Ceiling Usage

Preparation & Application Guidelines

1. Surface Preparation: Clean walls and ceilings to remove dust, grease, and old peeling paint. Repair cracks or holes with filler and sand smooth.
2. Priming (Optional): For previously unpainted surfaces or areas with stains, apply a compatible primer to enhance adhesion and coverage.
3. Mixing: Stir the paint thoroughly before use. Avoid shaking to prevent foam formation.
4. Tools: Use high-quality synthetic brushes for edges and corners; a roller with a 3–5 mm nap is optimal for large flat areas.
5. Coating Technique: Apply in long, even strokes. Maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks.
6. Drying Time: Allow the first coat to dry completely (typically 2–4 hours) before applying a second coat if needed.

Maintenance & Longevity

The Silk Emulsion’s resilient surface can be cleaned with mild soap and water. For tougher stains, use a non-abrasive sponge or soft cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that may damage the finish. With proper care, the paint retains its silky sheen for years.
