Product Information

Full details

Designed for homeowners looking to brighten their interiors, Johnstone's Silk Emulsion Paint is an ideal solution for walls and ceilings that require a touch of elegance and added durability. This paint offers a high-sheen, light-reflecting finish that helps small or dim rooms feel more spacious and illuminated. While its scrub-resistant properties make it excellent for high-traffic areas, users should note that the silk finish will highlight imperfections on uneven surfaces more readily than a matte paint would.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens?

Yes, its scrub-resistant properties make it durable enough for kitchen walls, though avoid using it in areas directly behind hobs or sinks prone to heavy water splashing.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Absolutely. Its light-reflecting properties are perfect for ceilings, helping to make rooms feel taller and brighter.

Do I need a primer?

If you are painting over a clean, neutral-colored wall, a primer may not be necessary. However, for porous surfaces or drastic color changes, a primer is recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within a few hours, but you should always refer to the specific tin label for exact recoat times.

How do I clean the brushes?

This is a water-based paint, so you can clean your brushes and rollers using warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Can I use this on wood?

This paint is specifically formulated for wall and ceiling substrates; for wood trim or doors, use a product designed for woodwork.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure the roller is fully loaded with paint and do not over-spread the product; maintain a 'wet edge' while painting.

Surface imperfections are too visible

Sand the wall back to a smooth finish and use a filler before applying an additional coat of paint.

Paint is not sticking properly

Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of dust, grease, and loose material before the first coat was applied.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reflects light effectively to brighten dark rooms
  • Highly durable and scrub-resistant for high-traffic walls
  • Low odour makes the painting process more comfortable
  • Fast drying formula speeds up project completion
  • Provides a sophisticated, high-sheen aesthetic

Cons

  • High sheen can emphasize wall imperfections or bumps
  • Requires proper surface preparation for the best finish
  • Not suitable for areas where a completely flat matte look is desired

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over a dark color, a suitable primer or base coat is advised to ensure better coverage.

Application can be performed using a brush for cutting in corners and a roller for larger expanses. Between coats, ensure you allow for the recommended drying time indicated on the tin. For cleaning, use only mild soapy water and a soft cloth to maintain the finish; avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can dull the sheen over time.
