Application Guidelines

FAQs

1) What is the difference between satin and glossy enamel?

Satin enamel has soft sheen, refined aesthetic (less reflective, hides minor imperfections, subtle elegance). Glossy enamel has high-gloss, mirror-like shine (reflective, shows imperfections, dramatic finish). Choose satin for sophisticated look, glossy for maximum shine.

2) What is BioPack anti-fungal protection?

BioPack is an anti-fungal technology that prevents mold and fungus growth on painted surfaces. Ideal for humid environments like kitchens, bathrooms, and coastal areas where moisture promotes fungal growth. Keeps surfaces cleaner and healthier longer.

3) Can I use satin enamel on metal surfaces?

Yes, satin enamel works on both wood and metal. Use appropriate metal primer before application. However, satin finish is more popular for wooden furniture and cabinets. For metal gates and grills, glossy finish is traditionally preferred for maximum protection.

4) How does satin enamel provide 25% more coverage?

Premium formulation with higher solids content provides better hiding power and coverage (100-120 sqft/litre vs 80-90 sqft/litre for standard enamels). This means fewer coats required and lower overall paint consumption, offering better value despite higher initial cost.

5) Is satin enamel easier to clean than glossy enamel?

Both have excellent washability and stain resistance. Satin enamel's advantage is that it hides minor scratches and imperfections better than glossy finish. For high-traffic areas or furniture used by children, satin finish maintains appearance longer without showing every mark.

6) Can I apply satin enamel over old glossy enamel?

Yes, but proper surface preparation is critical. Lightly sand glossy surface to create tooth for new paint, clean thoroughly, then apply satin enamel. The satin finish will cover the old gloss, but ensure good adhesion through proper sanding.

7) Why choose satin over glossy for kitchen cabinets?

Satin finish is ideal for kitchens because: (1) BioPack anti-fungal protection prevents mold in humid conditions, (2) Soft sheen provides elegant look without harsh reflections, (3) Hides fingerprints and minor marks better than gloss, (4) Enhanced washability for easy cleaning of grease and stains.
