Wall paint with scrub resistance class
wall paint with scrub resistance class
When choosing wall paint, it is not just the desired colour and matt finish that play a role, but also the extent to which you can clean a wall without damaging the paint layer. The 'scrub resistance class' indicated on the packaging shows the degree to which the wall paint is washable.Overview of scrub resistance classes: There are five different scrub resistance classes, of which wall paint with scrub resistance class 1, 2, and possibly 3 can be cleaned. Scrub resistance classes 4 and 5 are not resistant to cleaning with water or wiping. Fairf offers wall paints with scrub resistance classes 1 and 2: 'extra matt – class 1 | high-opacity wall paint – class 2'.
Wall paint with scrub resistance class 3
Honestly, wall paint with scrub resistance class 3 is mainly suitable for wiping. These types of paint, including extra matt paints and lime paints, are highly porous, causing dirt to penetrate quickly. Using water for cleaning can result in deeper stains. Ideal for ceilings or walls with little wear and tear.
Scrub resistance class 2
Wall paint with scrub resistance class 2, such as the fairf high-opacity wall paint, offers a golden mean. It is not extremely easy to clean, but it is possible. Perfect for rooms that are not cleaned frequently, such as the ceiling or bedroom. This paint is available in 3 shades of white.
Wall paint with scrub resistance class 1
For excellent cleanability and stain resistance, choose wall paint with scrub resistance class 1, such as the fairf extra matt wall paint. Ideal for rooms that are cleaned regularly, such as the kitchen, toilet, hallway, or nursery. Resistant to stubborn stains. An attractive bonus is that thanks to the high colour intensity and the matt finish of this product, you also get a beautiful final result without streaks or spots.
If the best is not good enough
For rooms that are used intensively and where many stains can occur, we recommend our extra matt wall paint, combined with the application of our invisible varnish as a topcoat. This varnish offers extra protection, for example, ideal for kitchen walls or walls that pets and children often come into contact with.
