Product Information

Full details

The Farrow & Ball No.211 Stony Ground Modern Emulsion paint is designed for homeowners seeking a durable, sophisticated finish in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas like kitchens and bathrooms. Its key benefit is a washable, scuff-resistant, and mould-resistant formulation that maintains aesthetic appeal. A potential caveat is its specific colour profile, which, while versatile, may require careful consideration for existing decor. This water-based paint offers excellent coverage and a low-VOC, low-odour application, providing a warm, stone-like neutral hue ideal for creating cohesive interior schemes.

FAQs

What is the difference between Modern Emulsion and Estate Emulsion?

Modern Emulsion is a more durable, washable, and scrubbable finish, ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and high-traffic areas. Estate Emulsion has a chalkier, more matte finish, typically used in lower-traffic living areas and bedrooms.

How much area does one tin of Farrow & Ball Stony Ground paint cover?

A 2.5-litre tin of Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion typically covers up to 35m² on average, depending on the surface and application method.

Can I use Stony Ground paint in a bathroom?

Yes, Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion is ideal for bathrooms due to its washable, scuff-resistant, and mould-resistant properties.

Is Farrow & Ball Stony Ground a grey or beige colour?

Stony Ground is described as a classic stone colour with a slight underlying red, creating a warm, soft beige finish. It is categorized under the Grey family by Farrow & Ball but presents as a warm neutral.

How do I clean painted walls with Modern Emulsion?

Walls painted with Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion can be cleaned gently with a soft, damp cloth or sponge and a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What kind of primer should I use with this paint?

For best results, use Farrow & Ball's recommended primers and undercoats. For new or porous surfaces, their Depth Primer & Undercoat is advised. For previously painted surfaces, a suitable primer based on the existing finish is recommended.

Does this paint have a strong smell?

No, Farrow & Ball Modern Emulsion is a water-based paint that is low in VOCs, meaning it has very little odour during application and drying.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well to the surface.

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants. Use an appropriate primer, especially on new or porous surfaces.

Uneven colour or brush marks visible.

Stir paint thoroughly before and during use. Apply in even strokes, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Ensure adequate lighting during application.

Low sheen or patchy finish.

This can occur if not enough coats are applied or if the paint is applied too thinly. Ensure the recommended number of coats (typically two) are applied evenly. Check for proper stirring.

Mould growth appearing despite using the paint.

While mould-resistant, extreme conditions may still allow for growth. Ensure adequate ventilation in the room. Clean affected areas and reapply paint if necessary, addressing the underlying cause of excessive moisture.

Care:

To clean, use a soft damp cloth or sponge with a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
