No, this emulsion is designed for general interior walls and ceilings and is not formulated to withstand the high humidity found in bathrooms.
If you are painting over sound, previously painted walls, a primer is usually not necessary. However, new plaster must be sealed with a mist coat.
Coverage typically averages around 10-12 square meters per liter, depending on the porosity of the surface.
Yes, but be aware that grey tones can appear cooler in north-facing light; it is recommended to test a small patch first.
Allow the paint to cure fully for at least 7 to 14 days before attempting to clean or wipe any surfaces.
This often indicates uneven application or an unsealed porous surface. Apply an additional coat to even out the finish.
Ensure you are keeping a 'wet edge' while painting and do not over-work the paint once it begins to set.
The surface was likely not properly cleaned or primed. Sand the area, clean thoroughly, and apply a suitable primer before repainting.
Before starting, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. If painting over new plaster, apply a mist coat first to seal the surface. Apply the emulsion at room temperature using a brush for cutting in and a roller for larger areas. While the paint dries quickly, wait at least 4 hours before applying a second coat. For maintenance, avoid scrubbing the surface; if marks appear, gently dab with a soft, slightly damp cloth, taking care not to rub the paint away. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from skinning.
