FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While formulated for kitchens, its moisture and mould-resistant properties make it a suitable choice for bathrooms with good ventilation.

How long does the paint need to dry between coats?

Drying times can vary based on temperature and humidity, but typically allow at least 2-4 hours between coats.

Can I paint over existing gloss paint?

Yes, but it's recommended to lightly sand the gloss surface to ensure proper adhesion of the new paint.

What is the best way to clean the paint once it's dry?

Use a soft cloth with warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers.

Does the insulating technology significantly reduce heating bills?

The insulating technology helps to reduce heat loss, contributing to a warmer room and potential minor energy savings. It is not a substitute for primary heating systems.

How do I prepare a surface for spray application?

For spray application, you must remove filters and increase the nozzle size to between 0.019X and 0.026X. Thinning may also be necessary.

What is the expected coverage per litre?

Coverage can vary, but typically expect around 10-12 square meters per litre per coat. Always refer to the product packaging for specific details.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned, degreased, and dry before application. If painting over a glossy surface, ensure it was adequately de-nibbed or primed.

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Apply paint evenly with consistent pressure. Avoid overworking the paint. Use a high-quality brush or roller and ensure even spreading. For spray application, ensure correct nozzle size and pressure.

Mould reappears after painting

Ensure the underlying cause of the mould (e.g., persistent dampness, poor ventilation) has been addressed. Clean the affected area thoroughly before repainting.

Difficulty cleaning stains

Allow paint to cure fully (typically 7 days) before attempting heavy cleaning. Use a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive cleaner. Stubborn stains may require gentle rubbing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable and long-lasting finish suitable for high-traffic areas.
  • Resistant to common kitchen contaminants like grease and stains.
  • Provides protection against mould and bacteria.
  • Offers energy-saving benefits through heat loss reduction.
  • Easy to clean and maintain.
  • Suitable for multiple application methods.

Cons

  • Requires specific nozzle size and filter removal for spray application.
  • Matt finish might show imperfections on uneven surfaces more readily than gloss.
  • Water-based, so may require multiple coats for optimal coverage depending on the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and loose paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. Apply a suitable primer if painting over a dark or stained surface.

Application:

  • Brush/Roller: Apply evenly using a good quality brush or roller. Stir thoroughly before and during use. Two coats are generally recommended for best results.
  • Spray: For spray application, filters must be removed, and the nozzle size should be increased to between 0.019X and 0.026X. Thinning may be required according to spray equipment manufacturer's instructions.

Compatibility: Suitable for use on interior walls and ceilings in kitchen areas.

Care: Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth and mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads which may damage the finish.
