FAQs

Can I use this paint in a bathroom?

This emulsion is designed for general interior walls and ceilings. It is not specifically moisture-resistant, so it is best reserved for low-humidity areas like living rooms or bedrooms.

How many square meters does a 2.5L can cover?

While coverage depends on surface porosity, 2.5L of emulsion paint typically covers approximately 25 to 30 square meters with a single coat.

Is a primer necessary for this paint?

A primer is highly recommended if you are painting over dark colors, bare plaster, or highly porous surfaces to ensure consistent color and adhesion.

What is the best way to clean brushes used with this paint?

Because this is a water-based emulsion, you can clean brushes and rollers using warm, soapy water immediately after use.

Can I touch up marks on the wall later?

Yes, but due to the matt finish, touch-ups may be slightly visible depending on the lighting and the amount of time that has passed since the original application.

Troubleshooting

Visible roller marks after drying

Ensure you are using a good quality medium-pile roller and avoid overworking the paint as it begins to set.

Paint not sticking to the wall

Confirm that the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. If the surface is highly porous, a primer or mist coat is required.

Paint smells too strong

While this product is low VOC, ensure the room is well-ventilated during and after painting to allow moisture and any remaining odors to dissipate.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Elegant, non-reflective matt appearance
  • Environmentally conscious with low VOCs
  • Dries quickly for faster project completion
  • Excellent for both ceilings and walls

Cons

  • Limited to interior use only
  • 2.5L capacity may require multiple cans for large rooms
  • Matt finish can be more susceptible to marking than high-sheen paints

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from loose paint or dust before application. If applying to new or porous plaster, use a suitable mist coat or primer first to ensure proper adhesion. For care, avoid using abrasive sponges when cleaning walls, as this can burnish the matt surface; instead, gently dab with a soft, damp cloth. Always store the container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out prematurely.
