FAQs

Can I use this paint on a radiator?

Yes, Thermilate PRO FLEX is suitable for radiators. Ensure the radiator is clean, dry, and free from rust before application.

Do I really need a primer?

Thermilate PRO FLEX is formulated as an all-in-one paint and primer for properly prepared surfaces. However, for very porous, damaged, or challenging surfaces, a separate primer might still offer enhanced adhesion and coverage.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick drying. Specific drying times (touch dry and re-coat times) will be detailed on the product packaging and should be followed for best results.

Is it suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

Yes, the washable and durable finish makes it ideal for kitchens and bathrooms where surfaces are exposed to moisture and require regular cleaning.

Can I use this on floors?

Yes, it can be used on floors, particularly in low to medium traffic areas. For very high-traffic or industrial floors, consider specialized floor coatings.

What is the VOC content?

The paint is described as low VOC, contributing to better air quality during and after application.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with water.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, dry, and free from contaminants. If the surface was glossy, it may need light sanding. Reapply after ensuring proper surface preparation.

Uneven finish or brush marks

Apply paint in thin, even coats. Ensure you are using the correct application method (brush, roller, or sprayer) for the surface and desired finish. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Poor coverage

Apply a second coat after the first coat has dried. For significant colour changes, a primer might be beneficial despite the 'no primer' claim, or consider a paint colour closer to the existing shade.

Paint is too thick to apply

Stir the paint thoroughly. If still too thick, check the product's instructions for any recommended thinning ratios, though typically this product is designed for direct application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Reduces the need for multiple paint types, saving time and money.
  • Suitable for a wide array of substrates, from walls to metal.
  • Durable and washable finish holds up well in demanding environments.
  • Quick drying time allows for faster project completion.
  • Low VOC and low odour make it user-friendly for indoor applications.

Cons

  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results.
  • May not offer the same specialized performance as dedicated primers or finishes.
  • The 'all-in-one' nature might require a second coat for full opacity on dark substrates.
  • Durability on heavily weathered exterior surfaces may vary without proper prep.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For porous surfaces like bare wood or masonry, ensure they are sound. No separate primer is needed on properly prepared surfaces.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush, roller, or sprayer. Two thin coats are generally recommended for best results, especially when changing colours significantly. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per the manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on interior and exterior walls, ceilings, wood, metal, UPVC, radiators, skirting boards, doors, fences, floors, and garden furniture. Test on a small, inconspicuous area if unsure about compatibility with a specific material.

Care: Clean brushes and equipment immediately after use with water. The finished paint surface is washable. For cleaning the painted surface, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
