Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is designed for homeowners and professional decorators seeking a sophisticated, ultra-matt finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit lies in its exceptional coverage and quick-drying, low-VOC formulation, which creates a durable, high-end aesthetic while maintaining indoor air quality; however, users should note that the chalky finish is slightly more prone to scuffing than standard silk or gloss finishes in high-traffic areas.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

Due to its chalky matt finish, it is generally better suited for living areas and bedrooms rather than high-moisture zones like kitchens or bathrooms.

How many coats are typically required?

While the coverage is excellent, two full coats are recommended to achieve a perfectly uniform depth of color.

Does this paint require a specific primer?

A standard high-quality water-based primer is compatible, especially for fresh plaster or significantly contrasting base colors.

Is it safe for use in children's rooms?

Yes, its low VOC formulation makes it a safer option for indoor environments compared to traditional high-VOC alternatives.

How long should I wait between coats?

While it is fast-drying, it is best to allow at least 2-4 hours between coats depending on the ambient temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks or roller streaks.

Ensure you are using the correct quality of tool and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to level properly.

Paint not sticking to the wall.

Check that the surface was thoroughly cleaned of dust and grease prior to painting; porous surfaces may require an additional coat of primer.

Uneven finish or 'flashing'.

This often occurs due to uneven drying; avoid over-spreading the paint and ensure an even application thickness across the entire wall.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Delivers a high-end, classic chalky matt aesthetic.
Fast drying time allows for efficient project turnaround.
Low VOC formulation makes it more comfortable to use indoors.
Strong opacity helps achieve consistent color in fewer coats.

Cons

Not recommended for high-traffic hallways where scuff resistance is a priority.
The ultra-matt texture can be harder to wipe clean than shiny finishes.
2.5L tin size may require multiple units for large open-plan spaces.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. For best results on bare surfaces, apply a suitable primer to create a uniform base. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile microfiber roller for an even finish. During application, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of pigments. To clean up, wash tools with warm, soapy water immediately after use. For long-term care, avoid abrasive cleaning products on the dry paintwork to preserve the integrity of the chalky finish; instead, use a soft, damp cloth for spot cleaning.
