This subtle hue is easy on the eyes and is sure to be a favourite on everyone's guest list.

Its versatile, weatherproof, and hard-wearing properties ensure that your decorative efforts are enduring and beautifully finished.

Details

Frenchic Al Fresco Wedding Cake delivers a matte finish that is self-priming and self-sealing, simplifying the application process by eliminating the need for separate primers or sealants. This water-based formula is ideal for a variety of surfaces, including furniture, woodwork, and even more challenging surfaces like laminate, metal, and ceramic wall tiles. Whether updating kitchen cupboards, front doors, or even interior wood and concrete floors, this paint adapts to a range of project needs with elegance and ease.

The Technical Stuff: Wedding Cake is not only aesthetically pleasing but also safe for children's toys, as it holds EN71-3 certification. Each 750ml tin is capable of covering up to 12.5m² with one coat. However, for optimal durability, at least two coats are recommended, which effectively provides full coverage for about 6m² on non-porous surfaces. The actual coverage may vary based on surface porosity and application techniques.

Emporium Expert Tips: To enhance the sophisticated charm of 'Wedding Cake', pair it with bold and contrasting colours to allow its subtle off-white tone to truly stand out, or use it alongside other soft hues for a more harmonious and tranquil setting. This paint colour is particularly effective for creating a refined and welcoming atmosphere in any area, making it perfect for special occasions or everyday elegance.

uses for Al Fresco paint

Frenchic Al Fresco paint has a moisture barrier built in which makes it suitable not only for kitchens and bathrooms, but outdoor furniture and even UPVC doors and windows

why use a Frenchic brush?

Frenchic paint brushes are handcrafted in Italy using time honoured methods and traditions. Our traditional Oval brushes are made with a careful ratio of natural bristle to synthetic fibre and with a high density of bristles, they are made particularly for optimal chalk paint ‘pick-up’.

good to know

coverage

  • A 750ml tin will provide a coat of up to 12.5m². For a durable finish, a minimum of 2 coats is required, so your 750ml tin should provide full coverage for 6m² on non-porous surfaces
  • Thinner application may affect durability
  • Porous surfaces will affect the rate of coverage and require additional coats
  • Always ensure you have enough paint for your whole project. When more than 1 tin of the same colour is needed, it is good practice to ensure batch numbers are identical or to intermix batches prior to commencing painting

suitable for

Multipurpose paint for interior and exterior use. Recommended for furniture and woodwork. Laminate, powder-coated radiators, metal, uPVC, ceramic wall tiles (we recommend avoiding very wet areas like showers/bath surrounds), kitchen cupboards, front doors and interior wood and concrete floors.

preparation

  • Ensure surfaces are in suitable condition for painting and clean, dry, free from wax, grease or penetrating substances and in sound condition. If previously painted, remove loose or flaking paint. Fill any holes/imperfections with a suitable filler
  • Remove any rust and apply a suitable metal primer - also apply primer to bare ferrous (iron based) metal
  • Recommended surface preparation in addition to the above – clean with Frenchic Sugar Soap, rinse, dry, hand-sand sufficiently to abrade the surface and/or to smooth any protrusions after filling. Wipe off any dust
  • You can watch our video on how to prep surfaces for painting here
  • To promote a smooth finish, treat porous surfaces like bare MDF, with an application of 2 coats of Tuff Top Coat prior to painting
  • Exterior wooden surfaces in particular can retain moisture for up to 48 hours after rainfall or preparation. Ensure the surfaces are thoroughly dry prior to painting
  • Take care on opening the tin lid – a Frenchic tin opener is recommended
  • Stir thoroughly with a wide implement, such as a Paint Paddle, prior to each use
