FAQs

How do I prepare my walls before painting?

Walls should be clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, and old flaking paint. Lightly sand any glossy surfaces to improve adhesion.

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

While designed for kitchens with its moisture and mould resistance, it is generally suitable for bathrooms as well due to its breathability and wipeable nature.

What is the best way to clean the painted surface?

Clean spills and marks promptly with a soft, damp cloth. For tougher stains, use a mild detergent solution and wipe clean.

Does the insulating technology significantly reduce heating bills?

The insulating technology offers a supplementary benefit by reducing heat loss, but it is not a substitute for primary home insulation measures. Savings will vary.

How long does the paint take to dry?

Drying times can vary based on application thickness and environmental conditions. Refer to the product packaging for specific drying and recoating times.

Can I spray paint this product?

Yes, but you must remove filters and use a nozzle size between 0.019X and 0.026X for optimal results.

What is the finish of this paint?

The paint dries to a subtle, sophisticated matte finish.

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure the paint is stirred well. Apply in thin, even coats using a high-quality roller or brush. Avoid overworking the paint.

Paint is not adhering well

Check that the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Glossy surfaces may need to be lightly sanded.

Slight sheen variations in the matte finish

This can sometimes occur due to differences in application pressure or the surface porosity. Ensure consistent application technique and allow full drying before assessing. Ensure filters were removed and correct nozzle size was used if spray-applied.

Mould reappears after painting

Ensure the underlying cause of mould (e.g., persistent dampness, poor ventilation) is addressed. Clean affected areas thoroughly before repainting.
