Product Information

Full details

This guide is for homeowners and decorators looking for a durable, easy-to-use, and aesthetically pleasing interior wall paint. The Frenchic Wall Paint in Ivory Tower White offers an ultra-matte finish with exceptional coverage and a highly scrubbable surface, minimizing prep work with its self-priming and self-sealing properties. A potential caveat is that while scrubbable once cured, it requires adequate curing time for full durability.

FAQs

Do I need to use a primer with this paint?

No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning no separate primer coat is required.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

It is suitable for general interior walls and ceilings. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower surrounds or bath areas.

How long does it take for the paint to be fully durable?

The paint is touch-dry relatively quickly, but it needs approximately 7-14 days to fully cure and achieve its maximum scrubbable finish.

What is the coverage rate?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² per coat. For best results and durability, two coats are recommended, covering approximately 17.5m² in total.

Is this paint safe for use around children?

Yes, the paint is water-based, low in VOCs, virtually odourless, and certified EN71-3, making it safe for use on children's toys and in children's rooms.

Can I paint over existing gloss paint?

While the paint is self-priming, for best adhesion on very slick surfaces like old gloss paint, a light sanding to de-glaze the surface is recommended before application.

Is there a paint with a different finish available?

Yes, Frenchic offers a matching soft-satin Trim Paint range that can be used on skirting boards, doors, and frames to complement the wall paint.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well

Ensure the surface is properly cleaned and dry before application. Remove any dust, grease, or old, peeling paint.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint with even, consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure good lighting to see application evenly. Consider using a high-quality roller or brush suitable for water-based paints.

Colour appears different after drying

Colours can look slightly different in various lighting conditions. Apply a second coat as recommended for better colour depth and consistency. Ensure adequate drying time between coats.

Scrubbing damages the paint

Ensure the paint has been fully cured (at least 7-14 days) before attempting to scrub. Use only mild soap and a soft cloth or sponge for cleaning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. No primer is required; the paint acts as its own primer and sealer.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, and interior uPVC. Avoid use in very wet areas such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds.

Care: Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7-14 days) before heavy cleaning. For regular cleaning, use a damp cloth or a soft sponge with mild soap. For tougher marks, a gentle scrub is possible due to its Class 1 Wet Scrub rating once cured. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
