This emulsion is designed for general interior use. It is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens.
For best results, we recommend two full coats, allowing adequate drying time between each.
Yes, its low VOC content makes it a more suitable choice for living areas, including bedrooms.
You can use a high-quality brush for cutting in and a medium-pile roller for large surface areas to achieve an even finish.
As this is a water-based emulsion, you can clean your brushes and rollers using warm, soapy water immediately after use.
Like most high-quality emulsions, the colour may slightly shift as it cures and achieves its full matt profile.
Ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' while painting and do not over-work the paint once it begins to set.
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.
Patchiness often results from uneven absorption on porous surfaces; apply a high-quality primer to the area before the final topcoats.
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.
