FAQs

What surfaces can Johnstone's Silk Emulsion be used on?

This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed if necessary.

How do I clean the painted surface?

You can clean the surface with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Gently wipe away marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While durable and scrub-resistant, this silk emulsion is best suited for general living areas, bedrooms, and hallways. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms and kitchens, a specialist kitchen and bathroom paint might be more appropriate.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but drying times can vary depending on temperature and humidity. Refer to the product packaging for specific drying times before applying a second coat.

What is the difference between silk and matt emulsion?

Silk emulsion has a noticeable sheen and reflects light, making surfaces appear brighter. Matt emulsion has no sheen and provides a flat, non-reflective finish.

Does this paint have a strong odour?

No, this paint features a low-odour formula, making it more pleasant to use indoors.

Can I use this paint over existing dark colours?

For best results and full coverage, especially when painting over dark or vibrant colours, it is recommended to use a suitable primer before applying the silk emulsion.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from dust/grease) and that a suitable primer was used if necessary.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is applied evenly with consistent brush strokes or roller pressure. Avoid overworking the paint. Check that the paint is not too thick; thin slightly with water if recommended.

Colour appears different after drying

Paint colour can sometimes look slightly different when dry compared to wet. Always test a small area first. Ensure consistent lighting conditions during application.

Paint is too thick to apply smoothly

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, add a small amount of water (as per product instructions) to achieve a more workable consistency.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a sophisticated, light-reflecting silk finish.
  • Highly durable and resistant to scrubbing, ideal for high-traffic areas.
  • Low odour and quick-drying for a more comfortable and efficient decorating process.
  • Offers excellent coverage for a smooth, even appearance.
  • Suitable for both walls and ceilings.

Cons

  • The 'silk' finish means it has a noticeable sheen, which might not suit those preferring a matte look.
  • Higher sheen finishes can sometimes highlight surface imperfections.
  • Requires careful preparation of surfaces for optimal results.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, lightly sand glossy finishes to improve adhesion. Apply a suitable primer if painting over dark or vibrant colours, or on new plaster.

Compatibility: This silk emulsion is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard paint rollers, brushes, and spray equipment. Avoid using on surfaces that are constantly wet or subject to condensation.

Care: To clean the painted surface, use a damp cloth with mild detergent. Gently wipe the affected area. For stubborn marks, a soft brush may be used cautiously. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the silk finish. Regularly dust surfaces to maintain appearance.
