Product Information

Full details

Designed for homeowners seeking a sophisticated, refreshed interior, Johnstone's Silk Emulsion Paint offers a durable, light-reflecting finish that brings elegance to walls and ceilings. This paint is ideal for those who value both aesthetic appeal and practical longevity, thanks to its high sheen and scrub-resistant properties. While it provides excellent coverage and a smooth application, users should note that the high-sheen finish can highlight surface imperfections if walls are not properly prepped before painting.

FAQs

Can this paint be used on ceilings?

Yes, Johnstone's Silk Emulsion is specifically formulated for both walls and ceilings.

Is this paint low odour?

Yes, it features a low-odour formula, making it much more pleasant to use in occupied homes compared to traditional paints.

How do I clean the walls after painting?

Because it is scrub-resistant, you can gently wipe the surface with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Do I need a primer?

If you are painting over a clean, previously painted surface, you may not need a primer. However, for porous or new plaster, a mist coat or primer is recommended.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but exact times vary by room temperature and humidity. Always check the tin for specific recoat intervals.

Troubleshooting

Paint finish appears uneven or patchy

Ensure the surface was primed correctly and apply a second coat once the first is fully dry to achieve uniform coverage.

Visible roller marks on the wall

Maintain a 'wet edge' while painting and ensure you are not over-spreading the paint; use a high-quality roller sleeve.

Paint is not adhering to the surface

Clean the surface thoroughly to remove grease or dust, and sand glossy surfaces to create a profile for the paint to grip.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent light-reflecting properties
  • Highly durable and scrub-resistant
  • Easy to apply with brushes or rollers
  • Low odour formula is great for indoor use
  • Provides a sophisticated, silky smooth finish

Cons

  • High sheen may highlight uneven wall textures
  • Not suitable for areas requiring a completely flat matte look
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before you begin, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or loose material. If painting over existing gloss or high-sheen surfaces, a light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller for the best finish.

For care and maintenance, allow the paint to fully cure according to the recommended timeframes before attempting to scrub the surface. When cleaning, use a soft cloth with mild soapy water; avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scouring pads, as these can dull the sheen over time.
