The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Dundas is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sophisticated, ultra-matt finish for interior walls and ceilings. This high-quality emulsion provides excellent depth of color with a soft, chalky aesthetic that masks minor surface imperfections, making it ideal for period properties or modern minimalist spaces. While it offers a premium look and quick drying times, users should be aware that the matt finish is less scrubbable than higher-sheen alternatives, requiring careful maintenance in high-traffic areas.

While it can be used in these areas, the chalky matt finish is porous and less resistant to moisture and grease than specialized kitchen or bathroom paints.
If you are painting over a clean, previously painted surface in good condition, a primer is not always necessary, but it is highly recommended for bare plaster or dark-to-light color changes.
The paint is typically touch-dry within a few hours, though drying times can vary based on ambient temperature and room humidity.
This product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. It is not designed for wood or metal surfaces.
Use a soft, slightly damp cloth with minimal pressure. Avoid using chemical cleaners or abrasive pads.
It means the paint contains lower levels of Volatile Organic Compounds, resulting in fewer fumes and a more environmentally friendly product.
Apply a second coat once the first is fully dry; deep or rich shades often require multiple passes for full opacity.
Maintain a 'wet edge' while painting and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to tack up.
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and sand smooth. For bare or porous surfaces, a suitable primer is recommended to ensure even adhesion. To clean, use a damp cloth and mild detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges or heavy scrubbing, which may burnish the matt surface. Always store the paint tin in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the formula from drying out.
