Product Information

Full details

The Craig & Rose 1829 Chalky Emulsion is ideal for homeowners and interior designers looking to achieve a sophisticated, matte finish on interior walls. It offers the key benefit of a smooth, timeless aesthetic paired with a low-VOC, quick-drying formula that minimizes indoor air disruption. While it provides excellent coverage, users should note that the chalky finish may require extra care to avoid scuffs in very high-traffic areas like hallways or playrooms.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for kitchens or bathrooms?

This emulsion is primarily designed for low-traffic living spaces and is not recommended for high-humidity areas like bathrooms.

How long should I wait between coats?

Due to its quick-drying formula, most users find it ready for a second coat in 2-4 hours, though drying times depend on room temperature and humidity.

Can I use this on wood or metal?

This product is specifically formulated for interior wall surfaces and is not intended for use on wood or metal fixtures.

How do I clean brushes used with this paint?

Clean tools immediately after use with warm, soapy water while the paint is still wet.

How many square meters does one 2.5L tin cover?

Coverage typically averages around 10-12 square meters per liter, though this can vary based on surface porosity and application technique.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using the correct roller sleeve nap and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Check that the surface was properly cleaned and primed before application; remove any loose or flaky paint.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated matte aesthetic
  • Low VOCs improve indoor air safety
  • Fast drying time for faster project turnaround
  • Professional-grade coverage and finish

Cons

  • Matte finish can be more susceptible to scuffing
  • Limited to interior use only
  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. Fill any cracks with an appropriate filler and sand smooth before applying a primer if necessary. The emulsion is compatible with most standard interior plaster or masonry surfaces. For care, gently wipe walls with a soft, slightly damp cloth if cleaning is needed. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or abrasive sponges, as these can damage the delicate matte surface. Always store the tin in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly secured to prevent the paint from drying out.
