FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This emulsion paint is suitable for most interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and properly prepared.

How many coats of paint will I need?

Typically, two coats are recommended for best results, especially when painting over a different colour. The exact number of coats may vary depending on the surface condition and the desired opacity.

Is this paint washable?

Yes, once fully cured, the emulsion finish is washable. You can gently wipe it with a damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners.

What is the coverage rate of this paint?

The approximate coverage is around 10-12 square meters per litre. A 2.5L tin should cover a significant area, but this can vary based on the application method and surface porosity.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While it is washable, this emulsion is primarily designed for standard interior walls. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms, consider using a paint specifically formulated for bathrooms or ensure proper ventilation and use a moisture-resistant primer.

How long does the paint take to dry?

The paint typically takes 2-4 hours to dry to the touch between coats. Allow longer for full curing, which can take up to 24-48 hours, before subjecting the surface to heavy wear.

What does 'Seagrass Meadow' evoke?

The name 'Seagrass Meadow' is intended to evoke a sense of nature, earthiness, ruggedness, and tranquillity, bringing an outdoor feel indoors.

Troubleshooting

Uneven colour or patchy finish

Ensure paint was stirred thoroughly before and during use. Apply paint evenly and consistently, avoiding overworking areas. Allow adequate drying time between coats, and consider a third coat if necessary.

Paint not adhering well

Check that the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, and lightly sanded if previously glossy). Ensure no dust or grease was present during application. Use a suitable primer if painting over problematic surfaces.

Brush marks or roller texture are visible

Use a high-quality brush or roller suitable for emulsion paint. Apply paint with smooth, consistent strokes. Avoid applying too much pressure or over-brushing. Allow coats to dry fully before assessing.

Colour appears different from the swatch

Lighting conditions significantly affect colour perception. Test the colour in the intended room under natural and artificial light. The final appearance can also depend on the number of coats applied and the underlying surface colour.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Fill any cracks or holes. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on most interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. Not recommended for high-moisture environments without appropriate preparation (e.g., a moisture-resistant primer).

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush, roller, or sprayer in even coats. Allow adequate drying time between coats (typically 2-4 hours, but check the tin for specific recommendations).

Care: Once dry, the emulsion finish can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent and rinse gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
