Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion in Pale Cashmere is an ideal choice for homeowners and interior decorators seeking a sophisticated, ultra-flat matt finish for interior walls and ceilings. This high-quality paint offers excellent coverage and a durable surface, though its highly porous finish means it may be more susceptible to scuffs in high-traffic areas compared to glossier alternatives.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, the Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings only.

Can I use this in a bathroom?

It is not recommended. The matte finish is porous and may absorb moisture, which can lead to mold or surface damage in humid environments.

How many coats are typically required?

While the paint has high opacity, two full coats are recommended to achieve the true depth of color and an even finish.

How long until I can touch the wall?

The paint is quick-drying to the touch, but it is best to allow at least 24 hours for the paint to fully cure before placing furniture against it.

Can I clean marks off the wall?

Lightly dabbing with a damp cloth is acceptable, but avoid scrubbing as the matte finish can be sensitive to abrasion.

Do I need a primer?

If painting over bare plaster or significantly porous surfaces, a mist coat or appropriate primer is highly recommended to ensure uniform absorption.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you are maintaining a 'wet edge' by not over-working the paint and always rolling in the same direction.

Paint finish appears uneven

Verify that the surface was properly primed or sealed before painting, as uneven porosity in the wall can cause patchiness.

Paint is bubbling during application

This is often caused by over-rolling the paint; switch to a slower, more deliberate stroke and ensure the roller cover is not overly saturated.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, ultra-flat aesthetic
  • Low odor formulation for easier application
  • Rapid drying time increases project efficiency
  • Hides minor surface wall irregularities

Cons

  • Matte finish can be harder to clean than satin or gloss
  • Not recommended for high-traffic or moisture-prone areas
  • Limited to interior wall and ceiling use only

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Fill any cracks or holes with a suitable filler and sand smooth. Apply the paint using a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller for best results. When painting, maintain a steady room temperature between 10°C and 25°C to ensure optimal drying. For care, avoid harsh chemical cleaners. If marks appear, lightly dab with a clean, damp microfiber cloth, but avoid scrubbing, as the soft chalky finish can be burnished if rubbed too aggressively.
