Johnstone's Washable Matt Paint is engineered for resilience and aesthetic appeal, making it an excellent choice for a variety of interior spaces. Its primary strength lies in its washable nature, which is particularly beneficial in:
Family Living Rooms: Easily wipe away fingerprints, crayon marks, or accidental food splatters, keeping your walls looking fresh.
Hallways and Stairwells: High-traffic areas are prone to scuffs and dirt. This paint allows for simple cleaning to maintain appearance.
Children's Bedrooms: A true lifesaver for parents, as most common childhood messes can be cleaned without repainting.
Kitchens (Above Splashback): While not a dedicated kitchen paint, its washability is a huge advantage for general kitchen walls, allowing for easy clean-up of cooking splashes.
The Signal Red color adds a bold statement. Consider using it on a single feature wall to create a focal point, or in smaller doses for accents in a larger, neutral room to add warmth and energy. The quick-drying and low-odour attributes mean less disruption to your home life, allowing you to use painted rooms sooner. Its smooth, even coverage ensures that even novice painters can achieve a professional-looking finish, provided the surface is properly prepared.
Preparation is Paramount: Ensure your surfaces (walls and ceilings) are clean, dry, and free from loose material, dust, or grease. Fill any cracks or holes and sand smooth. For previously painted glossy surfaces, lightly abrade to provide a key.
Stir Thoroughly: Before and during use, stir the paint well to ensure an even consistency and color.
Application: Apply with a good quality brush or roller. For best results, two coats are usually required. Allow recommended drying time between coats.
This matt emulsion paint is suitable for interior walls and ceilings.
It can be applied over most common building surfaces including plaster, plasterboard, concrete, and existing painted surfaces that are in good condition.
Not recommended for floors or surfaces subject to heavy abrasion.
Cleaning Marks: For everyday marks and spills, gently wipe the affected area with a soft, damp cloth or sponge. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scrubbing vigorously, as this can damage the finish over time.
Spill Management: Tackle spills as soon as possible for easiest removal.
Storage: Store any leftover paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and frost. Ensure the lid is tightly sealed to prevent the paint from drying out. Properly stored, paint can last for months or even years.
