The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a professional-grade, sophisticated matt finish for walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is the combination of rich, durable pigment with a quick-drying formula, though users should note that the porous nature of this finish may make it less suitable for high-traffic or high-moisture areas like kitchens and bathrooms compared to silk or eggshell finishes.

It is not recommended for bathrooms or kitchens as the porous matt finish may be damaged by high humidity and steam.
The paint is quick-drying, typically touch-dry within a few hours, though allow for full curing before hanging heavy decor.
Always prime fresh plaster or porous surfaces to ensure even suction and better adhesion.
Wash brushes and rollers thoroughly with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
No, the 1829 Chalky Emulsion is specifically formulated for interior surfaces only.
A 2.5L tin typically covers approximately 25 to 30 square meters, depending on the porosity of the surface.
Ensure you are maintaining a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.
Ensure the surface was primed correctly, especially if painting over non-porous surfaces or existing glossy finishes.
Thoroughly stir the paint before and during application to ensure pigments are evenly distributed.
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over fresh plaster, apply a mist coat first to ensure proper adhesion. For best results, use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller. Once dried, treat the surface with care; because of the matt finish, aggressive scrubbing may burnish the surface. To clean, use a soft, damp cloth to gently pat away marks, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners.
