Product Information

While the classic Pure Brilliant White is the obvious option to counterpoint more vibrantly painted walls, Crown also offers its Matt Emulsion in 64 other hues, including the soothing mid-grey of City Break, the murky, misty green of Khaki Twist, and the roaring red inferno of English Fire. Available in Brilliant White and Magnolia, you’ll need to treat existing mould first before applying the paint, which goes on with ease using a brush or roller, leaving a washable soft sheen finish once it’s fully dried.

If you’re after a modern, non-reflective, non-yellowing matt finish, Crown Matt Emulsion is a good option as it goes on easily with a brush or roller. It has an average drying time of two hours and you can apply a second coat, if required, after four hours.Always make sure there’s plenty of ventilation in the room you’re painting and wear protective goggles – after all, you’ll be staring straight up at the paint you’re applying. Always stir your paint well before use and regularly during use too to keep it properly mixed. And, after use, clean brushes or rollers completely and secure any remaining paint safely away from where children and pets can access it. Whilst satin paint offers even more protection than matt or eggshell paint, I wouldn’t suggest using it in your bathroom as the sheen level is too much to offer a pleasant aesthetic. Satin paint reflects plenty of light and can make imperfections on your bathroom ceiling glaringly obvious so it’s best to avoid using it. What is the Best Paint Finish for a Bathroom Ceiling?

This is a legitimate question that a lot of people are concerned with when they think about painting their ceiling a darker color. The design myth that’s been going around for as long as I can remember is that dark paint colors tend to make rooms appear smaller. However, there are a couple of exceptions to this rule. For example, if you are painting over a material that isn’t drywall, such as wooden planks, you may want to try a satin finish. This will make the material look smoother and still work to cover up visible flaws.It's a general rule of thumb that if the ceiling is a darker color than the walls, it makes the ceiling feel closer and the room feel smaller. So, if you have a low ceiling, you'll want to keep this in mind: painting them a dark color can make the room feel cramped. Has an elegant soft sheen finish that will modernise the look of your bathroom and make you the envy of your guests. Updating your ceiling could be the one design choice that ties a room together and provides that missing touch. Matt paint or flat matt paints are paints that don’t reflect a lot of light and for this reason, they are preferred for their modern aesthetic. However, unless your bathroom is well-ventilated it’s usually a good idea to avoid using retail matt paints in particular. If you really want a modern aesthetic then trade matt paint is your only option here. Of course, to set off the dark shades of your room, you’ll want to focus on furniture and decoration.

Would I recommend using this if you don’t have mould problems? Probably not. It’s not worth the additional cost and effort when you could just use Crown Acrylic Eggshell and be done in a couple of coats with minimal effort.

This is where things get argumentative in the decorating trade! Whilst most would opt for an acrylic eggshell, many swear by Zinsser Perma-White as the best paint for bathroom ceilings. Do I think it is? In terms of product quality, I would probably say yes. However, the opacity is pretty terrible and can sometimes take up to 5 coats to properly cover.
