FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

Yes, the Modern Emulsion finish is washable and durable, making it suitable for bathrooms and kitchens. Ensure good ventilation.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

Coverage varies depending on the surface and application method, but typically expect around 12 square meters per liter.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

This emulsion is primarily designed for walls and ceilings. For furniture, Farrow & Ball offers specific finishes like Eggshell or Full Gloss which are more durable for high-wear surfaces.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Clean gently with a damp cloth or sponge and a mild soap solution. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What does 'Low VOC' mean?

'Low VOC' means the paint contains a reduced level of Volatile Organic Compounds, which are chemicals that can evaporate into the air and affect air quality.

Does 'Multicolor' mean it has multiple colors mixed in?

The 'Multicolor' designation refers to the color family and the complexity of the shade. It suggests a nuanced color that may appear to shift slightly depending on the light, rather than a paint with visible flecks of different colors.

What is the drying time for Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion?

The paint is quick-drying, usually ready for a second coat within 2-4 hours, depending on environmental conditions.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during use. Avoid over-spreading the paint and apply in even strokes. Work to a natural break in the surface where possible. Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed.

Paint not covering adequately

Ensure the surface is properly primed and that the paint is applied at the recommended thickness. A second coat may be necessary for full opacity, especially when covering dark colors.

Color does not match expectation

Always test a sample of the paint on your wall in different lighting conditions before committing to a full decoration. The 'Multicolor' aspect can appear differently depending on ambient light.

Slow drying time

Ensure proper ventilation in the room. Avoid applying paint in excessively humid or cold conditions, as this can slow drying. Check that you are not applying the paint too thickly.

Care: Clean spills immediately with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild soap solution on a damp sponge, then rinse with clean water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as this can damage the finish.
