Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: What is the main difference between silk and matt finishes?
A: Silk provides a high-sheen, reflective finish, ideal for enhancing room brightness and is easier to wipe clean. Matt is more subtle and non-reflective, better for hiding wall imperfections.

Q: Can this paint be used on ceilings?
A: Yes, this paint is suitable for both walls and ceilings, though the reflective nature of silk may highlight ceiling imperfections more than matt finishes.

Q: Is a primer required before applying this paint?
A: On previously painted surfaces, priming is generally not necessary unless the surface is stained or porous. New plaster should be mist coated first.

Q: How washable is the silk finish?
A: The silk finish is more washable than matt, making it suitable for rooms where occasional cleaning is needed.
