Product Information

Full details

This Thorndown Walls and Ceilings Dulcote Stone Matt Paint (2.5L) is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable, eco-friendly paint with a sophisticated, flat matt finish. Its key benefit is providing a rich, long-lasting colour for interior walls and ceilings that is also washable and resistant to dirt. A potential caveat is that its flat matt finish, while elegant, may show brush strokes more readily than higher sheen paints if not applied carefully.

FAQs

What is the finish of this paint?

This paint has a rich, flat matt finish with less than 3% gloss.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

Yes, its durable and washable nature makes it suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including kitchens and living areas where easy cleaning is beneficial. For very high humidity areas, ensure good ventilation.

How much area does 2.5 litres cover?

This 2.5-litre can covers up to 12m² per litre, so approximately 30m² in total, depending on the surface and application method.

Can I use this paint on metal radiators?

Yes, the paint is specifically designed to be used on metal radiators as well as walls, ceilings, woodwork, and furniture.

What is the drying time?

Drying time is typically 2-4 hours between coats, but this can vary based on temperature and humidity. Allow sufficient time for the paint to dry thoroughly.

How do I clean my painted surface?

You can gently wipe surfaces with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild detergent solution and a soft sponge, then rinse with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What does 'low VOC' mean for this paint?

Low VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds) means the paint releases fewer chemicals into the air, making it better for indoor air quality and reducing potential health impacts during and after application.

Is this paint available in other colours?

Troubleshooting

Paint is too thick or has lumps

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still lumpy, strain through a fine sieve before application.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is well-stirred. Apply in thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Poor coverage on first coat

This can happen with significant colour changes. Apply a second coat, ensuring the first coat is fully dry.

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from grease). Lightly sand glossy surfaces before painting. Use a suitable primer if necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Use a suitable primer if painting over dark or stained surfaces, or for bare plaster/wood.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. Two coats are generally recommended for best results. Allow adequate drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours, depending on conditions).

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls, ceilings, metal radiators, interior woodwork, and furniture. Not intended for exterior use.

Care: Clean up spills and equipment with water immediately after use. For maintenance, wipe surfaces gently with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent solution and a soft sponge, then rinse with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads.
