Distemper combines a softness of texture and purity of colour perfectly suited to sensitive restorations of older buildings.

Applying Distemper

一个高opacity, low odour, water-based chalky matt finish, hard distemper is suitable for walls, ceilings and fine plasterwork. The resultant soft, matt finish is ideally suited to bedrooms, living rooms, dining areas and other low traffic areas. We do not recommend using Distemper for contact areas or where condensation may occur.

Apply two coats to achieve the full depth of your chosen colour, but leave 4 hours drying time between applications.

20% thinning with clean water is recommended for most porous surfaces. Very porous surfaces, e.g. new plaster, may require up to 50% thinning for the first coat application.
