Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Silk Emulsion Paint is an ideal choice for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to revitalize interior walls and ceilings with a sophisticated, light-reflecting finish. This high-quality emulsion offers a durable, scrub-resistant surface that stands up to daily wear, making it perfect for high-traffic rooms. While it provides excellent coverage and a smooth aesthetic, users should be aware that the silk finish will highlight imperfections in wall surfaces, meaning thorough preparation is key for the best results.

FAQs

Can I use this on ceilings?

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

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

Its durable and scrub-resistant properties make it suitable for many interior rooms, though ensure the area has proper ventilation.

How long does it take to dry?

It is a quick-drying formula, typically touch-dry within a few hours, though drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity.

Do I need a primer?

If you are painting over a clean, sound surface, a primer may not be necessary, but bare or porous surfaces should be primed first.

How do I clean the finished walls?

Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soapy water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you are using the correct pile length for your roller and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to dry.

Paint is not covering imperfections

Silk finishes reflect light, making bumps visible. Sand the wall smooth and use a filler before applying your base coat.

Paint appears patchy

Ensure the surface is properly primed and that you apply consistent, even coats, allowing sufficient drying time between applications.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and resistant to scrubbing
  • Light-reflecting finish enhances room brightness
  • Quick-drying properties for faster project turnover
  • Low-odour formula is pleasant for interior use

Cons

  • Sheen can highlight wall imperfections or uneven surfaces
  • Requires careful preparation of substrates
  • May require multiple coats for full depth of color

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before you begin, ensure your surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or loose flaking paint. If applying over previously painted walls, a light sanding is recommended to improve adhesion. For bare or porous surfaces, use a suitable primer to ensure uniform coverage.

To clean your tools, wash brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use to prevent the paint from hardening. To maintain your walls, simply wipe with a soft, damp cloth and a mild detergent; avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemicals that could dull the silk finish.
