FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

No, this emulsion is designed for dry interior rooms and lacks the moisture resistance required for kitchens and bathrooms.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Yes, it is perfectly formulated for both interior walls and ceilings.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying; however, touch-dry times can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity.

Do I need a primer?

For previously painted, sound surfaces, a primer may not be necessary. However, for new or porous surfaces, a mist coat or primer is essential.

How many coats should I apply?

While it offers superior coverage, two coats are generally recommended for the best results and color depth.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or uneven after drying

Ensure the surface was properly primed and that the paint was stirred thoroughly before application.

Finish looks too thin

Ensure you are using the correct nap roller for your wall texture and apply a second full coat once the first is dry.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, non-reflective aesthetic
  • Easy application process for professional results
  • Environmentally conscious with low VOC formula
  • Excellent opacity reduces the total number of coats required

Cons

  • Matte finish can be more susceptible to scuffing compared to silk or satin
  • Not suitable for high-humidity areas like bathrooms
  • Requires careful handling to maintain the integrity of the finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before applying, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over fresh plaster, use a suitable mist coat or primer first. The paint can be applied via brush or roller. Clean all equipment thoroughly with warm soapy water immediately after use. To care for finished walls, avoid harsh scrubbing; if cleaning is necessary, use a soft, damp cloth and blot gently rather than rubbing, as the matte finish is delicate.
