FAQs

What surfaces can I use this paint on?

This paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, including plaster, masonry, and previously painted surfaces that are in good condition.

How much area does one litre of paint cover?

One litre of Laura Ashley Matt Emulsion paint covers approximately 12 square meters.

Can I return this paint if I change my mind?

As this paint is mixed to order, it cannot be returned unless there is a quality issue with the product.

How do I clean paint spills or marks?

Clean brushes and tools immediately after use with water. For walls, gently wipe away marks with a damp cloth. Avoid vigorous scrubbing.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

This is a matt emulsion generally best suited for living areas, bedrooms, and hallways. For areas with high moisture or frequent cleaning needs like kitchens and bathrooms, a more durable finish like silk or satin might be preferable.

How should I prepare my walls before painting?

Ensure walls are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Fill any holes or cracks and lightly sand the surface for optimal adhesion.

Why is the paint mixed to order?

The paint is mixed to order to minimize waste and provide a fresher product. This approach is more eco-friendly.

Troubleshooting

Paint not covering evenly

Ensure the surface is properly prepared and primed. Stir the paint thoroughly before application. Apply in consistent, even coats, avoiding over-brushing. Consider a second coat after adequate drying time.

Color appears different from the sample

Colors can vary due to screen settings and lighting conditions. Always test a small area before committing to the full project. Ensure adequate lighting when assessing the final color.

Drying time seems excessively long

Drying times can be affected by humidity and temperature. Ensure the room is well-ventilated but avoid painting in very cold or damp conditions. Check the product packaging for specific drying time recommendations.

Paint leaving brush marks

Use a good quality brush appropriate for water-based paints. Apply paint with long, even strokes in one direction. Avoid overloading the brush and lay off the final coat gently.
