Polycell Crack-Free Ceilings Smooth Matt 2.5L

Product Information

If the crazing has been caused by application of matt onto silk paint, apply a coat of Dulux Trade Vinyl Soft Sheen. Containing Polyfilla technology, the formulation not only covers hairline cracks, stains, patches and strong colours but also permanently stops them from reappearing – providing the perfect foundation before you paint.

Interior-Flex is a unique product designed to bridge hairline cracks and flex with the substrate where movement causes cracking with conventional matt emulsion. Cheap paints are often made with inferior ingredients that don't stand up well to extreme weather conditions such as heat and humidity (that’s a big deal here in Nashville! The dramatic effect is perfect for giving your walls a weathered look that’s reminiscent of yesteryear, and it looks particularly effective when accompanied by modern accessories such as dark wood furnishings and plants. Polycell Crack-free ceiling paint is a pure brilliant white matt paint finish that can be applied to stained and crack damaged ceilings.

It may be a broken DPC, leaking gutter or just poor ventilation, but the potential problems include adhesion failure, blistering, flaking, promotion of moulds and staining. Plywood especially can expand and contract depending on humidity levels, making it prone to cracks and flaking in the surface coating.

When temperatures abruptly rise in the sultry summer months, this can cause an uneven expansion of the paint's top layers when compared to those underneath it, resulting in cracking and flaking over time. Lead paint is most dangerous when it’s cracking, blistering, or flaking, because it’s deteriorating and can cause lead-contaminated dust to be released into the air. The matt is great for modern homes where a lower sheen matt ceiling paint is desired, where as the silk offers a higher sheen which will reflect light more. Lack of Surface Preparation: When your paint surface is dirty or isn’t primed properly it’s prone to cracking and flaking even with a just a thin layer.It's quite normal for small cracks to appear in plaster on interior walls and ceilings, either through drying out in new homes or movement of the building in older homes.

Some products may be delivered straight to your door from one of our suppliers and these products will be labelled within the product description. It’s essential that you lay down old bedsheets or protective covering on the floors, or any surfaces that you aren’t intending to cover in crackle paint. It’s important to work the paint over the glue just once, as multiple coats and retouching can ruin the crackle effect. Eventually, the paint will curl and flake onto the floor (like in the picture below), so if you’re seeing pieces of your wall or ceiling littering the ground, that’s a sign that your building is suffering from paint failure. Polycell SmoothOver has been formulated to cover over old-fashioned textured surfaces, giving them a smooth finish.Once you’ve finished painting the walls with the base paint colour, wait for this layer to dry completely, which could take up to 24 hours. PaintWell increased its Industrial Paints offering with the acquisition of Promain UK Limited, the preferred UK distributor for many of the world’s leading paint and surface coatings manufacturers. To resolve the problem, scrape back the blistered paint until you have a firm edge, feather lightly with abrasive paper and dust off. The size of the cracks depends on the thickness of the layer : the thicker the layer, the bigger the cracks.

Simply enlarge the cracks slightly using a scraper (fillers don't work well in hairline cracks), dust off and fill with a suitable product such as Polycell Trade Interior filler. Here’s everything you need to know about paint failure, including what causes it, how to spot it, and why you should fix it early. Identifying cracking paint in the early stages is simple if you know what to look for, such as the image below. Its flexible paint formulation uses Polyfilla technology to not only cover cracks but prevent them from reappearing too.Your colour selections completely depend on the size of the space and the feel you’re trying to achieve. This failure can occur if a coat is thin, inconsistent, or if there’s a failed adhesion in the application. The crackle effect can be left as is, or a topcoat can be applied, to smooth and give a matte, satin or gloss finish, or even a pearl look with Crystal clearcoat. We do our best to represent colours as accurately as possible however screens variations and different surfaces can alter this.
