The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in White is designed for homeowners and professional decorators seeking a sophisticated, flat matt finish that brings architectural depth to interior walls and ceilings. This premium paint excels by offering high-opacity coverage and a smooth, consistent texture that hides minor surface imperfections, though users should note that the chalky, porous nature of the finish makes it less suitable for high-traffic areas prone to heavy scrubbing compared to silk or eggshell alternatives.

It is generally not recommended for areas with high humidity or frequent condensation as the matt finish is not moisture-resistant.
The quick-drying formula typically allows for a second coat to be applied within 2 to 4 hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.
This emulsion is specifically formulated for interior wall and ceiling surfaces; it is not intended for use on wood or metal.
If you are painting over sound, previously painted walls, a primer may not be necessary. However, new plaster or porous surfaces must be primed first.
Ensure the lid is tightly sealed and store the tin in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and frost.
Ensure you maintain a wet edge by working in manageable sections and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.
This often occurs due to uneven surface suction. Apply a proper primer or mist coat before the topcoat to ensure uniform absorption.
Because this is a flat matt emulsion, the surface is naturally porous. Use only a lightly dampened cloth for spot cleaning and avoid scrubbing.
To ensure optimal performance, start by ensuring the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over new plaster, apply a suitable mist coat first to prevent over-absorption. The paint is compatible with standard synthetic brushes and high-quality medium-pile rollers. When applying, maintain a 'wet edge' to avoid visible lap marks, especially in large, open rooms. For care, avoid using abrasive cleaning pads, as these can burnish the matt surface; if the wall becomes dirty, gently dab the area with a slightly damp, soft cloth without using harsh chemicals.
