The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Blue is designed for interior design enthusiasts and homeowners looking to achieve a sophisticated, historical aesthetic on their walls. Its primary benefit is a distinctively chalky, matt finish that diffuses light to create depth in any room, though users should be aware that the matte surface can be more susceptible to scuffs compared to higher-sheen finishes.

This emulsion is intended for interior dry rooms. It is not recommended for high-humidity areas like kitchens or bathrooms where it may be exposed to moisture and frequent cleaning.
For full opacity and the best depth of color, two coats are generally recommended over a properly prepared surface.
Yes, thanks to the low VOC formula, the paint has a significantly reduced odor compared to traditional solvent-based paints.
Touch-ups can be difficult with matte finishes. It is best to keep a small amount of the original paint to dab onto affected areas, but be aware that it may be visible depending on the light.
The paint is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within a few hours depending on ambient temperature and humidity levels.
Ensure you maintain a wet edge during application and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.
This is often caused by porous surfaces; apply a base coat or primer to seal the wall properly before painting.
Because this is a chalky emulsion, use only a soft, slightly damp cloth with no chemical cleaners to maintain the finish.
Before application, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over porous surfaces, use a suitable primer to ensure the paint adheres evenly. Apply in temperatures between 10C and 25C for the best finish. For care, avoid harsh scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as the matte finish can become burnished. If marks occur, use a damp, soft cloth to gently blot the area rather than rubbing aggressively.
