How to use Polycell Textured Ceilings

1. Use dust sheets and carpet protectors to cover furniture and flooring.

2. Ensure the surface is clean, dry and sound. Seal new, bare and porous ceilings with a suitable plaster sealer.

3. Fill any cracks that are larger than hairline cracks with Polycell Polyfilla.

4. Use a foam roller for maximum texture or a fibre roller for a finer texture.

5. Stir Polycell Textured Ceilings before use and pour into a roller tray ready for loading.

6. Ensure roller is fully loaded, so you get a thick even coat.

7. Apply Polycell Textured Ceilings to the surface in short, criss-cross strokes, until you have covered about 1sq.m. Finish this area by rolling lightly in one direction.

8. Continue across the ceiling, covering 1sq.m at a time.

9. Touch corners, edges and around light fittings with a small brush, stippling to match the texture.

10. Apply a second coat of Polycell Textured Ceilings once the first coat is fully dry. We recommend leaving overnight.

11. Remove any splashes immediately before they dry.

12. After use, securely replace the lid to preserve remaining product. Some local authorities have special facilities for disposing of waste paint. Do not empty into drains or watercourses.

13. Remove as much product as possible from your brushes and rollers before washing in warm soapy water.
