Product Information
Full details
Johnstone's Toasted Beige Silk Emulsion is designed for homeowners and DIY enthusiasts looking to refresh interior walls and ceilings with a durable, light-reflecting finish. Its primary benefit is a high-sheen, hard-wearing surface that helps small rooms feel more spacious and withstands the demands of high-traffic areas. The main caveat to note is that because of the silk finish, any imperfections on the underlying wall surface may be highlighted rather than concealed, requiring thorough surface preparation prior to application.

FAQs
Can I use this paint in a kitchen or bathroom?
Yes, it is formulated to be suitable for high-traffic areas including kitchens and bathrooms.
How long does it take to dry?
It dries to the touch in approximately 1 to 2 hours, though drying times can vary based on room temperature and humidity.
Does this paint need a primer?
While it has excellent coverage, we recommend using a primer if you are covering a dark color or painting onto a highly porous surface.
Will this make my room look smaller?
No, because it has a silk finish with light-reflecting properties, it actually helps make a room appear brighter and more spacious.
How many coats are typically required?
While it depends on the condition of the surface, two coats are generally sufficient to provide full, even coverage.
Is this suitable for ceilings?
Yes, it is specifically designed for use on both interior walls and ceilings.
Troubleshooting
Visible roller marks or streaks
Ensure you are using the right pile length for the roller and try to maintain a 'wet edge' while painting to allow the product to level properly.
Paint is highlighting bumps on the wall
Silk finishes are reflective, so ensure you sand down any surface imperfections and apply a filler before painting to create a flat base.
Inconsistent finish or patchy look
Ensure the wall is properly primed, especially if the surface was previously porous or had repairs made.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best results with Johnstone's Silk Emulsion, ensure the wall surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or grease. If painting over a dark colour, a primer may be necessary to ensure the best coverage of the Toasted Beige.
For care, the painted surface is relatively easy to maintain due to its durable finish. Gentle wiping with a soft, damp cloth is usually sufficient for cleaning. When applying, use high-quality brushes or rollers to avoid visible streaks, and always allow the recommended drying time between coats to ensure the finish remains uniform. Store the 5L container in a cool, dry place with the lid tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out.
