FAQs

Is this paint suitable for all kitchen surfaces?

This paint is designed for interior walls and ceilings in kitchen areas. It is not intended for floors or surfaces that will be constantly submerged in water.

How do I clean the painted surface?

The paint is wipeable. Use a damp cloth with a mild detergent if necessary. Avoid using abrasive cleaners which could damage the finish.

What are the specific requirements for spray application?

For spray application, it is essential to remove filters and use a nozzle size between 0.019X and 0.026X. Failure to do so may lead to blockages or an uneven finish.

Will this paint help reduce condensation?

The paint contains insulating technology that can help reduce heat loss, which may indirectly help manage condensation. It is also breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape.

How many coats of paint should I apply?

Two coats are generally recommended for best results, providing optimal coverage, durability, and protection.

What is the drying time between coats?

Drying time between coats is typically 2-4 hours, but always refer to the specific product instructions for the most accurate timing.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly prepared (clean, dry, free from grease) and that any previous glossy finishes were lightly sanded.

Uneven finish with brush/roller

Apply paint evenly, maintaining a wet edge to avoid lap marks. Use a good quality brush or roller. Consider a second coat after proper drying time.

Spray application issues (blockages, uneven spray)

Verify that filters have been removed and the nozzle size is within the recommended range (0.019X to 0.026X). Thin paint slightly if necessary, following guidelines for spray application.

Mould reappearing after painting

Ensure the underlying cause of mould (e.g., excessive condensation) has been addressed. The paint offers protection but may not fully resolve severe underlying issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Preparation:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and flaking paint. Lightly sand glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For new plaster, use a suitable primer.

Application:

  • Brush/Roller: Apply evenly using a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are generally recommended for optimal coverage and durability.
  • Spray Application: Crucially, remove existing filters from the spray gun. Increase the nozzle size to between 0.019X and 0.026X. Ensure adequate ventilation and mask off surrounding areas.

Drying Time: Allow adequate drying time between coats as per manufacturer instructions (typically 2-4 hours).

Compatibility: This is a water-based emulsion suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Not recommended for use on floors or areas of constant immersion.

Care: Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth and mild detergent if necessary. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
