Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and decorators seeking a durable, washable, and low-odor paint for interior walls and ceilings, particularly in high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms. The key benefit is its robust finish that withstands frequent cleaning and resists mould. A caveat is its specific color, Skimming Stone, which is a warm light grey that may not suit all design palettes. Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion offers a versatile and resilient coating, characterized by its water-based formulation, low VOC content, and exceptional durability.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven after one coat.

Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks.

Gently use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid excessive scrubbing or harsh cleaning agents that could damage the finish.

Mould is still appearing on surfaces.

Ensure the area is well-ventilated. While the paint is mould-resistant, persistent severe mould issues may require addressing underlying dampness or ventilation problems.

Paint has a strong odour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or imperfections. Prime bare plaster or new surfaces with a suitable Farrow & Ball primer. For previously painted surfaces, use a Farrow & Ball appropriate undercoat if necessary, especially when changing colours significantly.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Typically, two coats are recommended for best coverage and colour depth. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: This Modern Emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for use on exterior surfaces, floors, or high-gloss trim.

Care: To clean, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soap and water. For tougher marks, a slightly more abrasive sponge can be used gently. Avoid harsh detergents or abrasive cleaners, as these may damage the finish.
