Product Information

Full details

Johnstone's Silk Emulsion is an ideal choice for homeowners seeking a sophisticated, smooth finish on interior walls and ceilings. This high-quality, water-based paint offers excellent coverage and a quick-drying formula that makes it perfect for DIY projects in living areas or bedrooms; however, users should note that the low-sheen silk finish may highlight surface imperfections more clearly than matte alternatives.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

This emulsion is intended for standard interior rooms. For high-moisture areas like bathrooms or kitchens, we recommend a dedicated moisture-resistant paint.

Can I use this on wood or metal?

No, this product is specifically formulated for interior walls and ceilings.

How long does it take to dry?

It is quick-drying to the touch, but we recommend waiting at least 2-4 hours before applying a second coat depending on room temperature and humidity.

How do I clean my brushes after use?

Because this is a water-based paint, you can clean all brushes and rollers thoroughly with warm, soapy water.

Does this paint contain strong fumes?

The paint is formulated to have low odour, making it much more pleasant to use in enclosed indoor spaces compared to solvent-based paints.

Troubleshooting

Paint is showing brush marks or roller stipple

Ensure you are using a quality synthetic brush or a roller appropriate for the wall texture, and avoid over-working the paint once it begins to set.

Poor coverage or patchy appearance

Apply a second coat once the first is fully dry, ensuring you maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to prevent uneven drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To prepare for painting, ensure all surfaces are free from dust, grease, and loose paint. If the wall is new plaster, allow it to dry completely and apply a mist coat before using the silk emulsion.

Application: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Use a synthetic brush for cutting in edges and a roller for large surface areas.
Compatibility: This paint is designed for standard interior masonry, plaster, and wallpaper surfaces.
Care: For ongoing maintenance, wipe surfaces gently with a damp, soft cloth to remove dust. Avoid using abrasive sponges, as these may damage the silk sheen finish.
