Full details

FAQs

Can I use this on bathroom ceilings?

While it is durable, this paint is designed for general interior walls and ceilings. Check if your specific environment requires a dedicated anti-mould kitchen or bathroom paint.

How long does it take to dry?

The formula is quick-drying, but for the best finish, allow the manufacturer's recommended time between coats, typically a few hours.

Do I need a primer?

On previously painted surfaces that are in good condition, a primer is often not required. For raw plaster or highly porous surfaces, a mist coat or primer is recommended.

How do I clean the rollers after use?

Since it is a standard emulsion, most brushes and rollers can be cleaned using warm soapy water while the paint is still wet.

Is this paint suitable for exterior use?

No, this product is strictly for interior walls and ceilings.

Can I mix this with other paint brands?

It is not recommended to mix different brands or types of paint as this can negatively impact the chemical composition and finish.

Troubleshooting

Paint shows brush marks or streaks

Ensure you are using a high-quality synthetic brush and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Surface imperfections are visible after drying

Silk finishes reflect light; sand the wall smooth and fill any gouges or dents before applying a fresh coat.

Poor coverage or uneven color

Ensure the surface was primed if moving from a very dark color to a light one, and verify you are applying the recommended number of coats.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent light-reflecting properties
  • Highly scrub-resistant for long-term durability
  • Easy to apply with smooth consistency
  • Low-odour formula for indoor comfort
  • Fast drying time

Cons

  • High sheen may highlight wall surface imperfections
  • Requires careful surface preparation for best results
  • Not suitable for areas where a completely flat matte look is desired

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before painting, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust. For best results, use a high-quality roller or brush to avoid streaks.

Compatibility: This paint is designed specifically for interior walls and ceilings. It is compatible with most standard interior primers, though you should always test a small, inconspicuous area first if applying over existing oil-based paints.

Care: Once cured, the paint can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh abrasive cleaners that could dull the sheen over time.
