Crown Breatheasy Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion Paint 2.5L - White

While suitable for most interior walls and ceilings, for high-humidity areas like bathrooms, we generally recommend paints specifically formulated with moisture and mold resistance for optimal long-term performance.

Typically, two coats are recommended for best results, especially if you are changing the color significantly or painting over an uneven surface. For very light color changes over a similar base, one coat may suffice, but two will provide deeper, more even coverage.

The paint is usually touch dry in 2-4 hours and can be recoated after 4-6 hours. Full hardness and durability may take a few days. Always refer to the specific instructions on your paint can, as drying times can vary with temperature and humidity.

As a matt finish, this paint is designed for durability but should be cleaned gently. Use a soft, damp cloth for light marks. Avoid scrubbing or abrasive cleaners, as this can 'burnish' or shine the matt surface.

If painting new plaster, bare surfaces, or over very dark/glossy previous paint, priming or applying a mist coat (a diluted first coat of the emulsion) is recommended to ensure proper adhesion and a uniform finish. For sound, previously painted matt surfaces, priming may not be necessary.

No, Crown Breatheasy Walls & Ceilings Matt Emulsion is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings. For woodwork or metal surfaces, you should use an appropriate paint designed for those materials.

Being 99% solvent-free means the paint contains very low levels of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). This results in a significantly reduced and less noticeable odor during and after painting, creating a more pleasant environment for users and occupants.

Ensure consistent paint application by not pressing too hard with the roller and maintaining a wet edge. Apply paint in even sections, overlapping slightly. Make sure the surface was properly primed and smooth before painting.

This is common with many paints, especially when covering a darker color with a lighter one. Apply a second coat after the recommended drying time. Ensure the paint was thoroughly stirred before and during use.

This usually indicates poor surface preparation. Ensure the surface is clean, dry, dust-free, and sound. Previously glossy surfaces should be dulled by sanding and primed if necessary. Old, flaking paint should be removed.

Ensure good ventilation in the room. Avoid applying paint too thickly. Humidity and low temperatures can also extend drying times; paint in moderate conditions.

While 99% solvent-free, a very faint odor might linger for a short period. Continue to ventilate the room for a few days after painting. The odor should dissipate completely.
