FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom or kitchen?

This emulsion is designed for interior walls and ceilings in low-humidity areas. It is not recommended for high-moisture environments like bathrooms where a more resistant finish is required.

How long does it take to dry?

The paint is quick-drying, but allow at least 2-4 hours between coats for best results depending on ambient room temperature and humidity.

Does it require a primer?

While it offers excellent coverage, a primer is always recommended on bare plaster, porous surfaces, or when making a significant color change.

How do I store the leftovers?

Seal the tin tightly and store in a frost-free environment. Ensure the lid rim is clean before closing to guarantee an airtight seal.

Is this paint safe for children's rooms?

The low VOC formulation makes it a popular choice for interior spaces, though always ensure proper ventilation during and after painting.

Troubleshooting

Streaking during application

Ensure you are using the correct roller nap size and maintain a 'wet edge' by working in smaller sections to avoid the paint drying prematurely at the borders.

Poor coverage or patchy finish

Check if the surface was properly primed. If the surface is highly porous, it may absorb too much paint, requiring an additional coat or a base primer.

Paint feels chalky to the touch

This is a characteristic of the finish. If it is rubbing off, ensure the paint has been allowed the full manufacturer-recommended cure time before touching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Sophisticated, flat matte finish
  • Quick-drying properties for faster project completion
  • Low VOC formula supports healthier indoor environments
  • Excellent pigment density for superior coverage
  • Easy to apply for a professional-grade finish

Cons

  • Matte finish can be more susceptible to scuffs than satin or gloss
  • Chalky texture may be more difficult to wash down
  • Limited to interior use only
  • 2.5L size may require multiple tins for large rooms

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before starting, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from dust or grease. If painting over porous surfaces, apply an appropriate primer first to ensure uniform absorption. For maintenance, avoid scrubbing the walls with abrasive materials; if cleaning is necessary, use a soft, damp cloth and blot gently. Store the paint in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the emulsion from drying out or skinning over. Keep the container away from extreme temperatures to maintain the integrity of the formula.
