The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sophisticated, ultra-matte finish for interior walls and ceilings. This premium paint delivers exceptional depth of color and a smooth, elegant appearance, making it ideal for period properties or contemporary spaces alike. While it offers excellent coverage and a high-quality finish, users should be aware that the chalky nature of the matte surface is more susceptible to scuffing in high-traffic areas compared to silk or satin finishes.

This paint is not recommended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms as it lacks the moisture resistance required for humid environments.
While the coverage is excellent, two coats are generally recommended for the best color depth and finish.
Due to its chalky, matte finish, it is not as durable as eggshell or silk paints and should be cleaned very gently to avoid burnishing the surface.
Use a high-quality synthetic brush for cutting in and a medium-pile microfiber roller for the main wall surfaces.
No, as it is formulated with low VOC content, it has a minimal odor compared to traditional solvent-based paints.
This product is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings; for wood or metal, you should use a product specifically formulated for those substrates.
Ensure the wall surface was primed correctly and that you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while rolling to prevent overlapping lines.
This often occurs if the surface was not properly cleaned or if there was residual moisture; sand the area back and ensure the surface is clean before reapplying.
Use a high-quality medium-pile roller and ensure you are not overloading the roller with too much paint.
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over fresh plaster, apply a mist coat first to ensure proper adhesion. For best results, use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile microfiber roller. When cleaning the finished walls, avoid harsh scrubbing or chemical cleaners, as these can damage the matte surface; instead, gently dab with a soft, damp cloth if spot cleaning is required. Store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the emulsion from thickening over time.
