Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this paint in bathrooms?

While it is a durable emulsion, it is primarily intended for standard interior walls; check product data if high-moisture resistance is required.

Is this paint suitable for ceilings?

Yes, its low-sheen finish is excellent for ceilings, as it helps hide imperfections and provides a uniform look.

Do I need a primer?

On previously painted surfaces in good condition, a primer is not strictly necessary, but new or bare surfaces should always be primed or mist-coated.

How long does it take to dry?

Under normal conditions, it is touch-dry quickly, but check the back of the tin for specific recoat times, usually a few hours.

Is this paint low VOC?

Yes, it is formulated with low VOC content to help reduce indoor air emissions.

How should I clean my brushes?

Because it is water-based, you can simply wash brushes and rollers with warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Troubleshooting

Paint is streaky or showing roller marks

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller sleeve and maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the product to level properly.

Paint is peeling shortly after application

This is often due to an improperly prepared surface. Ensure all loose debris, grease, or previous flaking paint is removed before starting.

Low coverage on new plaster

New plaster is highly absorbent. Apply a thinned mist coat as a primer before applying the full-strength finish coats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Professional-grade quality for consistent results
  • Easy water-based cleanup
  • Low VOC formulation
  • Excellent washability and long-term durability
  • Smooth, uniform application

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for best results
  • Matte finish may highlight deep texture if not primed
  • Not intended for high-gloss applications

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best outcome, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust or grease before application. If you are painting on porous surfaces like new plaster, it is recommended to apply a mist coat first by diluting the paint slightly with water. Always stir the paint thoroughly before use. For maintenance, avoid using harsh abrasive cleaners on the finished surface; a soft cloth with mild soapy water is generally sufficient for keeping the walls clean. Store the container in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the emulsion from drying out.
