FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While the paint is wipeable, it is designated as 'Home Paint' and may not be specifically formulated for high-moisture environments like bathrooms. For such areas, a dedicated bathroom or kitchen paint with enhanced moisture and mould resistance might be more suitable. However, for standard kitchen walls outside of direct splash zones, it can perform adequately if ventilation is good.

How do I clean painting tools after use?

Clean brushes, rollers, and any other equipment immediately after use with warm water and soap. Rinse thoroughly until all paint residue is removed.

What is the coverage rate for this paint?

Coverage varies depending on the surface porosity and application method, but typically water-based paints like this provide coverage of approximately 10-12 square meters per litre. The 2.5-litre tin should cover approximately 25-30 square meters with one coat.

Can I paint over existing oil-based paint with this product?

Yes, but proper preparation is crucial. Lightly sand the oil-based surface to create a key, clean away dust, and apply a suitable water-based primer before applying THE ONE Home Paint. This ensures good adhesion.

What is the shelf life of the paint?

When stored correctly in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost, the paint should remain usable for at least 12-24 months. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed between uses.

Does the white paint have a sheen level?

The product description does not specify the sheen level (e.g., matte, silk, satin). For detailed information on sheen, please refer to the product packaging or manufacturer's technical data sheet.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from dust/grease). Apply a suitable primer if painting over problematic surfaces like gloss paint or bare plaster.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Stir paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply in even coats, avoiding overworking the paint. Use a quality brush or roller suitable for water-based paints.

Drying time seems excessive

Ensure the paint is applied at the recommended thickness. Low temperatures or high humidity can slow drying. Ensure good ventilation in the room.

Paint is too thick

Stir the paint well. If still too thick for application, a very small amount of clean water can be added (check manufacturer recommendations, typically less than 5%).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to clean and maintain surfaces.
  • Quick drying time speeds up painting projects.
  • Safe for indoor environments due to non-toxic, water-based formula.
  • Environmentally conscious production.
  • Good value for money with a 2.5-litre coverage.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for interior use (walls and ceilings).
  • May require multiple coats for complete coverage on dark or uneven surfaces.
  • Specific drying times can vary based on humidity and application thickness.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old flaking paint. For best results, prime bare plaster or previously painted surfaces with an appropriate primer. Stir the paint thoroughly before use.

Application: Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer. For walls, a medium-pile roller is generally effective. For ceilings, a long-handled roller can be beneficial. Apply evenly, avoiding over-brushing or over-rolling. Allow adequate drying time between coats as recommended on the tin, typically 2-4 hours.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for most interior walls and ceilings. It is not recommended for floors, exterior surfaces, or areas of constant immersion.

Care: Clean spills and drips immediately with warm water. Once dry, the painted surface can be wiped clean with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the finish.
