Product Information
Full details
The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a professional-grade, sophisticated matt finish for interior walls. Its primary benefit is a high-opacity, quick-drying formula that produces a beautiful, velvety texture, making it an excellent choice for living spaces and bedrooms. Note that while the finish is durable, it is specifically formulated for interior use and may require additional coats for darker color transitions.

FAQs
Can I use this paint in a bathroom?
This paint is designed for standard interior walls. It is not specifically formulated for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens.
How many coats do I need?
Generally, two coats are sufficient for full opacity, though a third coat may be needed if painting over a drastically different color.
Is this paint washable?
The chalky emulsion offers a durable finish, but it is best suited for low-to-medium traffic areas rather than high-scrub surfaces.
Does this product require a primer?
A primer is recommended for new or porous surfaces like raw plaster to ensure consistent absorption and finish.
How do I clean my brushes after use?
Since it is a water-based emulsion, you can clean your brushes and rollers using warm water and a small amount of mild detergent.
Troubleshooting
Visible brush marks or roller streaks
Ensure you are using a high-quality applicator and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to level correctly.
Paint not adhering well to the wall
Check that the surface was properly cleaned and primed. If the wall is chalky or dusty, a coat of suitable primer is necessary before the emulsion.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Delivers a luxurious, high-end matt appearance
- Environmentally conscious low VOC formulation
- Reduces visible wall imperfections
- Fast drying time for efficient project turnaround
Cons
- Primarily limited to interior applications
- May require extra primer on porous surfaces
- Large 5L tin size may be too much for minor touch-ups
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free of loose debris. If applying to bare plaster, a mist coat is recommended. For best results, stir the paint thoroughly before use. The paint is compatible with most standard interior primers. Store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed after every use to prevent skinning. Clean brushes and rollers immediately with warm soapy water to maintain tool longevity.
