Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Matt Emulsion is a premium interior paint formulated for homeowners and DIY decorators looking to achieve a professional, modern matte aesthetic on walls and ceilings. Its primary benefit lies in its high-opacity, creamy consistency that masks surface imperfections with ease, though users should note that the matte finish is less resistant to heavy-duty scrubbing compared to gloss or silk alternatives.

FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This is a standard matt emulsion; for bathrooms prone to high moisture, a specialist moisture-resistant paint is typically recommended.

How many coats are required?

While the coverage is excellent, two coats are generally recommended for the most durable and even finish.

How long does it take to dry?

It is touch dry quickly, but it is best to wait at least 2-4 hours between coats depending on the ambient room temperature.

Is it safe for use in a child's bedroom?

Yes, Johnstone's emulsion is suitable for residential interiors, provided the room is well-ventilated during and after application until the paint is fully cured.

Can this be applied over existing gloss paint?

You must lightly sand the gloss surface and apply a suitable primer first, as emulsion does not bond well to high-sheen surfaces directly.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks or streaks

Ensure you are using a high-quality roller and keep a 'wet edge' by working in smaller sections to prevent paint from drying unevenly.

Paint not adhering well to the wall

The surface may be too dusty or oily. Clean the wall thoroughly with sugar soap and allow it to dry completely before repainting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Minimizes wall and ceiling imperfections
  • Easy to apply for both pros and beginners
  • Dries quickly for efficient project turnaround
  • Sophisticated, modern matte aesthetic
  • Wipeable finish for easy maintenance

Cons

  • Matte finish is less durable than silk alternatives
  • Not suitable for high-traffic areas prone to heavy scuffing
  • May require more care when cleaning deep stains

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before application, ensure the surface is free from dust, grease, or flaking debris. If applying to a fresh or porous surface, a primer or a mist coat (thinned paint) may be necessary to ensure proper adhesion. For application, use a high-quality synthetic brush for edging and a medium-pile roller for large wall surfaces.

To clean your tools, wash them immediately in warm soapy water while the paint is still wet. For wall maintenance, use a soft, damp cloth to gently wipe away dust or light dirt; avoid using abrasive scrubbers which can polish the matte finish and create unwanted shine spots.
