Product Information

Full details

This Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion paint in Wimborne White (2.5L) is ideal for homeowners seeking a classic, chalky finish for interior walls and ceilings in low-traffic areas. Its key benefit is the creation of a rich, deep colour that minimizes imperfections. A caveat to consider is its suitability for low-traffic environments only, as it's not designed for high-wear surfaces. This water-based, low-VOC paint offers excellent coverage and a beautiful matte appearance.

FAQs

Is Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion suitable for bathrooms?

How many coats of paint are typically needed?

For best results and to achieve the full depth of colour, two coats of Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion are generally recommended over a suitable primer and undercoat.

What is the drying time for Estate Emulsion?

The paint is usually dry to the touch within 2-4 hours, but a recoat time of 4-6 hours is recommended, depending on ambient temperature and humidity.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

No, Farrow & Ball Estate Emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings. For furniture, you would need a paint with a different finish and durability, such as Farrow & Ball's Eggshell or Full Gloss.

How do I clean the painted surface?

To clean, gently wipe the surface with a damp, soft cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing vigorously, as this can damage the chalky finish.

Farrow & Ball recommends using their own Wall & Ceiling Primer & Undercoat for optimal adhesion and colour development.

Is Wimborne White a warm or cool white?

Wimborne White is a versatile, soft white with a touch of warmth, making it suitable for a wide range of interior settings without appearing stark.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering imperfections well

Ensure adequate surface preparation. Apply a suitable Farrow & Ball primer and undercoat. Apply a second coat of paint if necessary, ensuring sufficient drying time between coats.

Uneven colour or finish

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Apply paint evenly with consistent brush/roller strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure consistent drying conditions.

Paint has a strong odour

Although low VOC, some odour may be present. Ensure good ventilation during and after application. The odour should dissipate as the paint fully cures.

Difficulty cleaning application tools

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with soap and water. Dried paint can be difficult to remove.
