looking freshly decorated for longer, reducing the need for touch-ups and ongoing maintenance.
Key Product Benefits
- Exceptional scuff resistance
- Quick drying with a 2-3 hour recoat time
- Easy application by brush, roller, or spray
- Available in Matte, Eggshell, and Satin finishes
- Designed for demanding commercial and residential environments
For walls, Matte and Eggshell are usually the preferred choice, while Eggshell and Satin are ideal for woodwork and trim.
It's easy to see why it's become such a popular choice for schools, hospitals, hotels, gyms, and other busy spaces where durability really matters.

Benjamin Moore Ceiling Paint Ultra Flat
Ceilings can often highlight imperfections that go unnoticed elsewhere, especially in rooms with lots of natural light.

Benjamin Moore Aura Bath & Spa
Bathrooms and other high-moisture areas can be challenging environments for paint.
Aura Bath & Spa has been specifically formulated to cope with humidity while still delivering a beautiful matt finish.
It combines mould and mildew resistance with Benjamin Moore's Colour Lock technology, helping colours stay rich and vibrant for longer.
One of the biggest selling points is that it achieves this while maintaining a matt finish. Traditionally, decorators have often turned to higher-sheen products in humid spaces, but Aura Bath & Spa allows you to achieve a softer look without sacrificing performance.

- Optimised for humid environments
- Extreme hide for fewer coats
- Colour Lock Technology, no colour rub off
- Easy application & clean up

The Primers Worth Knowing About
Benjamin Moore also offers a couple of specialist primers that are well worth having on your radar.
Insl-X STIX Primer
If you've ever struggled to get paint to stick to a glossy or difficult surface, Insl-X STIX Primer is the product you'll want to know about.
Designed to bond to surfaces such as PVC, tile, glass, plastics, and previously painted glossy finishes, it provides exceptional adhesion without extensive preparation.
It's one of those problem-solving products that quickly earns its place in the van.
Key Product Features
- Strongly bonds to glossy surfaces
- Exceptional adhesion to difficult substrates
- Suitable for interior and exterior use
- Water-based clean-up

Peel Bonding Primer
Peel Bonding primer is designed for weathered surfaces where old coatings are starting to crack, chalk, or peel.
Rather than simply covering the problem, it helps bind unstable coatings together while creating a sound surface for painting.
It's particularly useful for exterior renovation work where a complete strip-back isn't always practical.
- Glues down and stops peeling paint
- Seals and prevents cracking
- Remains flexible and breathable over time
- Provides a mildew resistant coating

So, What Makes Benjamin Moore Different?
What stands out about Benjamin Moore is how purpose-built the range feels.
Rather than offering a one-size-fits-all solution, each product has been developed to excel in a specific area. Whether that's resisting scuffs, producing a furniture-quality finish, handling humid environments, or solving tricky preparation problems.
For many decorators, Scuff-X will probably be the first product they try, and for good reason. It's one of the most impressive durable coatings we've added to our range.
