Product Information

Full details

This Frenchic Wall Paint in a soft yellow hue is designed for homeowners seeking a relaxed, natural aesthetic for interior walls and ceilings, offering a durable and washable finish with minimal preparation. Its key benefits include excellent coverage, self-priming, and self-sealing properties, reducing project time and the need for multiple products. A potential caveat is its ultra-matte finish, which may show imperfections more readily than higher sheens. Key features include its breathable, water-based formula, low VOCs, virtually no odour, and a scrubbable finish certified for high durability.

FAQs

Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?

While the paint is washable, it is not recommended for very wet areas such as shower surrounds or bath areas due to its breathable nature. It can be used in bathrooms with good ventilation where moisture levels are not consistently high.

How much area does a 2.5l tin cover?

A 2.5l tin will cover approximately 35m² with a single coat. For optimal colour depth and durability, two coats are recommended, meaning you can expect to cover around 17.5m².

Do I need to use a separate primer or topcoat?

No, this paint is self-priming and self-sealing, meaning you do not need to use a separate primer or topcoat for most standard interior surfaces.

Can I use this paint on furniture?

Yes, this paint is suitable for use on wooden furniture, interior woodwork, kitchen cupboards, and metal surfaces, providing a durable and attractive finish.

What is the best way to clean the painted surface?

Once fully cured (approximately 7 days), the surface can be cleaned with a damp cloth or a soft sponge using mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners.

What does 'breathable' mean for paint?

Breathable paint allows moisture vapour to pass through it. This is beneficial in older buildings or homes to help prevent moisture build-up within walls, reducing the risk of damp and mould.

Is there a paint for trim and doors?

Yes, Frenchic offers a matching soft-satin Trim Paint range that is available in the same colours, allowing you to coordinate your walls with your woodwork.

Troubleshooting

Paint not adhering well

Ensure the surface was properly cleaned and degreased before application. If painting over a very glossy surface, ensure it was lightly sanded to create a 'key' for the paint to grip.

Streaky or uneven finish

Apply paint evenly with a good quality brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint in one area. Ensure consistent pressure and direction of application. Check for drips and smooth them out immediately.

Colour looks different than expected

Colours can appear different in various lighting conditions and on different screen displays. It is recommended to test a small area or obtain a sample first. Ensure sufficient coats have been applied for true colour depth.

Surface is difficult to clean after curing

Ensure the paint has been allowed to fully cure (up to 7 days) for maximum scrubbability. Use only a damp cloth or a soft sponge with mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive materials.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and free from grease, dust, and flaking paint. Lightly abrade glossy surfaces to improve adhesion. For previously painted surfaces, no primer is needed if the existing paint is sound.

Compatibility:

Suitable for interior walls and ceilings. Also recommended for wooden furniture, interior woodwork, wooden floors, kitchen cupboards, metal, powder-coated radiators, and interior uPVC. Avoid very wet areas like shower baths and surrounds.

Care:

Allow the paint to cure fully (typically 7 days) for maximum durability and scrubbability. Clean spills and marks gently with a damp cloth. For tougher stains, use mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh scrubbing, especially before the paint is fully cured.
