Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Wall Paint in Stormy is ideal for homeowners seeking a sophisticated, muted grey with a lilac undertone for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is an ultra-matte, durable, and scrubbable finish that requires minimal preparation due to its self-priming and self-sealing properties. A potential caveat is that while versatile, it's not recommended for very wet areas like shower surrounds.

FAQs

What is the coverage of Frenchic Wall Paint?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. For optimal depth of colour and durability, two coats are recommended, meaning approximately 17.5m² coverage per 2.5l tin.

Does this paint require a primer or top coat?

No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning no separate primer or top coat is required for most surfaces.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Once cured, the paint is completely scrubbable (ISO11998 Class 1 Wet Scrub). Use a damp cloth for general cleaning and a mild detergent for tougher marks. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

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

What is the finish of the 'Stormy' colour?

The 'Stormy' colour provides an ultra-matte finish. It is described as a sophisticated grey with a subtle lilac nuance, reminiscent of thundery evening skies.

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and in children's rooms.

What are the environmental benefits of this paint?

It is a water-based paint with low VOCs (Volatile Organic Compounds) and virtually no odour, contributing to better indoor air quality during and after application.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering evenly

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred. Apply in thin, even coats. Check that you are using the recommended number of coats (two coats are advised for best results).

Difficulty cleaning the surface

Wait for the paint to fully cure (7-14 days). Use a soft, damp cloth with mild soap if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.

Uneven finish after application

This can sometimes occur if paint dries too quickly. Ensure consistent application strokes and a well-ventilated but not overly drafty room. If minor, a third coat might help even it out once fully cured.

Paint seems thicker than expected

Stir the paint vigorously. If it's very cold, allow the paint to come to room temperature before use. Do not add water unless specifically instructed for a specific application method.
