Product Information

Full details

Frenchic Whistle Wall Paint in Grey is designed for homeowners seeking a sophisticated, durable, and easy-to-maintain finish for interior spaces. Its key benefit is its 'all-in-one' formulation, acting as a primer, paint, and topcoat. A minor consideration is its ultra-matte finish, which may not be preferred for high-sheen applications. This washable, breathable, chalk and mineral paint offers excellent coverage and a smooth, scrubbable finish suitable for walls, ceilings, and various surfaces including furniture and wooden floors.

FAQs

Do I need a primer and topcoat with Frenchic Whistle Wall Paint?

No, Frenchic Whistle Wall Paint is formulated as an all-in-one product that acts as a primer, paint, and topcoat, simplifying your decorating process.

How durable is the finish once dry?

Once cured, the paint achieves an ISO11998 Class 1 Wet Scrub rating, meaning it is highly durable and scrubbable, making it ideal for everyday use and easy cleaning.

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

It is suitable for interior walls, ceilings, wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. It is not recommended for very wet areas.

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

Yes, it is EN71-3 certified, which means it is safe for use on children's toys and in environments where children are present.

How much area does a 2.5l tin cover?

A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. Two coats are recommended for optimal colour depth and durability, covering approximately 17.5m².

What is the finish of this paint?

The paint provides an ultra-matte finish, which is subtle, soft, and sophisticated.

How do I clean the painted surface?

Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and a soft sponge or brush, then rinse with clean water. Allow to dry fully.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, and dry. Glossy surfaces should be lightly sanded. For difficult surfaces, a dedicated primer might be considered, though this paint is designed to be self-priming.

Streaky or uneven finish

Ensure the paint was applied evenly with consistent strokes. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage. Stir paint thoroughly before and during use.

Difficulty in cleaning

Ensure the paint has been allowed to cure fully (up to 14 days). Early cleaning attempts before curing may damage the finish. Use a damp cloth with mild soap; avoid abrasive cleaners.

Colour appears different than expected

Colours can appear differently under various lighting conditions and on different base colours. Ensure two coats have been applied for true colour depth. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Eliminates the need for separate primers and topcoats, simplifying the painting process.
  • Highly durable and easy to clean, making it ideal for high-traffic areas and family homes.
  • Low odour and low VOCs contribute to a healthier indoor environment.
  • Versatile application across many different interior surfaces.
  • Achieves a premium, sophisticated ultra-matte finish.
  • Certified safe for use on children's toys.

Cons

  • Ultra-matte finish may not be suitable for those preferring a gloss or satin sheen.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint. Lightly abrade glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings, wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Avoid use in very wet areas like showers or bath surrounds.

Application: Stir thoroughly before use. Apply with a brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for best results, allowing adequate drying time between coats. For optimal colour depth and durability, allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7-14 days) before attempting heavy scrubbing.

Care: Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent and a soft brush or sponge. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, especially before the paint has fully cured.
