Product Information

Full details

Mylands St James No.40 is a premium, green-toned off-white paint designed for homeowners and decorators looking for a subtle, airy finish in interior spaces. Based on a historical 1835 wallpaper palette, this emulsion offers excellent durability and washability, making it suitable for high-traffic areas like hallways and kitchens. While it excels in brightness and aesthetic appeal, users should note that as a matte-finish product, it is best suited for application on walls and ceilings rather than high-wear surfaces like trim or floors.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While it is durable and washable, it is primarily designed as an interior wall and ceiling emulsion; it may not withstand constant direct water contact found in shower enclosures.

Does this paint contain high levels of VOCs?

No, this product is formulated as a Low VOC paint, making it a more eco-friendly choice for your home.

Can I use this on wood or trim?

This specific variant is formulated for walls and ceilings. For trim and high-wear surfaces, consider a dedicated multi-surface eggshell or gloss paint.

How many coats are typically needed?

For optimal coverage and color depth, two coats are generally recommended, especially when covering a previous contrasting colour.

Is the finish completely flat?

It is a Marble Matt finish, which provides a sophisticated, low-sheen aesthetic while remaining durable enough for cleaning.

What is the best way to clean scuffs off the wall?

Use a soft, damp cloth or a damp melamine sponge. Gently wipe the affected area; the scuff-resistant formula should allow for easy removal of surface marks.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you are using the correct pile length roller and avoid 'over-working' the paint once it begins to set.

Paint not adhering well to the surface

Check that the wall was properly cleaned and primed. Residual grease or dust often causes adhesion failure.

Finish looks uneven or patchy

Apply a second coat once the first is completely dry, ensuring consistent application thickness across the entire wall.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, historical colour profile
  • Excellent washability for high-traffic areas
  • Airy and bright finish that expands the feel of small rooms
  • Eco-friendly and low VOC
  • Professional-grade durability

Cons

  • Matte finish requires more care than glossier alternatives
  • Limited to interior wall and ceiling applications
  • Requires careful preparation of surfaces for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best finish, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or loose paint before application. If you are painting over a darker colour, a high-quality primer may be necessary to ensure uniform coverage. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or roller designed for water-based emulsions to maintain the integrity of the paint's texture.

For ongoing care, keep surfaces clean by gently wiping with a damp, non-abrasive cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or scouring pads, as these can dull the matte finish over time. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
