Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Wall & Ceiling Matt Emulsion is an ideal choice for both professional decorators and DIY enthusiasts looking to achieve a modern, sophisticated aesthetic on interior surfaces. This high-quality paint offers excellent coverage and a smooth, creamy consistency that helps minimize surface imperfections, providing a flawless matte finish for walls and ceilings. While it is highly durable and wipeable for everyday maintenance, users should note that the matte finish may show scuffs more readily than high-gloss alternatives in extremely high-traffic areas.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

While it is durable and wipeable, it is primarily designed for general interior walls and ceilings. For rooms with high humidity or steam, consider a specialist moisture-resistant paint.

Can I use this on wood or metal?

No, this product is specifically formulated for wall and ceiling surfaces. Use appropriate wood or metal primers and topcoats for those materials.

How many coats do I need?

While it provides excellent coverage, two coats are generally recommended for the best color depth and finish, especially when covering darker colors.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is designed to dry quickly, but drying times can vary based on ambient temperature and humidity. It is best to allow at least 2-4 hours between coats.

Is it safe to use in a child's bedroom?

Yes, once fully dry, the paint is stable and safe for residential use.

Troubleshooting

Visible brush marks after drying

Ensure you are using a quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Paint peeling or flaking shortly after application

Check that the surface was properly cleaned and free of dust, grease, or moisture before painting.

Inconsistent coverage or patchy finish

Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before use and apply a consistent, even coat with a suitable roller.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent coverage hides surface imperfections
  • Easy to apply due to creamy consistency
  • Wipeable surface for easier maintenance
  • Dries quickly for efficient project completion
  • Sophisticated matte finish

Cons

  • Matte finish may be less resistant to heavy scuffs
  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like shower enclosures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, ensure your walls or ceilings are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material before application. If applying to new plaster, ensure it is fully cured and consider using a mist coat first. Use high-quality synthetic brushes or medium-pile rollers for application. For maintenance, wait until the paint has fully cured before attempting to clean; use a soft, damp cloth with a mild detergent to gently wipe away marks. Avoid using abrasive sponges, as these may damage the matte finish.
