FAQs

Can I use Johnstone's Kitchen Hemlock Matt Emulsion Paint in a bathroom?

Yes, due to its grease-resisting and high condensation protection properties, it is suitable for use in bathrooms and other areas with elevated moisture levels, as well as kitchens.

How many coats of paint will I need?

Typically, two coats are recommended for optimal coverage, colour depth, and durability. However, this may vary depending on the original surface colour and condition.

How long does it take for the paint to dry?

The paint is usually touch dry in 2-4 hours, and you can typically apply a second coat after 4 hours. Full hardness and washability are achieved after 7-14 days.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, once fully cured, the paint provides a tough and durable finish that can be gently wiped clean with a soft cloth and mild detergent, making it ideal for busy kitchen environments.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

This paint provides a contemporary matt emulsion finish, which offers a smooth, non-reflective look and helps to disguise minor wall imperfections.

Do I need to use a primer before applying this paint?

A primer is not always necessary for previously painted surfaces in good condition. However, for bare, porous, or significantly stained surfaces, using a suitable primer is recommended to ensure even absorption and better adhesion.

What surfaces is this paint suitable for?

It is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings, particularly those in high-traffic areas or areas susceptible to grease and high condensation, such as kitchens and bathrooms.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering properly to the surface.

Ensure the surface is thoroughly clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose materials. If the surface is very smooth or glossy, a light sanding to create a 'key' or a specific primer may be needed before painting.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible after drying.

Apply paint evenly using a good quality brush or roller, avoiding overspreading. Ensure you apply enough paint to allow it to flow out smoothly. Always allow the previous coat to dry completely before applying the next, and work in consistent sections.

Grease or stains bleeding through the new paint coat.

This usually indicates that the underlying grease or stain was not adequately removed or sealed. Thoroughly clean and degrease the affected area. For stubborn stains, apply a stain-blocking primer before repainting with the kitchen emulsion.

Paint has a strong odour that persists after drying.

Ensure ample ventilation in the room during and after painting. Keep windows and doors open to allow fresh air circulation. The odour should dissipate completely within a few days with proper ventilation.

Mould or mildew reappears after painting.

While the paint helps resist condensation, it doesn't kill existing mould. Before painting, treat any mould with a suitable mould killer. Address the source of excessive moisture if possible. Ensure good ventilation, especially in high condensation areas, even after painting.
