FAQs

How much paint will I need?

Coverage is approximately 13m² per litre. Calculate the surface area of your walls and ceilings to determine the required paint volume.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While the paint is washable, for bathrooms, consider a paint specifically designed for high-moisture environments.

What tools do I need?

You'll need a paint brush or roller, paint tray, stirring stick, and possibly masking tape for edges.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying time is typically 2-4 hours, but allow 4 hours between coats for best results. Refer to the product label for specific instructions.

How do I clean my brushes and rollers?

Clean brushes and rollers immediately after use with warm, soapy water.

Can I apply this paint directly over wallpaper?

It is generally not recommended to paint directly over wallpaper. The wallpaper should be removed, and the surface prepared properly first.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings only.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or patches

Ensure the surface is properly prepared, and apply an even coat of paint. Multiple thin coats are better than one thick coat.

Paint not covering well

Apply a second coat, allowing the first coat to dry completely. Consider using a primer if painting over a dark colour.

Paint appears streaky

Use a good quality brush or roller. Apply an even amount of paint, avoiding over-brushing or over-rolling.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides a beautiful velvet matt finish.
  • Offers excellent coverage for efficient painting.
  • The paint is washable, making it easy to clean and maintain.
  • Low VOC content for improved indoor air quality.
  • Inspired by British design heritage, offering a classic aesthetic.

Cons

  • Requires proper surface preparation for optimal results.
  • May require multiple coats for certain colours or surfaces.
  • Velvet matt finish may show marks more easily than glossier finishes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Surface Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from loose particles. Fill any holes or cracks with a suitable filler and sand smooth.
  2. Priming: If painting over a previously painted surface, ensure the old paint is sound. For bare surfaces, or to improve adhesion and colour depth, a primer is recommended.
  3. Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply two coats for optimal coverage, allowing sufficient drying time between coats.
  4. Compatibility: Compatible with most common interior surfaces including plaster, drywall, and previously painted surfaces. Always test on a small, inconspicuous area first.
  5. Care: Clean up spills and splatters immediately with water. Wash the painted surface gently with a damp cloth; avoid abrasive cleaners.
