FAQs
What kind of surfaces can I paint with this emulsion?
This paint is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, plasterboard, and most sound, previously painted surfaces.
How many coats will I need?
Typically, two coats will provide optimal coverage, especially when painting over a contrasting colour. However, one coat might suffice for a refresh over a similar shade. Always allow sufficient drying time between coats. *Info needed: Specific drying time between coats.*
Is this paint washable?
Matt emulsion paints are generally less washable than silk or soft sheen finishes. For minor marks, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth without scrubbing. *Info needed: Specific washability classification for this product.*
What is 'Breatheasy' formula?
The 'Breatheasy' formula signifies that the paint has a low volatile organic compound (VOC) content and is virtually odour-free, contributing to a more pleasant painting environment with fewer fumes.
How do I clean my painting tools?
Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm water and a little detergent until all paint residue is removed. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry.
How much area will 5 litres cover?
*Info needed: Exact coverage per litre is typically stated on the can. As a general guide, 5 litres of emulsion paint typically covers approximately 50-60 square metres with one coat, but this can vary depending on surface porosity and texture.*
Troubleshooting
Uneven finish or streaks after drying.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, smooth, primed if necessary). Apply paint in even, consistent strokes, avoiding overworking the paint. Apply sufficient coats, allowing adequate drying time between each.
Poor coverage, original colour showing through.
Stir the paint thoroughly before and during use to ensure pigments are well dispersed. Apply a second or even third coat if necessary, especially when painting over strong or dark colours. Ensure the surface isn't overly absorbent, using a primer if needed.
Paint appears to be drying too slowly or not at all.
Ensure adequate ventilation in the room by opening windows and doors. Maintain a suitable room temperature (not too cold or humid). Avoid applying excessively thick coats.
Faint lines or roller marks visible.
Use a good quality roller and apply paint evenly. Finish rolling in one direction (e.g., top to bottom) for a uniform texture. Do not apply too much pressure on the roller, which can push paint to the edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup
Prepare the Area: Clear the room, cover furniture and floors with dust sheets, and tape off skirting boards, architraves, and other areas not to be painted.
Surface Cleaning: Ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and sound. Remove any flaking paint or wallpaper. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to create a key.
Priming (Optional but Recommended): For bare plaster or new dry lining, apply a dedicated plaster primer or a thinned first coat of this emulsion to seal the surface.
Opening the Can: Carefully open the paint can and stir the contents thoroughly to ensure colour consistency.
Compatibility
Surfaces: Compatible with interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, plasterboard, and previously painted surfaces (ensure they are clean and sound).
Not Recommended For: Woodwork, metal, floors, or surfaces requiring a highly durable, scrubbable, or moisture-resistant finish (e.g., bathrooms/kitchens without specific moisture resistance stated).
Care
Tool Cleaning: Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm water.
Paint Storage: Store leftover paint in its original container, tightly sealed, in a cool, dry place away from frost and direct sunlight. Ensure the lid is securely replaced to prevent skinning.
Painted Surface Care: For general cleaning of the painted surface, gently wipe with a lightly damp, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, as matt finishes can be prone to burnishing or showing marks if aggressively cleaned. *Info needed: For specific washability/durability instructions.*
