Frequently asked questions about the Ceiling and wall paints category
What are Ceiling and wall paints?
Ceiling and wall paints are interior paint products (e.g. SADOLIN AMBIANCE, VIVACOLOR, TIKKURILA) available in matt, semi-matt and washable formulations. They are formulated for plasterboard, concrete and masonry, providing good coverage, durability and easy cleaning.
Which paint is best for kitchen and bathroom?
Use a washable, moisture-resistant paint such as SADOLIN EASYCARE Kitchen-Bathroom. These formulations resist frequent cleaning and humidity without losing colour or film integrity.
What is the paint consumption for ceilings and walls?
Consumption depends on the product: interior acrylic/latex paints like VIVACOLOR ACRYLATE PREMIUM typically cover about 8–12 m²/l per coat. Exact coverage is printed on each product label.
Do I need to prime the surface before painting?
Priming is often recommended, especially on porous or bare surfaces; use VIVACOLOR VILLA AKVA PRIMER AP 0.9L to improve adhesion and uniform coverage. On previously painted smooth surfaces priming may not be necessary.
Which paint gives a fully matt finish?
Choose matt formulations such as SADOLIN AMBIANCE DIAMOND BW 2.5L MATT or VIVACOLOR ACRYLATE PREMIUM MATT for a fully matt finish. These minimise glare and help hide minor surface imperfections.
Can I use ceiling paint on walls and vice versa?
Yes, many ceiling and wall paints are interchangeable: VIVACOLOR CEILING 3 AP is for ceilings while some SADOLIN interior paints suit walls too. Choose based on required washability and surface texture.
What is a paint tester and why use it?
A paint tester is a small sample pack (e.g. VÄRVITESTER SADOLIN AMBIANCE 30ML) to check colour and performance on your wall. It lets you see the shade in real lighting and ensures compatibility before buying full-size cans.
Which paints hide surface defects best?
Deep-matt and semi-matt formulas such as SADOLIN BINDO 5 BW SÜGAVMATT or SADOLIN AMBIANCE PEARL semi-matt hide minor imperfections best due to low reflectivity. Larger cracks should be filled and primed first.
How to prepare an old painted surface before applying new paint?
Clean off dirt and grease, remove loose paint, prime problem areas and fill cracks as needed. After sanding and dust removal, apply chosen interior paint (SADOLIN, VIVACOLOR) in 1–2 coats.
What packaging sizes are available and why use testers?
There are large tubs for full-room jobs (e.g. SADOLIN AMBIANCE 10L, VIVACOLOR 9L) and small testers of 30–45 ml (VÄRVITESTER) to check colour. Testers let you preview the shade and finish in real lighting before buying full-size cans.
