The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Cream is an ideal choice for homeowners and interior designers looking to achieve a sophisticated, historical aesthetic on interior walls and ceilings. This premium emulsion is celebrated for its distinctive chalky texture and smooth matte finish, which brings depth to any room. While it provides excellent coverage and a low-VOC formulation for healthier indoor air, users should note that the matte finish is more delicate than high-sheen alternatives, requiring careful handling in high-traffic areas.

No, this Chalky Emulsion is not recommended for high-humidity environments like bathrooms or kitchens as the matte finish may absorb moisture.
We recommend two coats for the best color depth and finish, especially when painting over a contrasting color.
Yes, its low-VOC formulation makes it a better choice for indoor spaces where air quality is a priority.
Since this is a water-based emulsion, you can clean your brushes thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after use.
This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It is not intended for wood or metal trim.
Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and applying the paint in a 'W' or 'M' pattern to maintain a wet edge.
Check that the surface was properly cleaned and primed. Peeling often results from painting over loose dust or non-compatible existing paint.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred from the bottom of the can before application to redistribute settled pigments.
Before applying the paint, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting onto new or porous plaster, apply a suitable mist coat or primer first to prevent uneven absorption. For maintenance, treat the surfaces gently; because this is a flat, matte finish, avoid aggressive scrubbing as it may burnish the surface. To remove light marks, use a soft, damp cloth and dab the area lightly rather than rubbing. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out between projects.
