Its signature blend of crushed Carrara marble provides exceptional breathability and a luxurious matte look, making it ideal for high-traffic areas like kitchens and hallways.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While the paint is breathable and durable, it is best suited for dry living areas. For areas with constant direct water exposure, please consult the product range for specific moisture-resistant options.

How many coats do I need?

Two coats are typically recommended to achieve the full depth of color and the intended marble-matte finish.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Yes, this formula is excellent for ceilings, providing a subtle, sophisticated matte finish that hides surface imperfections well.

Is the finish completely flat?

It is a marble-matt finish, which is a very low-sheen matte that provides a soft, luxurious look rather than a dead-flat, light-absorbing appearance.

How do I remove scuff marks?

Use a soft, damp cloth or a non-abrasive sponge with mild soapy water to gently wipe the affected area.

Does it have a strong odor?

As a low-VOC, water-based paint, it has a minimal scent compared to solvent-based alternatives, making it more comfortable to use indoors.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks during application

Ensure the roller is fully loaded with paint and use lighter pressure to allow the paint to level naturally as it dries.

Paint not covering the previous color

Apply a high-quality primer or undercoat first, especially if transitioning from a dark color to this light, delicate shade.

Finish looks patchy

Ensure the wall surface is properly primed and sealed, as uneven porosity in the wall can lead to irregular drying and appearance.

Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For optimal results, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease before application. If applying over fresh plaster, a suitable mist coat or primer is recommended to ensure even adhesion.

  • Tools: Use a synthetic-bristle brush for edges and a medium-pile microfiber roller for larger surfaces.
  • Conditions: Apply in well-ventilated areas where the room temperature is above 10°C.
  • Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.
  • Storage: Keep the lid tightly sealed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight or freezing temperatures to preserve the shelf life of the marble-infused pigments.
