FAQs

Is Farrow & Ball Wimborne White suitable for a bathroom?

Yes, the Modern Emulsion finish is specifically recommended for bathrooms and kitchens due to its durability, washability, and mould-resistant properties.

How do I clean this paint?

You can clean the painted surface with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild detergent solution and rinse the area afterwards.

What is the difference between Modern Emulsion and Estate Emulsion?

Modern Emulsion offers a much more durable and washable finish compared to Estate Emulsion, making it ideal for high-traffic areas. Estate Emulsion has a more chalky, traditional finish.

Does this paint have a strong odour?

No, Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion is a water-based paint with low VOCs, meaning it has very little odour during and after application.

How many coats of paint do I need?

Typically, two topcoats are recommended for full coverage and the best finish. However, this can vary depending on the colour and condition of the surface being painted.

Can I use Wimborne White in a nursery?

Yes, due to its low VOC and low odour properties, it is a suitable choice for nurseries and children's rooms.

What finish does Farrow & Ball Wimborne White Modern Emulsion have?

It has a durable, mid-sheen finish that is significantly less reflective than gloss or eggshell, but more so than a flat matt.

Troubleshooting

Paint is streaky or uneven after application.

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred and applied evenly with a consistent technique. Check for proper surface preparation and adequate paint coverage. Allow sufficient drying time between coats.

Colour appears different than expected.

Colour perception can be influenced by lighting conditions and surrounding colours. Test a small area first. Ensure you are using the correct product (Wimborne White Modern Emulsion) and that the surface is uniformly primed.

Difficulty in cleaning marks.

While the paint is washable, very stubborn stains might require gentle cleaning with a mild soap solution. Test any cleaning method on an inconspicuous area first to avoid damaging the finish.

Paint is not adhering well to the surface.

This is usually due to inadequate surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or gloss. Use an appropriate primer if necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent durability and washability for busy areas.
  • Mould-resistant properties are ideal for kitchens and bathrooms.
  • Low VOC content contributes to a healthier indoor environment with less odour.
  • Versatile colour that is slightly softer than a pure white.
  • Easy water-based cleanup.

Cons

  • Can appear less bright than a pure white, which might not suit all minimalist aesthetics.
  • Requires careful surface preparation for optimal results.
  • May require multiple coats for full opacity, depending on the underlying surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Use a suitable primer for new or previously painted surfaces. For optimal results, a mist coat of thinned emulsion is recommended for new plaster.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a good quality brush or roller. Typically, two topcoats are recommended. Allow adequate drying time between coats as per product instructions.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces, provided they are in good condition and properly prepared.

Care: Clean spills and marks promptly with a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn stains, use a mild detergent solution and rinse thoroughly. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
