The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Cream is ideal for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a sophisticated, professional-grade finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit is the signature flat matt appearance that offers exceptional color depth and a smooth, consistent application. While it provides a durable and long-lasting finish, users should note that the chalky nature of the paint may require careful handling and regular surface maintenance to prevent scuffing in high-traffic areas.

This emulsion is designed for general interior use; it is not recommended for bathrooms or high-humidity areas due to its flat matt, porous nature.
For best results and full depth of color, we recommend applying two coats, allowing adequate drying time between each.
The formula features low VOC content, which makes it a more modern, lower-odor choice for indoor spaces.
This paint is formulated primarily for walls and ceilings; for trim or woodwork, a more durable finish such as an eggshell or satin is generally preferred.
Store the container in a cool, dry place, ensuring the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the emulsion from drying out.
While it can be applied to most pre-painted surfaces, a primer is recommended for new plaster or highly porous surfaces to ensure proper adhesion.
Ensure you are using a high-quality medium-nap roller and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to dry.
Ensure the surface was thoroughly cleaned of dust and grease prior to painting; if the surface is too glossy, lightly sand it before application.
Apply a secondary coat once the first is completely dry, ensuring even application pressure across the entire surface.
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. If painting over a porous surface, apply a suitable primer to improve adhesion and color consistency. To maintain the finish, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners; if the wall requires cleaning, gently wipe the surface with a soft, damp cloth. The paint is compatible with most standard interior primers and can be applied over existing emulsion paints, provided they are sound and well-adhered. Always stir the paint thoroughly before and periodically during use to ensure the pigment is evenly distributed throughout the emulsion.
