Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Cream is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a high-end, sophisticated aesthetic for interior walls.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

Due to its chalky matte finish, it is not recommended for high-moisture areas where frequent cleaning is required.

Can I use this paint on woodwork?

This emulsion is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings; it is not intended for use on wood or metal.

How many coats are typically required?

Usually, two coats are sufficient for a perfect finish, though deep color changes may occasionally require a third.

What is the VOC content?

The paint features a low-VOC formulation, making it a more environmentally friendly choice for residential interiors.

How long should I wait between coats?

Refer to the drying time on the packaging, but generally, allow at least 2-4 hours depending on room temperature and humidity.

Troubleshooting

Streaky finish after first coat

Ensure the surface was properly primed and use a high-quality roller; apply a second coat once the first is fully dry.

Paint is drying too quickly during application

Work in smaller sections and avoid painting in direct, strong sunlight or high-heat environments.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated and elegant chalky aesthetic
  • Environmentally conscious low-VOC formulation
  • Excellent opacity for efficient coverage
  • Rapid drying times for faster project completion

Cons

  • Matte finish can be more difficult to scrub than higher sheen paints
  • Requires careful preparation for best results
  • Premium product reflects in price point compared to standard emulsions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or grease. For optimal results, apply a suitable primer to bare plaster or porous surfaces. Stir the paint thoroughly before use and apply at temperatures above 10 degrees Celsius. When cleaning, avoid harsh scrubbing, as the matte finish is susceptible to burnishing; instead, gently wipe surfaces with a soft, damp microfiber cloth. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the product from drying out.
