Product Information
Full details
Frenchic Wall Paint in Cream Dream is designed for homeowners seeking a durable, easy-to-maintain, and aesthetically pleasing finish for interior walls and ceilings. Its key benefit is the ultra-matte, scrubbable surface that requires minimal preparation due to its self-priming and self-sealing properties. A potential caveat is that the ultra-matte finish might not be ideal for very high-traffic areas where a higher sheen is preferred for hiding scuffs.

FAQs
Do I need to prime before using Frenchic Wall Paint?
No, Frenchic Wall Paint is self-priming, meaning you can often apply it directly to your prepared surface without a separate primer.
Is this paint suitable for bathrooms?
It is suitable for general interior walls and ceilings, but not recommended for very wet areas like shower enclosures or bath surrounds due to its ultra-matte finish.
How many coats of paint are recommended?
While coverage is excellent, two coats are recommended for the best depth of colour and a more durable, scrubbable finish.
How long does it take for the paint to cure completely?
The paint is touch-dry relatively quickly, but it takes approximately 7-14 days to fully cure, after which it achieves its maximum scrubbability.
What is the coverage rate of this paint?
A 2.5l tin covers up to 35m² with a single coat. With two recommended coats, expect coverage of approximately 17.5m².
Can I use this paint on furniture?
Yes, this paint is suitable for interior furniture, woodwork, and even kitchen cupboards, offering a durable and washable finish.
What makes this paint 'washable'?
It has achieved an ISO11998 Class 1 Wet Scrub rating, meaning it can withstand repeated cleaning with water and mild detergents without damaging the finish.
Troubleshooting
Paint is not adhering well.
Ensure the surface was properly prepared, clean, dry, and free from contaminants. For very glossy surfaces, a light sanding may be necessary to create a better key.
Streaky or uneven finish.
Ensure paint is stirred thoroughly. Apply paint evenly using consistent strokes with a brush or roller. Avoid overworking the paint. Ensure adequate lighting to see coverage.
Colour appears different than expected.
The final colour can be influenced by the underlying surface colour, lighting conditions, and the number of coats applied. Ensure two coats are applied for true colour depth. Check swatch under intended lighting.
Difficulty cleaning marks.
Ensure the paint has been fully cured (allow up to 14 days). For cured paint, use a soft cloth with mild soap and water. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive pads.
