Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in White is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sophisticated, ultra-flat matt finish for interior walls and ceilings. This premium paint delivers exceptional depth and color clarity, transforming standard surfaces into elegant, character-rich spaces. While it offers superior coverage and a quick-drying formula, users should note that the flat finish may be less forgiving on walls that have significant texture or imperfections compared to higher-sheen paints.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

This paint is best suited for dry living areas. It is not recommended for high-humidity environments like bathrooms or kitchens where moisture and condensation are common.

Can I use this on wood or trim?

This emulsion is specifically formulated for walls and ceilings. It is not designed to provide the durability required for woodwork or high-traffic trim.

How many coats are typically required?

While the paint has high opacity, we recommend two coats for the most uniform, professional finish and maximum color depth.

What is the best way to clean my brushes after use?

Since this is a water-based emulsion, you can clean your brushes and rollers thoroughly with warm, soapy water.

Is the finish washable?

While the paint can withstand light cleaning, the flat matt finish is delicate. Avoid harsh scrubbing to prevent burnishing or removing the paint film.

How long should I wait between coats?

Drying times vary by room temperature and humidity, but generally, you should wait 2-4 hours before applying the second coat.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks or roller streaks

Ensure you are using high-quality tools and maintaining a 'wet edge' during application to allow the paint to self-level properly.

Poor coverage after one coat

Ensure the surface has been properly primed, especially if painting over a dark color, and allow the first coat to dry fully before applying the second.

The finish looks patchy

This is often caused by uneven application or surface porosity; ensure the wall is sealed with a primer before applying the final coats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers a high-end, contemporary flat matt aesthetic
  • Low VOC formulation improves indoor air quality
  • Excellent opacity ensures great coverage
  • Dries quickly for faster project turnaround
  • Ideal for both walls and ceilings

Cons

  • Matte finishes can show scuffs more easily than gloss alternatives
  • Requires careful preparation of the wall surface for best results
  • Limited wipeability compared to durable kitchen or bathroom paints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint, dust, or grease. If painting over fresh plaster, use an appropriate primer to seal the surface. Apply the paint using a synthetic brush for cutting in and a medium-pile roller for main wall areas. To maintain the finish, avoid aggressive scrubbing; use a soft, damp cloth for light dusting or gentle spot cleaning. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the emulsion from drying out between uses.
