Product Information
Full details
This Frenchic Wall Paint in a stunning teal-toned blue is for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts seeking a durable, beautiful, and easy-to-apply finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is an ultra-matte, scrubbable surface that requires minimal preparation due to its self-priming and self-sealing properties. A potential caveat is that while versatile, it's best avoided in very wet areas like shower surrounds.

FAQs
Do I need to prime before using this paint?
No, this paint is self-priming, meaning it adheres well to most prepared surfaces without a separate primer.
How many coats of paint are recommended?
While one coat provides coverage, we recommend two coats for the best depth of colour and a more durable finish.
Can this paint be used in a bathroom?
It is suitable for interior walls and ceilings, but not recommended for very wet areas like shower interiors or bath surrounds. For bathrooms with less direct moisture, it can be used.
How do I clean the painted surface?
Once fully cured, the paint is scrubbable. Use a damp cloth or a soft sponge with mild soapy water for cleaning. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
What is the coverage rate of this paint?
A 2.5L tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. Two coats will cover approximately 17.5m².
Is this paint safe for children's rooms?
Yes, it is certified safe for use on children's toys (EN71-3 certified) and is water-based with low VOCs and virtually no odour, making it a safe choice for indoor use.
What finish does this paint have?
The paint has an ultra-matte finish, providing a sophisticated and non-reflective look.
Troubleshooting
Paint appears streaky or uneven.
Ensure the paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Use a consistent application technique with a quality brush or roller. Apply a second coat if necessary.
Marks are difficult to remove.
Ensure the paint is fully cured before attempting heavy cleaning. Use a soft cloth or sponge with mild, non-abrasive soapy water. Avoid scrubbing too aggressively.
Poor adhesion or peeling.
The surface may not have been adequately prepared. Ensure it was clean, dry, and free from contaminants before painting. For non-porous surfaces, ensure compatibility or consider a suitable primer if issues persist.
Paint is thicker than expected.
Ensure the paint has not been stored in extreme temperatures. Stir gently but thoroughly. If extremely thick, a *very* small amount of water may be added, but this is generally not recommended as it can affect performance.
