This guide is for DIY enthusiasts and professional decorators seeking a durable, easy-to-clean white emulsion for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is a light-reflective, attractive sheen finish that can make spaces feel larger, combined with dirt-resisting properties. A caveat to consider is its water-based formulation, which requires proper ventilation during application and drying.

It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces.
One litre of Leyland Trade Vinyl Silk Emulsion provides approximately 12m² of coverage.
You should recoat after 3 to 4 hours, allowing the first coat to dry sufficiently.
Yes, its washable finish makes it suitable for kitchens and bathrooms, but ensure good ventilation and avoid direct water spray on the surface.
For light marks, use a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
No, Leyland Trade Vinyl Silk Emulsion is designed for interior use only.
This specific product is Brilliant White. Other colours, such as Magnolia, are available in the Leyland Trade Vinyl Silk range.
Ensure surface is properly prepared and not overly porous. Apply a primer if necessary. Check if the paint is applied too thinly or if the surface colour is very dark underneath.
Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly before and during use. Avoid applying in direct sunlight or on overly hot surfaces. Maintain a wet edge when painting to prevent lap marks.
Surface may not have been properly prepared. Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or old flaking paint. A primer might be needed for certain surfaces.
Clean tools immediately after use with warm water. Dried paint can be difficult to remove from water-based products.
Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any cracks or holes with appropriate filler. For previously painted surfaces, a light sanding may improve adhesion.
Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush, roller, or spray. For best results, apply two coats, allowing the first coat to dry for 3-4 hours before applying the second. Use in a well-ventilated area.
Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Not recommended for exterior use or high-moisture areas like shower cubicles without appropriate preparation or sealing.
Care: Clean application tools immediately after use with water. To maintain the finish, wipe away light marks and dirt with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners, which can damage the silk finish.
