Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a professional-grade, matt aesthetic on interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is a highly pigmented, sophisticated depth of colour that provides excellent coverage for a refined home finish. While it offers superior quality and a quick-drying formula, users should note that the chalky finish requires careful application to ensure a uniform appearance across large surfaces.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

No, this is a standard interior emulsion and is not designed to withstand the high levels of moisture and humidity found in kitchens and bathrooms.

How many coats are typically required?

While it depends on the existing wall colour and porosity, two coats are usually sufficient to achieve a full, uniform finish.

Can I use this on wood or metal?

No, the 1829 Chalky Emulsion is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings, not for wood or metal trim.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within 1-2 hours depending on room temperature and humidity.

Is the finish washable?

As a chalky matt finish, it is delicate. It can be wiped gently with a soft, damp cloth, but it is not intended for heavy scrubbing.

Do I need a primer?

A primer is recommended if the surface is porous, such as fresh plaster, or if you are covering a very dark colour with a lighter one.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven after drying

This often occurs if the surface was not primed correctly. Ensure the wall is uniform in porosity before applying a second coat.

Visible roller marks

Ensure you are using the correct roller nap for the surface texture and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to level properly.

Paint is flaking or peeling

This is typically caused by application over a dusty or greasy surface. Scrape back the loose paint, clean the surface thoroughly, and re-prime before repainting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a smooth, high-quality matt aesthetic
  • Excellent opacity reduces total paint consumption
  • Fast drying time speeds up project turnaround
  • Low VOC formula improves indoor air quality during and after painting
  • Sophisticated colour depth creates a premium look

Cons

  • Matt finishes can be more susceptible to burnishing if scrubbed aggressively
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens
  • Chalky texture may show surface imperfections if the wall is not properly sanded

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure optimal performance, start by ensuring all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over new plaster, apply a mist coat first. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed. Application can be done via brush, roller, or spray. For cleaning, use a damp cloth to gently wipe away dust; avoid heavy scrubbing as the matt finish can lose its integrity. Store the container in a cool, dry place away from frost and keep the lid tightly sealed when not in use.
