Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

This emulsion is designed for general interior use. For high-humidity environments, we recommend a specialized moisture-resistant paint.

Can I use this on wood surfaces?

This product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings; it is not recommended for wood or metal trim.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but exact times vary based on room temperature and humidity. Always check the touch-dry status before applying a second coat.

How do I calculate how much I need?

Measure the total square meterage of your walls and divide by the coverage rate specified on the product tin (typically 12-14 sqm per liter).

Is this paint safe for nurseries?

Yes, its low VOC formula makes it a safer, more environmentally friendly choice for residential spaces, including bedrooms and nurseries.

Do I need to sand between coats?

Generally, sanding is not required between coats unless you are trying to smooth out dust nibs or imperfections from the previous layer.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you maintain a 'wet edge' while painting and do not over-spread the paint once it begins to tack up.

Paint not adhering well

Check that the surface was properly cleaned and primed. Old, dusty, or greasy surfaces will prevent proper bonding.

Finish looks uneven

Ensure consistent mixing of the paint before application and apply uniform pressure with your roller.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated low-sheen aesthetic
  • Excellent coverage properties
  • Easy to apply with standard tools
  • Quick drying time
  • Low VOC formula

Cons

  • May highlight surface imperfections
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results
  • Not intended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint before application. If applying to bare plaster, ensure a suitable primer is used first to improve adhesion. For standard maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dust; avoid harsh chemical cleaners which could damage the finish. The paint is compatible with high-quality synthetic brushes and medium-pile rollers for optimal coverage.
