Silky texture with a shiny mirror effect
Metallic tones have a unique ability to add elegance and a touch of luxury to any space. They reflect light in a way that creates both depth and dynamism, turning walls from a simple backdrop into a standout feature. With Primacol Royal Silk, this advanced aesthetic is easy to achieve. The specially formulated paint ensures a consistent silky, shiny effect, resulting in a sophisticated look that traditional paints simply cannot replicate. This approach ensures your walls express not just a colour but a true personality.
Where to use Primacol Royal Silk
Primacol Royal Silk is perfectly suited for a wide range of indoor spaces where a refined and elegant atmosphere is desired. Think living rooms, bedrooms, and dining areas, where the pearlescent sheen adds a luxurious touch. This product is also ideal for feature walls or decorative elements such as mouldings and ceilings that deserve an exclusive finish. Its unique formulation also makes it an excellent choice for commercial spaces like hotels, restaurants, and showrooms, where creating visually appealing and unique environments is essential to impress visitors.
What is the coverage per m2 for this product?
The Primacol Royal Silk is not only known for its excellent quality and aesthetic advantages but also for its efficiency in coverage. On average, one kit covers approximately 8 to 10 square metres, depending on the porosity and texture of the surface being treated. For optimal results, it’s recommended to apply two layers of paint, which means the total coverage ranges around 4 to 5 square metres when two coats are applied. Take into account additional paint for edges and hard-to-reach areas. Coverage may vary, so always ensure you have slightly more paint available to avoid running out mid-project.
What colours can I choose?
Primacol Royal Silk is available in a variety of rich, vibrant colours that can bring any interior to life. From deep and calming blues that exude strength and tranquillity to soft and warm earth tones that evoke comfort and stability, there is a hue for every mood and setting. For those looking to make a bold statement, we offer bright and energetic shades like vivid reds and yellows. The collection also includes luxurious metallic tones such as gold, silver, and bronze, ideal for adding a touch of glamour to any space.
What’s included in the package?
The Primacol Royal Silk includes one component that we mix to your chosen colour. Each package contains a tin of premium Royal Silk paint, custom-mixed by us. We recommend applying a primer, such as the VP covering primer, before using the Royal Silk paint with a Venetian trowel.
Is Primacol Royal Silk difficult to apply?
Applying Primacol Royal Silk is designed to be easy, even for DIY enthusiasts. With the right knowledge and tools, such as a Venetian trowel, even beginners can achieve a professional-looking result. It’s important to carefully follow the preparation steps for a smooth and even finish.
What additional materials do I need?
Besides the paint that creates the Royal Silk effect, it’s essential to highlight that you will also need a trowel and a primer, which are not included in the standard kit. These tools are crucial for precise and efficient application, allowing you to achieve the professional finish you’re aiming for. Be sure to have these items on hand before starting your project to ensure everything you need is readily available.
Do you need to be a plasterer to apply it?
Although Primacol Royal Silk is designed to be applied by DIY enthusiasts, choosing between doing it yourself or hiring a plasterer depends on your skill level and the desired quality of the finish. If you have experience with painting and working with special effect paints, it is certainly possible to achieve a professional-looking result yourself.
What primer do I need?
To achieve the best results on plaster walls or freshly plastered surfaces, it’s essential to create a good base. This involves applying a primer to reduce surface absorption, ensuring that the Primacol Royal Silk adheres more evenly and beautifully. Our covering primer is specially formulated to work perfectly with Royal Silk, providing an optimal base that enhances the paint’s finish and durability. Don’t skip this step; it’s crucial for achieving a professional look on your walls.
Are there any alternatives to this product?
Unfortunately, there are no alternative products of the same high quality as the Primacol Royal Silk available online. However, Primacol offers other premium products, such as metallic wall paint for a shimmering metallic effect or concrete-effect wall paint that brings a rugged, industrial character to the space. These alternatives can also be interesting options for those looking for a unique wall finish with a distinctive flair or aiming to highlight a specific style.
Step-by-step guide for Primacol Royal Silk
Follow these steps to apply Primacol Royal Silk:
- Step 1: Ensure the surface to be painted is clean, dry, and free of irregularities. Prepare with our specially formulated primer. Place masking tape along the edges for clean lines, and protect floors and furniture with a dust sheet.
- Step 2: Apply a primer to the wall. This removes the absorbent property of the wall and ensures the product works properly.
- Step 3: Use a Venetian trowel to apply the paint in thin, even layers for a silky smooth finish. Work from top to bottom in sections. Allow the first coat to dry completely before applying a second coat for intensified colour or effect if desired.
- Step 4: Clean tools during application to prevent the paint from hardening. After painting, carefully remove the tape for a sleek finish. Allow the paint to fully cure before replacing furniture and decorations, and enjoy the luxurious and refined result of your efforts!
