FAQs
Is Earthborn Lifestyle Emulsion suitable for kitchens and bathrooms?
Yes, its durable and washable nature makes it suitable for high-traffic areas like kitchens. For very humid environments like bathrooms, consider a paint specifically formulated for these conditions, although Lifestyle Emulsion offers good performance.
How long does the paint take to fully cure?
The paint is touch dry in 1-2 hours and ready for a second coat in 6-12 hours. Full cure, meaning maximum durability and washability, typically takes a few weeks.
Can I use this paint over existing oil-based paint?
It is generally recommended to use water-based paints over existing water-based paints. If applying over oil-based paint, ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned, degreased, and primed with an appropriate water-based primer.
What does 'virtually VOC-free' mean?
It means the paint contains extremely low levels of Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), which are chemicals that can be released into the air and affect indoor air quality. This makes it a healthier choice for your home.
How should I clean application tools after use?
Clean brushes, rollers, and spray equipment immediately after use with warm water and soap.
Does the 'Sunday Stroll' color change significantly under different lighting?
Like all paint colors, 'Sunday Stroll' can appear different under varying light conditions (natural vs. artificial, warm vs. cool tones). It has calming grey undertones which might be more prominent in certain lighting.
What is the coverage rate per litre?
The approximate coverage is up to 10-12m² per litre, depending on the surface porosity and application method.
Troubleshooting
Uneven color or finish
Ensure paint is thoroughly stirred before and during application. Check for inconsistent application thickness or primer variations. Allow adequate drying time between coats.
Paint is difficult to apply
Ensure the surface is properly prepared and free from contaminants. If the paint is too thick, very light thinning with water might be considered, but always test first. Ensure application tools are suitable.
Marks are difficult to wipe off
Use a soft, damp cloth. For stubborn marks, a mild soap solution can be used gently. Avoid scrubbing, which can damage the finish.
Color looks different than expected
Colors can vary due to screen calibration, lighting conditions, substrate type, and texture. It's recommended to use a sample pot or check the color in the intended room's lighting before full application.
