This high-quality paint offers a beautiful silky appearance with excellent coverage and a low-VOC formulation that makes it a safer, environmentally conscious option for any room.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?

While Johnstone's Silk Emulsion is great for living rooms and bedrooms, it is not formulated specifically for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens. Consider a specialized kitchen/bathroom paint for those spaces.

Can I use this on ceilings?

Yes, this product is explicitly designed for use on both walls and ceilings.

Does it require a primer?

If you are painting over a clean, previously painted surface, a primer is usually not required. However, for raw plaster or significantly repaired walls, a mist coat or primer is recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

It is a fast-drying formula, typically touch-dry within a few hours, though drying times can vary based on room temperature and humidity.

Can I clean the walls after they are painted?

Yes, the silk finish is generally more durable and easier to wipe clean than standard flat matte paints.

What is the best tool for application?

A medium-pile roller is best for walls to ensure even coverage, while a synthetic brush is ideal for cutting into corners and edges.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and avoid overworking the paint. Maintain a 'wet edge' by overlapping strokes while the paint is still wet.

Paint finish looks uneven

This is often due to an inadequately prepared surface. Ensure the wall is sanded smooth and primed if the surface is highly porous.

Paint is not covering in one coat

Silk emulsions are generally designed for two-coat applications for a uniform finish. Ensure you are allowing the recommended drying time between coats.

Pros and Cons

  • Sophisticated and elegant silky sheen
  • Easy to apply with smooth consistency
  • Fast drying time for efficient project completion
  • Environmentally friendly low-VOC formula
  • High-quality coverage for long-lasting results

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best performance from your Johnstone's Silk Emulsion, follow these guidelines:

  1. Surface Prep: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Fill any holes or cracks with filler and sand smooth before painting.
  2. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply using a brush or roller, working in sections to maintain a wet edge.
  3. Compatibility: This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings. If painting over dark or porous surfaces, apply a suitable primer first.
  4. Storage: Store the tin in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is sealed tightly after every use to prevent the paint from drying out.
  5. Cleanup: Wash brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use.
