Frequently Asked Questions

What makes Polycell paints different from standard emulsion?

Polycell paints are formulated with specialist technology to address specific decorating challenges. Their stain-blocking paints contain advanced sealers that prevent marks bleeding through, whilst their coverage paints incorporate higher pigment levels for superior opacity, often achieving professional results in fewer coats than standard emulsions.

How long does Polycell varnish take to dry?

Drying times vary by product, but most Polycell varnishes are touch-dry within 1-2 hours and ready for recoating after 4-6 hours. Quick-dry formulations can be ready for light use even sooner. Always check the specific product tin for exact drying times and allow adequate ventilation during application.

Can I use Polycell paints on previously painted surfaces?

Yes, Polycell paints and varnishes can be applied over most previously painted surfaces, provided they're clean, dry, and sound. For best results on glossy or stained surfaces, light sanding and the use of Polycell's appropriate primer products will ensure optimal adhesion and finish quality.
