Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Walls & Ceilings Silk Emulsion Paint in Cream is designed for homeowners looking to achieve a sophisticated, light-reflecting finish on interior surfaces. Its key benefits include a highly durable, scrub-resistant surface that stands up to daily wear while remaining easy to apply; however, users should note that the silk finish highlights surface imperfections more readily than a flat matte paint, necessitating thorough wall preparation for the best results.

FAQs

Can this paint be used on ceilings?

Yes, the silk emulsion is formulated for both walls and ceilings, providing a reflective quality that can make rooms feel brighter.

How many coats do I need?

While the paint offers excellent coverage, two coats are generally recommended for the most uniform and durable finish.

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

While it is scrub-resistant and durable, it is not specifically marketed as a high-moisture kitchen or bathroom paint; consider specialized moisture-resistant coatings for high-humidity environments.

How should I store leftover paint?

Ensure the lid is tightly sealed and store in a cool, dry place away from extreme temperatures or frost.

Can I use this over old gloss paint?

You should lightly sand any glossy or high-sheen surface to provide a 'key' for the new paint to adhere to, followed by a thorough clean.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks or uneven texture

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid overworking the paint. Apply a second coat once the first is completely dry for better leveling.

Finish looks uneven or patchy

This is often caused by poor surface preparation or not stirring the paint properly. Ensure walls are primed if necessary and stir the tin thoroughly before and during use.

Paint is bubbling during application

This is usually caused by painting over an improperly prepared surface or rolling too quickly. Ensure the surface is clean and dry, and use a steady, slower motion with the roller.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and resistant to scrubbing
  • Provides a sophisticated, silky aesthetic
  • Easy to apply with standard tools
  • Quick-drying properties for faster project completion
  • Low odour formula for improved air quality during application

Cons

  • Silk sheen can highlight bumps or uneven surfaces
  • Requires careful surface preparation
  • Not suitable for areas requiring a completely non-reflective matte finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, stir the paint thoroughly to ensure uniform pigment distribution. For optimal adhesion, apply to surfaces that have been properly sanded and cleared of dust.

  • Tools: Use high-quality synthetic brushes and medium-pile rollers for best results.
  • Temperature: Apply in temperatures between 10C and 30C to ensure consistent drying times.
  • Care: Allow the paint to fully cure for several days before attempting any wet cleaning. Once cured, use a soft cloth or sponge with mild soapy water to remove scuffs or stains, taking care not to use abrasive pads that might dull the sheen.
