The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a sophisticated, flat matt finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is a high-pigment, quick-drying formula that delivers a professional aesthetic with excellent coverage; however, users should note that the chalky finish is porous and may be less resistant to scrubbing compared to high-sheen satin or gloss paints.

While it can be used, this paint is better suited for low-traffic, dry rooms. It lacks the scrubbability required for high-moisture or high-grease environments.
Typically, two coats provide the best opacity and finish, though one coat may suffice if painting over a similar color.
No, this product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings only.
Under normal conditions, wait at least 4 hours for the paint to dry thoroughly before applying a second coat.
Store in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
This is often due to uneven surface porosity. Ensure a proper primer is used on bare plaster before applying the topcoat.
Ensure the roller is fully loaded with paint and maintain a 'wet edge' while working across the wall. Do not over-spread the paint.
Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. If painting over a porous or new plaster surface, apply a suitable primer first to prevent uneven absorption. For care, gently wipe down the walls with a soft, dry microfiber cloth to remove dust. Because of the delicate nature of the chalky emulsion, avoid using abrasive sponges or heavy chemical cleaners, as these can burnish or remove the matt finish.
