Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Wall Paint in Steel Teal is designed for DIY enthusiasts and homeowners seeking a durable, easy-to-use, and aesthetically pleasing finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the ultra-matte, washable surface that requires minimal preparation due to its self-priming and self-sealing properties, saving time and effort. A potential caveat is that achieving the best depth of colour and durability may require two coats, impacting coverage calculations.

FAQs

How much surface area does a 2.5l tin cover?

A 2.5l tin will cover up to 35m² with a single coat. For optimal depth of colour and durability, two coats are recommended, providing coverage of approximately 17.5m².

Do I need to use a primer or top coat with this paint?

No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you do not need to apply a separate primer or top coat, simplifying your preparation and application process.

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms or kitchens?

While the paint is washable and scrubbable, it is primarily designed for walls and ceilings. For areas with high humidity or constant moisture, consider Frenchic's specialized ranges if available, or ensure good ventilation.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Recoat times are typically 2-4 hours. However, the paint needs to cure fully for maximum durability, which can take up to 7 days. Avoid heavy cleaning until fully cured.

Can I use this paint on wooden floors?

Yes, this paint is suitable for interior wooden floors, but it is not designed for high-traffic areas that experience heavy wear and tear. For very high-traffic floors, consider a more durable floor-specific coating.

What is the warranty period for Frenchic Paints?

Information regarding specific warranty periods is best obtained directly from the retailer or Frenchic, as it can vary by region and purchase date.

Is the 'Steel Teal' colour consistent across different batches?

Frenchic aims for colour consistency, but it's always advisable to check the batch number on the tins. If using multiple tins for a large project, it's recommended to mix them together in a larger container to ensure uniformity.

Troubleshooting

Paint is not adhering well or is peeling.

Ensure the surface was properly prepared and free from dust, grease, or incompatible finishes. Re-sand and clean the surface before reapplication.

Uneven finish or visible brush/roller marks.

Ensure the paint is adequately stirred and applied in thin, even coats. Maintain a wet edge while painting to avoid lap marks. Allow proper drying time between coats.

Colour appears different than expected.

The appearance of matte paint can be affected by lighting. Ensure two coats have been applied as recommended for full colour depth. Check the batch number for consistency if multiple tins were used.

Difficulty cleaning stubborn marks.

Allow the paint to cure fully for at least 7 days. Use a mild soap solution and a soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or excessive scrubbing which can damage the finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or flaking paint. While the paint is self-priming, any loose or damaged existing coatings should be removed. Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply with a good quality synthetic brush or roller.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also compatible with wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles. Not recommended for exterior use or surfaces subject to constant heavy wear and moisture.

Care: Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7 days) before aggressive cleaning. For routine cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a sponge with mild soap and water, wiping gently. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, which can damage the ultra-matte finish.
