Johnstone's Walls & Ceilings Silk Emulsion Paint is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a sophisticated, high-sheen finish on interior walls and ceilings. This durable paint offers excellent light-reflecting properties that can help brighten up smaller or darker rooms, making it a versatile choice for living areas and bedrooms. While it provides a beautiful, silky-smooth result, users should be aware that the high sheen finish may highlight minor surface imperfections compared to a matte alternative, requiring thorough wall preparation before application.

While it is durable and scrub-resistant, this paint is primarily intended for living areas and bedrooms. For high-humidity environments like bathrooms, a dedicated kitchen and bathroom paint is usually recommended.
Usually, two coats provide the best coverage and sheen uniformity, though the number of coats depends on the underlying color and condition of the surface.
Yes, it is a water-based emulsion, which makes cleanup simple with just warm soapy water.
It is generally recommended to lightly sand and apply an appropriate primer or undercoat to ensure the new water-based emulsion sticks to the previous oil-based finish.
It is a quick-drying formula, though you should wait at least 2-4 hours between coats depending on room temperature and humidity.
No, it is specifically formulated to be low-odour, making it much more comfortable to live in the space while painting.
Ensure the surface was primed correctly. Uneven porosity in the wall can soak up paint at different rates, requiring an extra coat for uniformity.
You may be overloading the brush or roller. Load less paint and apply with light, even pressure, working in consistent directions.
High-sheen paints highlight flaws. Use a filler to smooth out bumps before the final coat, or consider applying a fine-coat plaster finish.
To prepare for application, ensure you have quality brushes and medium-pile rollers for smooth surfaces. Before starting, fill any cracks or holes with filler and sand the area until flush with the wall. Apply a primer if working on a porous or bare surface to ensure the emulsion adheres correctly.
For ongoing care, the scrub-resistant nature of this paint means you can gently wipe away surface dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull the sheen or scratch the paint surface over time. Store the remaining paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent skinning.
