The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Grey is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated, high-end matte finish for interior walls and ceilings. This premium paint delivers a distinctively chalky, heritage aesthetic that hides surface imperfections well, though its matte nature means it may be more susceptible to scuffs compared to higher-sheen finishes.

While it can be used in dry areas of a kitchen, the matte finish is not moisture-resistant enough for areas with high steam, such as bathrooms or areas directly behind a sink.
For full opacity and a consistent finish, we recommend applying two coats over a properly prepared surface.
The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is a water-based paint, which makes cleanup easier and helps reduce harsh odors.
Since it is a water-based formula, you can clean your brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
If you are painting over a drastically different color or porous new plaster, a high-quality universal water-based primer is recommended.
Ensure you are using a high-quality microfiber roller and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the paint to level out properly.
This is often caused by unequal surface absorption. Apply a suitable primer or an additional base coat to seal the substrate before applying the final emulsion.
Ensure the room is well-ventilated and the temperature is above 10 degrees Celsius; high humidity will significantly slow the drying process.
Before applying the Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion, ensure that all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over fresh plaster, apply a mist coat or primer first to prevent uneven suction. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile microfiber roller for best results, applying two even coats for optimal depth of color. For care, keep the painted surfaces away from excessive moisture and avoid harsh scrubbing; if a spot needs cleaning, gently dab with a soft, damp cloth. Always store containers tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from freezing temperatures.
