Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is designed for interior decorators and homeowners seeking a professional, sophisticated aesthetic with a classic matt finish. This high-quality paint excels in delivering a rich, flat appearance that conceals surface imperfections, though it is important to note that the chalky finish may be more prone to scuffing compared to higher-sheen alternatives like silk or satin.

FAQs

Can this paint be used in the kitchen or bathroom?

No, this emulsion is designed for interior dry spaces and is not formulated to withstand the high moisture levels found in kitchens and bathrooms.

How long does it take to dry?

While drying times vary based on temperature and humidity, the formula is quick-drying, generally allowing for a recoat within 2 to 4 hours.

Do I need to use a primer?

For previously painted surfaces in good condition, a primer may not be necessary. However, for porous, bare, or patched surfaces, a quality primer is recommended to ensure even color.

How should I clean my brushes after use?

Since this is a water-based emulsion, you can clean your brushes and rollers using warm, soapy water immediately after application.

Is this paint durable enough for a hallway?

Because matt finishes can scuff easily, it is generally recommended to use this in lower-traffic areas. For high-traffic hallways, a more durable, wipeable finish is usually preferred.

Troubleshooting

Paint appears patchy or streaky after drying.

Ensure you are using the correct pile roller for your surface and avoid over-spreading the paint; apply a second coat once the first is completely dry.

The paint is peeling or bubbling.

This is often caused by moisture or improper surface preparation; ensure the wall is fully cured and free of contaminants before reapplying.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, non-reflective matt appearance
  • Fast drying time for efficient room turnover
  • Low VOC levels for improved indoor air quality
  • Excellent opacity and coverage for a smooth finish

Cons

  • Matt finish is more susceptible to scuff marks
  • Not intended for high-moisture areas like bathrooms
  • Requires careful cleaning due to the chalky texture

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over new or highly absorbent surfaces, apply a suitable primer to ensure even adhesion. Use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-pile roller for the best results. For maintenance, avoid scrubbing the walls; instead, gently wipe with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface marks. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the formula from drying out.
