Breathability is a term used within the building industry to describe how a substrate allows water molecules and air molecules to pass through it. Our independent scientific testing confirmed that Emperor products had little effect on breathability and did not restrict the movement of air

The Emperor range of products have been independently tested by a United Kingdom Accredited Testing Laboratory (UKAS) to confirm their performance.  The products were awarded two certifications : ETAG 004 : the products act as external thermal insulation composite and ETAG 034 : which confirms their 25 year hygrothermal performance – i.e. accelerated weathering testing

It varies on different substrates, but generally our products have a spreading rate of approximately 4-5m² per litre. Specific details about the coverage of each of the products can be found on the datasheet, which can be downloaded on the product page.

Yes, you can apply Emperor Masonry Paint over previously painted surfaces.

Emperor Paint products can be applied using a brush, roller or airless spray machine. Specific details about how to prepare the surface and how to apply the products can be found on the datasheet, which can be downloaded on the product page.

Yes, but it cannot be applied in temperatures less than 5°C.

Emperor Masonry Paint dries with a matt finish.

Once the surface is completely dry, which depends on the air temperature at the time.

Emperor Masonry Paint does change the appearance of your walls to reflect the colour of your choice.

This obviously depends on the environmental conditions at the time of application, but it would be typical for Emperor Masonry Paint to take up to 2-3 weeks in colder conditions to fully show the beading effect of the coating.
