Classic Emulsion  

Description

Classic Emulsion is a carefully crafted blend of premium acrylic copolymers and rich, contemporary pigments which produces excellent coverage, depth of colour and a superior matt finish. Classic Emulsion exhibits a creamy texture with a smooth flow and is suitable for most interior walls and ceilings.

 

Uses

Ideal for domestic and commercial properties, “Classic Emulsion” can be used on plaster, plasterboard, timber and applied over lining papers and most existing emulsion paint finishes.

 

Advantages

Classic Emulsion combines bold and subtle natural tones which have been developed to blend seamlessly with each other.  This facilitates the creation of a harmonious look in both traditional spaces and in open plan living, where colour can provide effective separation or delineation within an overall design.

• High opacity

• Beautiful range of colours inspired by our factory's Lakeland location

 

Surface Preparation

1.  Cleaning

For best results, ensure that surfaces are clean, dry and free from dust.  If necessary, wash down with a damp cloth or sponge to remove dirt, grease and dust residues. Rinse with clean water and allow to dry fully.

2. Stain Obliteration

If heavy staining remains after cleaning it may be advisable to facilitate subsequent decoration by disguising such staining through use of a proprietary obliterating primer or Kingfisher Damp Guard.   

3.  Repair surface defects

Any surface defects should be filled before painting with a premium plaster filler e.g. Everbuild TM. All Purpose Filler.  Seal any areas that remain powdery with Kingfisher Floor & Wall Seal.

4.  Existing Paint

Classic Emulsion will cover most existing matt finish emulsions but care should be exercised with some eggshell or vinyl finishes which are typically resistant to over‐painting.   Such surfaces may be “keyed” with a power orbital sander or some may respond to priming with  Kingfisher Floor & Wall Seal. Care should be taken when sanding any pre‐1960s wood or metal finishes as these may contain harmful lead.

 

Application

Stir thoroughly before use.

Apply minimum 2 x coats of “Classic Emulsion” by brush, roller or airless spray.  Additional coats may be required to cover strong background colours.   

DO NOT apply at air or surface temperatures below + 10 °C or in high humidity.

Seal new or bare surfaces with a thinned coat of “Classic Emulsion” (1 part water to 5 parts paint).

If applying by airless spray, add up to 1 part clean water to 10 parts paint.
