Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used on ceilings?

Yes, this emulsion is specifically formulated for both walls and ceilings.

Is this paint wipeable?

Yes, it is designed to be wipeable for easy cleaning of minor marks and dust.

How many coats are typically needed?

Two coats are generally recommended for full coverage and the best color payoff.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Since this is a water-based emulsion, you can clean brushes and rollers easily with warm, soapy water.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While it can be used in dry areas, it is not designed for high-humidity environments; consider a dedicated kitchen and bathroom paint for those rooms.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you are using the correct pile roller and maintain a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint as it begins to dry.

Paint is peeling or flaking

This is often due to poor surface preparation. Ensure the wall is cleaned of all dust and grease before the first coat.

Insufficient coverage

If painting over a dark color with a light one, use a primer first or apply an additional thin coat of emulsion.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Minimizes wall imperfections for a flawless finish
  • Easy to apply with a smooth, creamy consistency
  • Quick drying formula ideal for fast projects
  • Provides a sophisticated, modern matte appearance
  • Wipeable surface for easier maintenance

Cons

  • Matte finish may be more prone to showing marks than silk or gloss
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best adhesion
  • Not intended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms without specific primers

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure the surface is free of dust, grease, and loose material. If painting over fresh plaster, use a suitable mist coat (a diluted mixture of paint and water) to prevent the surface from absorbing too much moisture. Use a quality roller for large areas and a synthetic brush for corners. To care for your finished walls, clean using a soft, damp cloth with mild detergent; avoid harsh abrasive sponges which can damage the matte finish. Store unused paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the emulsion from drying out.
