Vinyl silk emulsion designed for interior walls and ceilings with a reflective silk sheen. Suitable for kitchens, bathrooms and other high-traffic areas.
Fast, efficient coverage - thanks to easy-to-apply formulation and strong opacity
Formulation spreads evenly and lays down high pigment load, reducing the number of passes required. Smooth flow and balanced viscosity cut down on brushing and rolling effort.
Fewer coats are often needed, so redecorating finishes sooner with less fatigue. Homeowners can complete rooms faster without sacrificing uniform colour.
Brighter, more open rooms - with light-reflecting silk finish
Light-reflecting components in the silk emulsion bounce light across walls and ceilings, softening shadows and increasing perceived space. The higher sheen picks up ambient light without a glossy glare.
Smaller or darker rooms feel airier and more polished, helping make a space appear larger without structural changes. A good choice where extra brightness is desired.
Suited to busy spaces - with a hard-wearing emulsion formulation
Resin and binder choice creates a durable film designed for indoor traffic and frequent contact. The formulation is geared toward resilience in kitchens, bathrooms and other high-use rooms.
Walls keep a fresher look for longer in family homes and rented properties. Practical durability reduces the need for frequent touch-ups.
