FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?

This emulsion is intended for dry interior rooms. It is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms or kitchens where moisture and condensation are common.

How many coats are typically required?

While it offers excellent coverage, two coats are generally recommended to achieve the true depth of color and the desired chalky finish.

Is this paint low in VOCs?

Yes, it is formulated with low VOC content, making it a more environmentally friendly choice for your home.

What tools should I use for application?

Use a good quality synthetic bristle brush for cutting in and a medium-pile microfiber roller for the walls to ensure a smooth, even application.

How do I remove marks from the finish?

Use a soft, damp cloth to lightly blot the area. Do not scrub hard, as the chalky finish can be easily burnished.

Does it need a primer?

If you are painting over previously painted sound walls, a primer may not be necessary. However, for new plaster or porous surfaces, a mist coat or primer is highly recommended.

Troubleshooting

Streaking during application

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and maintaining a 'wet edge' by not over-spreading the paint.

Paint peeling or flaking

This is often due to poor surface preparation; ensure the wall was sanded and cleaned of all dust prior to application.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-quality, professional matte aesthetic
  • Rapid drying time increases efficiency
  • Environmentally conscious low VOC formula
  • Superior opacity ensures great coverage

Cons

  • Chalky finish can be more susceptible to scuffing
  • Requires careful preparation for best adhesion
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation is key when using this emulsion. Ensure your surfaces are clean, dry, and free of loose paint or dust. If you are painting onto fresh plaster, ensure it is fully cured and use a suitable primer first.

  • Application: Use a brush or roller. Stir thoroughly before use.
  • Compatibility: Ideal for use on plaster, drywall, and correctly primed wood.
  • Care: Avoid harsh scrubbers when cleaning the walls. If a mark occurs, use a soft, damp cloth and gentle dabbing motions to prevent burnishing the chalky surface.
