How Soon Can I Use The Room After Painting?Updated 8 months ago

If the room is being painted with water-borne interior products, such as wall and ceiling paints, or with low-emission M1-classified products, it can be used around 4–6 hours after painting. In the case of other water-borne paints or lacquers, avoid being in the room until the next day. Allergic and sensitive individuals should avoid being in freshly painted rooms for a bit longer. Highly allergic and sensitive persons should consider carefully whether it might be a good idea to let someone else do the painting. However, if you do decide to do the job yourself, we recommend the use of low-emission M1-classified and eco-labelled products. Ensure adequate ventilation during drying; for example, open the window. However, bear in mind that the room temperature should not fall below the minimum temperatures given in the product specification.
