The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Cream is a premium, low-VOC paint designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sophisticated, ultra-matt finish on walls and ceilings. This high-quality emulsion provides excellent, durable coverage with a distinctively smooth aesthetic that elevates the character of any living space. While it offers a professional-grade appearance, users should note that the chalky, porous nature of this finish may make it less suitable for high-traffic or high-moisture areas compared to glossier, wipeable alternatives.

The chalky finish is delicate. It can be wiped gently with a soft, dry or slightly damp cloth, but it is not designed for heavy scrubbing.
If you are painting over new or highly porous plaster, a mist coat or appropriate primer is highly recommended for best results.
The paint is touch-dry in 1-2 hours under normal conditions, with a recoat time of approximately 4 hours.
It is not recommended for bathrooms or high-humidity areas as the finish can be sensitive to moisture and condensation.
A 2.5L tin will typically cover up to 30 square meters per coat, depending on the porosity of your wall surface.
Yes, it is formulated with low VOC content, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly choice for interior spaces.
Ensure you are using a medium-pile roller and maintaining a 'wet edge' by not overloading the roller and overlapping strokes consistently.
Check that the surface was properly cleaned and primed. If the surface was greasy or dusty, the paint will not adhere correctly.
This often occurs on highly porous surfaces. Apply a primer or a mist coat first to ensure uniform absorption across the wall.
Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. If painting over new plaster or porous surfaces, a mist coat (watered-down paint) is recommended to seal the surface properly.
