Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is designed for homeowners and interior designers seeking a sophisticated, professional-grade finish for interior walls. Its primary benefit is the iconic, soft, chalky aesthetic that adds character to any room, paired with a modern, quick-drying, and low-VOC formulation. While it offers excellent coverage, users should note that the matte finish is more porous than gloss alternatives, making it less suitable for high-traffic areas prone to frequent scuffing or heavy scrubbing.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a kitchen?

This paint is designed for interior walls. While it can be used in a kitchen, it is not recommended for areas subject to frequent splashes or high steam levels.

How many coats are typically needed?

Most projects require two coats to achieve full color depth and an even finish, depending on the underlying surface color.

Is this paint low-odor?

Yes, as a low-VOC product, it has a reduced odor compared to traditional solvent-based paints, making it more comfortable to use indoors.

How do I clean brushes used with this paint?

Since this is an emulsion-based paint, you can generally clean your brushes and rollers using warm, soapy water.

Can this paint be applied over wallpaper?

If the wallpaper is firmly adhered, in good condition, and non-porous, it can be painted, but testing a small area first is always recommended.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you are using the correct nap length for your roller and avoid overworking the paint once it begins to set.

Paint not adhering to the wall

Check that the surface was thoroughly cleaned of dust and oils before application; use a primer if the wall is particularly porous.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated matte aesthetic
  • Rapid drying time
  • Low VOC formulation
  • High opacity for better coverage

Cons

  • Matte finish can be difficult to touch up
  • Less resistant to scrubbing than satin or gloss paints
  • Not suitable for high-moisture areas like bathrooms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure your walls are free from dust, grease, and loose debris before application. For best results, use a high-quality synthetic brush or a medium-nap microfiber roller. If you are painting over a high-contrast or porous surface, apply a dedicated primer first to maintain color consistency. After painting, allow the walls to cure fully before attempting any light cleaning. If maintenance is required, use a soft, damp cloth to gently blot the area—avoid abrasive sponges or harsh chemical cleaners, as these can alter the matte texture and burnish the finish.
