FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This emulsion is designed for general interior use. It is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens.

How many coats are typically required?

For best results, we recommend two full coats, allowing adequate drying time between each.

Is this paint safe to use in a child's bedroom?

Yes, its low VOC content makes it a more suitable choice for living areas, including bedrooms.

What is the best way to apply this paint?

You can use a high-quality brush for cutting in and a medium-pile roller for large surface areas to achieve an even finish.

How do I clean brushes used with this paint?

As this is a water-based emulsion, you can clean your brushes and rollers using warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Does the colour change as it dries?

Like most high-quality emulsions, the colour may slightly shift as it cures and achieves its full matt profile.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' while painting and do not over-work the paint once it begins to set.

Paint not adhering to the wall

Verify the surface was properly cleaned and primed. If painting over glossy surfaces, ensure the area has been sanded to create a 'key' for the paint.

The finish looks patchy

Patchiness often results from uneven absorption on porous surfaces; apply a high-quality primer to the area before the final topcoats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, high-quality matt aesthetic
  • Fast-drying formula increases project efficiency
  • Environmentally conscious with low VOC content
  • Excellent opacity and coverage for interior surfaces

Cons

  • Requires thorough surface preparation for the best results
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens
  • Matt finishes can be more prone to showing scuffs compared to glossier paints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. If applying over fresh plaster, use a suitable mist coat or primer to prevent uneven absorption. For maintenance, gently wipe the surface with a soft, slightly damp cloth if cleaning is necessary; avoid abrasive chemicals or scrubbing, as this can mar the delicate matt finish. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
