Product Information

Full details

The GoodHome Lehenagh Silk Wall and Ceiling Emulsion Paint is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to update their living spaces with a sophisticated, durable finish. This paint provides excellent coverage and a subtle silk sheen that stands up well to everyday wear, making it a reliable choice for walls and ceilings; however, users should be aware that the silk finish may highlight surface imperfections more readily than a matte paint, requiring careful wall preparation before application.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

While this is a durable emulsion, it is primarily designed for living areas; for high-humidity areas, we recommend a dedicated kitchen or bathroom paint.

How many coats are typically required?

For best results, two coats are recommended to achieve full opacity and the desired silk finish.

Is this paint water-based?

Yes, GoodHome emulsions are generally water-based, which makes tool cleanup easy with soap and water.

How long does it take to dry?

Drying times vary by temperature and humidity, but it is typically touch-dry within a few hours, with a full cure achieved after 24 hours.

Can I apply this over existing oil-based paint?

It is recommended to lightly sand the surface and apply a suitable primer first to ensure proper adhesion.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patches

Ensure the surface was primed properly and that you are using a consistent application method; apply an additional coat once the first is fully dry.

Paint showing brush marks

Use a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint; apply in smooth, long strokes.

Surface imperfections are highly visible

Sand the affected area back, apply a fine-surface filler, sand again until flush, and repaint the patch.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated silk sheen aesthetic
  • Excellent opacity and coverage
  • Durable finish suitable for high-traffic areas
  • Easy application on both walls and ceilings
  • Ideal container size for medium-sized projects

Cons

  • Silk finish highlights wall imperfections
  • Requires smooth surfaces for best visual results
  • More reflective than flat or matte emulsions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint. If the wall has cracks or holes, fill and sand them smooth, as the silk sheen will emphasize these flaws. Stir the paint thoroughly before use to ensure consistent color distribution. Apply using a roller or brush, allowing for adequate drying time between coats as specified on the product label. Clean tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water to prevent the paint from hardening on bristles or roller covers.
