Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this paint be used in bathrooms or kitchens?

This emulsion is designed for general interior use. It is not recommended for high-moisture areas where a moisture-resistant or wipeable finish is required.

How many coats should I apply?

Two coats are generally recommended to achieve the full colour depth and the intended chalky finish.

Is this paint suitable for ceilings?

Yes, it is perfectly suited for use on both walls and ceilings.

How do I clean my brushes?

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

Does this paint have a strong smell?

It is a low VOC formulation, which means it produces significantly less odor compared to traditional solvent-based paints.

Can I use this on wood or metal?

This paint is specifically formulated for walls and ceilings. You should use a dedicated wood or metal paint for furniture or trim.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or lap lines

Ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' by working in smaller sections and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint is not adhering correctly

Check that the surface was thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. Ensure any previous glossy surfaces were properly sanded.

Uneven finish or patchy appearance

Ensure the surface is properly primed and that you are applying the recommended two coats for consistent colour depth.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, high-end matt appearance
  • Environmentally friendly with low VOC levels
  • Fast drying time for quicker project turnaround
  • Excellent colour intensity and depth

Cons

  • Delicate finish prone to scuffing in high-traffic zones
  • Not intended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms
  • Requires careful preparation of surfaces for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint. Fill any holes or cracks with a suitable filler and sand smooth before applying a primer if necessary.

Application: Apply two coats for optimal coverage. Allow the recommended drying time between coats as specified by ambient temperature and humidity levels.

Care: Clean brushes and tools with water immediately after use. Because the finish is matt and chalky, avoid using harsh cleaning chemicals on the walls. If cleaning is necessary, use a soft, damp cloth and dab gently rather than scrubbing to preserve the paint texture.
