Why Choose WRX Trade Contract Matt Pro?
-
Exceptional for Fresh Plaster
Contract Matt Pro is specifically formulated to be the best choice for freshly plastered surfaces. Its breathable nature allows moisture to escape from the plaster, which is crucial for preventing issues such as blistering or peeling as the surface cures. This ensures a durable and long-lasting finish that will stand the test of time, even in demanding conditions.
-
Quick-Drying Formula
Time is often of the essence when working on newly plastered walls, and the quick-drying properties of Contract Matt Pro make it a practical choice. The paint is touch dry in just 30 minutes, allowing you to apply the second coat after only 4-6 hours. This efficiency means you can complete your painting project in a shorter timeframe without sacrificing quality.
-
Excellent Coverage and Finish
With a coverage rate of up to 13 m² per litre, Contract Matt Pro provides an efficient and cost-effective solution for large areas. The flat matt emulsion offers exceptional opacity, covering imperfections and creating a smooth, even finish that enhances the appearance of any room. Its formulation also ensures that the paint dries to a flawless flat matt finish, perfect for creating a modern, clean look.
How to Achieve the Best Results with Contract Matt Pro
Surface Preparation
Proper preparation is key to ensuring the best results with Contract Matt Pro. Ensure that all surfaces are sound, clean, and dry before beginning. Remove any loose or flaking material and make necessary repairs. Glossy surfaces should be sanded to provide a key for the paint to adhere to. For porous surfaces, apply a ‘mist’ coat of Contract Matt Pro diluted with 30% clean water to ensure even absorption and adhesion.
Application Tips
Before you start painting, make sure the room temperature is above +8°C and avoid applying the paint in damp or humid conditions. Stir the paint well, and if needed, thin it with up to 10% clean water. Apply the paint evenly using a brush, medium pile roller, or spray system, and avoid overspreading for the best results. Two coats are recommended for a consistent finish, and additional coats may be necessary when covering a darker existing colour.
Coverage and Drying Time
Contract Matt Pro offers excellent coverage, with up to 13 m² per litre in a single coat, depending on the surface’s smoothness and absorbency. The quick drying time—just 30 minutes to touch dry—means you can efficiently move through your project without unnecessary delays.
Aftercare and Storage
Once your painting project is complete, remove as much paint as possible from your brushes and rollers before cleaning them with warm, soapy water. To protect the environment, do not dispose of leftover paint in drains or watercourses. Check with your local authorities for proper disposal options. Store any remaining paint in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, frost, and extreme temperatures, ensuring the lid is tightly closed.
Available Sizes
WRX Trade Contract Matt Pro is available in a convenient 7.5L size, making it ideal for larger projects where efficiency and consistent quality are essential.
