Product Information

Full details

This Farrow & Ball Estate emulsion paint in Purbeck Stone is ideal for homeowners seeking a sophisticated, matte finish for interior walls and ceilings in low-traffic areas. Its key benefit is the chalky, deep colour that beautifully hides imperfections and scatters light for a richer hue. A caveat is its suitability for low-traffic areas only, as it is not as durable as modern emulsions.

FAQs

What is the coverage of a 2.5L tin?

A 2.5L tin of Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion covers approximately 35m² on average, depending on the surface porosity and application method.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

No, this Estate Emulsion is best suited for low-traffic areas. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion is a more durable and washable alternative.

How do I clean marks off the wall?

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to gently wipe away marks. Avoid scrubbing or using strong cleaning agents, which can damage the matte finish.

What kind of finish does Purbeck Stone Matt Emulsion have?

It has a chalky, matte finish that scatters light, giving colours a rich depth and velvety appearance.

Is the paint safe for children and pets?

Yes, the formulation is water-based, low in VOCs, and almost odourless, making it safe for use in homes with children and pets.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

Two coats are generally recommended for best results, providing optimal coverage and colour depth. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, provided they are properly prepared and primed.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour or patchiness

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush strokes, maintaining a wet edge. Check that the surface was properly prepared and primed if necessary. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

Paint not adhering well

The surface may not have been properly cleaned or prepared. Ensure it is free from dust, grease, and old, flaking paint. Use an appropriate primer if painting over new plaster, stained surfaces, or dark colours.

Difficulty in achieving a smooth finish

Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for matte emulsions. Apply paint in consistent, overlapping strokes. Avoid over-spreading the paint thinly. Ensure sufficient paint is loaded onto the applicator.

  • Environmentally friendly formulation.
  • Safe for use in homes with children and pets.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. Prime new plaster or walls with a suitable Farrow & Ball primer/undercoat. For previously painted surfaces, use the appropriate Farrow & Ball undercoat for your existing colour.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for best coverage and colour depth. Allow adequate drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours).

Compatibility: This Estate Emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings in low-traffic areas. It is not recommended for high-moisture environments (like bathrooms) or areas prone to heavy wear and tear. It is water-based.

Care: To clean, use a soft, damp cloth. Gently wipe away marks. Avoid using harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these can damage the delicate matte finish.
