FAQs

What surfaces is this paint suitable for?

This paint is specifically designed for interior walls and ceilings.

How much area can I cover with one litre of this paint?

The paint offers a coverage of approximately 12 square meters per litre.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

As this paint is mixed to order, it cannot be returned unless there are quality issues with the product.

How should I clean my painted walls?

Wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scrubbing vigorously to maintain the matt finish.

What is the finish of this paint?

The paint has a matt finish, which is non-reflective and ideal for most interior walls and ceilings.

Is this paint suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms?

While water-based, this emulsion is best suited for general interior walls and ceilings. For high-moisture areas, a specialized bathroom paint might be more appropriate.

What is the benefit of the 'mixed to order' process?

Mixing paint to order helps to minimize waste, making the product more eco-friendly.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears streaky or uneven.

Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before application. Apply paint in consistent strokes and avoid overworking it. Check if the surface was adequately prepared and primed if necessary. Consider a second coat.

Colour looks different from the sample.

Colours on screen can vary. Ensure you have a physical colour swatch or test a small, inconspicuous area first. Lighting conditions in the room also affect perceived colour.

Poor adhesion or peeling.

The surface may not have been properly prepared (e.g., dusty, greasy, or damp). Ensure the surface was clean, dry, and free from contaminants before painting. Use an appropriate primer if needed.

Drying time is excessive.

Ensure you are painting in suitable environmental conditions. High humidity or low temperatures can significantly extend drying times. Ensure adequate ventilation.

  • Water-based formula allows for easy cleanup.
  • Good coverage rate of 12 sq. m per litre.
  • Eco-friendly production method reduces waste.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and any loose material. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may be required. Use a primer if painting over dark colours or untreated surfaces.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or roller, working in even strokes. For best results, apply a second coat after the first coat has dried (typically 2-4 hours, depending on conditions). Avoid painting in very humid or cold conditions.

Compatibility: This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard wallpaper adhesives and filler products used in interior decorating.

Care: Clean brushes, rollers, and spills immediately with water. To clean painted surfaces, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing, which can damage the matt finish.
