Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is an ideal solution for DIY enthusiasts and professionals seeking a smooth, non-reflective finish for interior walls and ceilings. This high-quality paint offers excellent coverage and a hard-wearing surface that helps conceal minor imperfections, making it perfect for modern room updates. While it provides a durable and long-lasting coat, users should note that as a matte finish, it is best suited for areas where extreme scrubbability is not the primary requirement compared to high-sheen alternatives.

The paint typically dries to the touch within 1 to 2 hours, depending on room temperature and humidity.
While it is a hard-wearing paint, for areas prone to high moisture, consider if the surface will require frequent scrubbing, as matte finishes are softer than silk or gloss.
Its non-reflective finish is excellent at masking minor surface imperfections and small irregularities, though deep cracks should be filled and sanded first.
Yes, it can be applied over existing, sound paint. Ensure the old surface is clean, dry, and free from grease or dust.
Lightly wipe with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbing tools, as these can damage the matte finish.
Yes, the formulation is specifically designed for both walls and ceilings.
Ensure you are using a quality brush and avoid over-working the paint. Apply in long, even strokes.
Ensure the surface is properly primed or sealed before painting. Apply a second coat to achieve a uniform color depth.
This is often due to poor surface preparation. Ensure all loose debris is sanded away and the surface is clean and dry before repainting.
Before starting, ensure all surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose or flaking material. If painting onto new plaster, ensure it is fully cured before application. For best results, use a quality brush or roller and apply in even, light strokes. When cleaning up, ensure tools are washed in warm, soapy water immediately after use to prevent the paint from hardening on bristles or roller covers. Store the paint in a cool, dry place and ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the contents from drying out over time. It is compatible with most standard interior wall and ceiling surfaces, including previously painted plaster, lining paper, and plasterboard.
