Frequently Asked Questions About Interior Painting
Which paint finish is best for walls in busy family homes?
We recommend a premium low-sheen or velvet acrylic (such as Plascon Double Velvet or Dulux Luxurious Silk). These deliver a luxurious, non-glossy appearance while allowing easy wiping and washing of dirt marks and fingerprints.
How do you treat stubborn black mould on bathroom ceilings?
We treat affected surfaces with an active fungicidal wash to kill underlying fungal spores, scrape loose paint, apply a specialized stain and damp blocker, and finish with two coats of mould-resistant bathroom enamel or acrylic.
Do modern interior paints have a strong, toxic chemical smell?
No. We prioritize low-VOC (volatile organic compound) water-based paints that have negligible odour and dry rapidly, allowing you to occupy painted rooms safely the same evening.
