Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Silk Emulsion Paint is designed for homeowners looking to achieve a professional, silky-smooth finish on interior walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit lies in its high durability and scrub-resistant properties, making it an excellent choice for high-traffic living areas. One caveat to keep in mind is that the high-sheen finish can highlight imperfections on wall surfaces, so thorough preparation and smoothing of the substrate are recommended before application.

FAQs

Can I use this paint on ceilings?

Yes, Johnstone's Silk Emulsion is specifically formulated for both walls and ceilings.

Is this paint low in VOCs?

Yes, it features a low VOC formula, making it a safer and more environmentally friendly choice for your home.

How long does it take to dry?

While drying times vary based on environment, the quick-drying formula allows for relatively fast recoating.

Should I use a primer on bare plaster?

Yes, applying a primer or mist coat is recommended on bare or porous surfaces to ensure the best finish and coverage.

Is this paint washable?

It is highly durable and scrub-resistant, making it easy to clean with a damp cloth when necessary.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaking

Ensure you are using the correct roller sleeve and maintain a 'wet edge' by not over-spreading the paint.

Paint peeling or flaking shortly after application

This often occurs due to poor surface preparation; ensure the wall was clean, dry, and free of loose debris before painting.

Uneven finish or patches

Apply a second coat to ensure complete coverage, ensuring the first coat has fully dried before proceeding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure your walls are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over glossy surfaces, sand them down lightly to provide a 'key' for the new paint. For porous or bare plaster surfaces, apply a suitable primer first to prevent uneven absorption. During application, keep the room well-ventilated to assist with drying. Once the painting is complete, clean brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water while the paint is still wet. To maintain the finish, use a soft, damp cloth for occasional cleaning, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners that may compromise the silk sheen.
