Product Information
Full details
This guide is for anyone using Johnstone's Trade Covaplus Matt Emulsion in White. It offers a high-quality, durable matt finish for interior walls and ceilings, ideal for high-traffic areas. A key benefit is its superior opacity and excellent hiding power, making application easier. Keep in mind that while it's scrub-resistant, the finish is still a matt emulsion, so it might not be as resilient as a more glossy finish.
