⚡ At a Glance
- • Coverage: Opaque one-coat coverage on many prepared surfaces when applied correctly
- • Best for: DIYers and professional painters needing quick, reliable results across surfaces
- • Not ideal for: Unclean or greasy surfaces that have not been wiped, cleaned or sanded
A multi-surface paint and primer in one with a highly pigmented, thick formula. Water-based, low-VOC chalk paint made in the UK for indoor and outdoor use.
Quicker redecorating - with a highly pigmented one-coat formula
A thick, highly pigmented formulation delivers high opacity so a single pass can cover underlying colours and treatments. Fast-drying chemistry reduces the time between coats when a second pass is needed.
Significant time saved on small to medium jobs, meaning rooms and furniture return to use sooner. Less sanding and fewer touch-ups are often required compared with standard emulsion.
Wide surface compatibility - thanks to multi-surface formulation
Formulation is suitable for wood, laminate, plastic/UPVC, metal, concrete, brick, masonry, stone and glass, allowing a single paint type across different substrates. Surface prep guidance includes cleaning, drying and optional sanding or scoring.
One tin can handle doors, skirtings, cabinets and exterior masonry, reducing the need to buy multiple specialist products. Good for selective refreshes and matched finishes across mixed materials.
Safer indoor decorating - with water-based, low-VOC chalk paint
UK-made water-based chalk paint contains low volatile organic compounds and is described as non-toxic and low odour. The formulation allows easy cleanup with water and is skin-washable according to user feedback.
Lower odour makes decorating indoors more comfortable and reduces airing-out time. Cleanup is simpler for brushes and rollers, and hands can be washed without solvents.
