Product Information

Full details

The Frenchic Polar Bear Wall Paint in White is designed for homeowners seeking an easy-to-apply, durable, and aesthetically pleasing neutral finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the all-in-one formula, acting as a paint, primer, and sealer, saving time and effort. A minor caveat is its suitability for walls and ceilings, with limitations in very wet areas, though it offers versatility on other surfaces.

FAQs

Do I need a primer before using Frenchic Polar Bear Wall Paint?

No, this paint is self-priming and self-sealing, eliminating the need for a separate primer on most sound, dry surfaces.

Can this paint be used in a bathroom or kitchen?

It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, and can be used on kitchen cupboards. However, it is not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds due to its matte finish.

How do I clean the painted surface?

The paint has a Class 1 Wet Scrub rating once cured. You can clean it with a damp cloth. For tougher marks, use a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What is the coverage of one tin?

A 2.5l tin covers approximately 35m² with one coat. Two coats are recommended for best results, covering roughly 17.5m².

Is this paint safe for children's rooms or toys?

Yes, the paint is EN71-3 certified, making it safe for use on children's toys and furniture.

What kind of finish does this paint have?

It provides an ultra-matte finish, which is a sophisticated, non-reflective surface.

What surfaces can I use this paint on besides walls and ceilings?

It can also be used on wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles (avoiding very wet areas).

Troubleshooting

Uneven finish or brush marks visible

Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply in thin, even coats using a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Poor coverage or colour not deep enough

A second coat is essential for optimal colour depth and durability. Ensure the first coat has dried sufficiently before applying the second. For very dark or contrasting previous colours, a third coat might be necessary.

Paint not adhering well to the surface

Ensure the surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or contaminants. Lightly abrade any previously glossy surfaces to create a key for the paint to adhere to.

Surface feels slightly tacky after drying

This can sometimes occur in humid conditions or if applied too thickly. Ensure adequate ventilation. Allow more time for curing, especially in cooler or more humid environments. For most functional purposes, the paint is considered dry and handleable much sooner.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Simplifies the painting process with its all-in-one primer and sealer formula.
  • Offers a sophisticated, non-reflective matte finish that is highly durable and scrubbable.
  • Low VOC and virtually no odour make it suitable for occupied spaces and sensitive individuals.
  • Versatile application across multiple interior surfaces, including wood and metal.
  • Certified safe for use on children's items, providing peace of mind for families.

Cons

  • Not recommended for use in very wet areas such as shower enclosures or bath surrounds.
  • Two coats are recommended for optimal depth of colour and durability, increasing application time.
  • Coverage of 17.5m² per litre for two coats is less efficient than the stated per-coat coverage.
  • Only suitable for interior use; not designed for exterior applications.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Preparation: Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease or dust. Lightly abrade glossy surfaces to promote adhesion. No primer or topcoat is required on most sound, dry surfaces.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Apply evenly using a good quality brush or roller. Two coats are recommended for best results in terms of colour depth and durability. Allow adequate drying time between coats.

Compatibility: Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also recommended for wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, interior uPVC, and ceramic wall tiles (excluding very wet areas like shower bases or surrounds).

Care: Once fully cured, the paint has a Class 1 Wet Scrub rating. Clean spills and marks promptly with a damp cloth. For stubborn marks, use a mild detergent. Avoid abrasive cleaners or excessive scrubbing that could damage the matte finish.
