Farrow and Ball Modern Emulsion is a tough, washable paint for interior walls and ceilings. Featuring a Class 1 scrub rating and built-in mould protection, it's made to withstand daily wear while maintaining Farrow and Ball's signature depth of colour.
Please Note: Not for use in shower enclosures or direct water contact surfaces.
For best results, make sure your surface, tools and product are clean before you begin.
New or Unpainted Plaster/Dry-Lined Surfaces
- Make sure the plaster is clean, dry and free of dust, then suitably primed and undercoated prior to painting
- For best results and maximum depth of colour, dilute your Farrow & Ball topcoat with 25% water and use this as a mist coat, followed by two coats of your chosen topcoat
Please Note: British Standard 6150 recommends a typical drying time for new plaster of 7 days for every 5mm thickness.
Previously Painted Walls Preparation
- Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, grease and other contamination
- Apply one coat of Farrow and Ball Wall & Ceiling Primer & Undercoat, in the correct colour tone for your top coat
- Allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats
- Follow with two coats of your chosen colour to promote adhesion and full colour depth
Painting Over Interior Wall Fillers
For best results always use a filler which has the same porosity and density as the surface which is being repaired. Fillers which have a different porosity or density may lead to visible differences in colour or tone.
- Follow the filler manufacturers application instructions and drying times
- Apply a diluted coat (25%) of Farrow and Ball Wall & Ceiling Primer & Undercoat in the correct colour tone for your top coat
- Allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats
- Follow with two coats of your chosen colour to promote adhesion and full colour depth
Please Note: This product may not be compatible with highly alkaline/cement-based or sand-based fillers. Wherever possible, we recommend using an alternative type of filler. However, if no alternative is available, ensure the filler is adequately sanded and free of all dust and contaminants before proceeding with the steps outlined above.
Using Interior Caulks and Sealants
Where small gaps and cracks require filling or sealing, best results are achieved with an acrylic based decorators caulk which is a water-based, flexible filler. Use the minimum of caulk necessary as a smaller bead will dry quicker and will be less prone to cracking.
- Follow the filler manufacturers application instructions and drying times
- Apply an undiluted coat of Farrow and Ball Wall & Ceiling Primer & Undercoat in the correct colour tone for your top coat
- Allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats
- Follow with two coats of Modern Emulsion in your chosen colour, once again allowing a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats
Painting Lining Wallpaper
- For unpainted Lining Paper apply one coat if diluted coat of Farrow and Ball Wall & Ceiling Primer & Undercoat (maximum 10% water by volume) in the correct colour tone for your top coat
- Allow a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats
- Follow with two coats of Modern Emulsion in your chosen colour, once again allowing a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats
Please Note: : The dilution rate will depend on the porosity of the surface. it is recommended that a test is completed of the level of dilution on a patch to determine the level of dilution required. If you do not want to apply a primer and undercoat, as an alternative, you can dilute the top coat with approximately 10% water and apply as a "mist" coat. Please note: When porous papers are not sufficiently prepared, difficulties in application, variation in sheen or uneven colour may occur.
For preparation and application tips for all other substrates please refer to the product data sheet.
Always make a test area before the application to judge the suitability of the product. Follow the manufacturer's instructions at all times. Ensure all surfaces are sound, clean, dry and free from dirt, grease and other contamination
Please note: Darker/stronger colours may require additional coats. The drying and recoat times provided are based on applying paint in normal conditions. Drying times may be longer in cooler and/or higher humidity environments. Darker colours may take longer to dry. Optimum coverage and colour will be obtained by using the correct Primer & Undercoat colour tone for your top coat (and allowing a minimum of 4 hours drying time between coats). Some darker paint colours will take up to 14 days to achieve full hardness, strength and durability.
Do not apply at temperatures below 10°C or in excessive heat above 30°C.
Applying Paint to Wall by Brush
- Stir thoroughly before use
- Apply using a fine-tipped synthetic bristled brush
- Apply the paint in a vertical direction then spread the paint out evenly in a horizontal direction
- Allow 2 hours between coats
- On application of the final coat lay off the paint in a single direction to ensure that any brush marks and brush patterning effects (sometimes visible in certain lighting conditions) are minimised.
Applying Paint to Trim by Brush
- Stir thoroughly before use
- For best results use a quality fine-tipped synthetic bristled paint brush
- Load the brush well and apply a generous first coat
- Brushing first in a vertical direction then in a horizontal direction until an even coating has been applied
- Finish off by 'laying off' the paint in one direction using light pressure, with the brush held at an angle of approximately 30°
- Allow to dry completely for a minimum of 4 hours before applying a second coat
- When painting doors or cabinetry, it's important to lay off (paint your final strokes) in the direction of the grain, finishing the brush stroke at the visible carpentry joints for a flawless finish
Applying Paint to Walls by Roller
- Stir thoroughly before use
- Use a medium pile woven polyester roller
- Apply the paint in diagonal strokes to create wither an 'M'. 'W' or 'V' shape
- Fill in and over the shape you have just painted to spread the paint evenly
- Repeat this process, working in small sections, always work from wet to dry areas, maintaining a wet edge to minimise roller marks
- Allow 4 hours between coats
- On application of the final coat lay off the paint in a single direction to ensure that any roller patterning effects (sometimes visible in certain lighting conditions) are minimised.
Applying Paint to Trim by Roller
- Stir thoroughly before use
- Paint can be applied using a medium pile woven polyester roller, this will provide a good finish with minimal stippling and is a quick method of application
