Product Information

White paint is a staple, so a washable version means you don’t have to make any sacrifices when it comes to style. If you have children, the benefits are countless. Crayon marks? Dirty fingerprints? Juice splatters? Fear not – with washable white paint, scuffs and stains can be easily washed off. Glitter additives are supplied as glitter crystals to mix with the emulsion of your choice. Some additives can be mixed in all types of paint, others are compatible only with water-based emulsions, while others are incompatible with speciality paints, even if water-based. Choosing one product over the other is often a matter of preference; we prefer glitter additives because they can be mixed with the paint of your choice and are more cost-effective than glaze.

As well as helping you create the right mood and a quality finish, we understand that you want your walls to stand the test of time, so our team of experts have developed paints that meet the specific needs of different rooms in the home. Whether you decide to use glitter additives or glaze, we still recommend painting the surface in the desired colour and finish with one or two coats of glitter paint or glaze. Surface preparation is therefore minimal. Hemway Silver Holographic Additive is the low-cost alternative to V1rtus, a glitter additive brand belonging to the same manufacturer. The main difference between the products is the price, but also the covering power. In fact, the additive produced under Hemway’s brand has a recommended mix ratio of 100g to 1 litre of paint.Mixing the product with a smaller quantity of paint enhances the sparkling effect. If desired, you can tone down the shimmer by mixing the additive with a larger quantity of paint. Aside from choosing a whipeable and durable white paint, there are a few things you can do to keep your walls whiter for longer. Unbuffed, a pouch of additive is suitable for up to 1.5L of paint. However, considering the price of a pouch, we recommend mixing the quantity with 2.5L of paint and buffing the wall with buffing pads to unleash your new sparkling effect. V1rtus is a high-quality glitter paint additive that transforms almost any wall or ceiling emulsion into a sparkling glitter paint. A 100g pouch contains thousands of glitter crystals that enhance either flat, matt, soft-sheen or silk emulsions – allowing you to achieve the look of your dreams.

Firstly, keep your white walls dusted. Using a soft cloth to cover a broom or a bristle, gently dust your walls to remove a build up of dirt. This will allow your walls to dazzle more brightly, and will also prevent dirt from being smeared around when you clean your walls more thoroughly. For bedrooms, we recommend wall and ceilings paint - ideal for general living spaces it offers good coverage and it's wipeable too, great for when those accidental spills or splashes occur. For hallways, we recommend our tough & durable durable paint - easy to clean, high opacity, ideal for high traffic areas. For living rooms, we recommend our ultra cover paint - ideal for general living spaces, has good opacity and is wipeable. For bathrooms, we recommend our bathroom paint - mould resistant, easy to clean, and stain resistant. For kitchens, we recommend our kitchen paint - grease resistant, easy to clean and stain resistant.Keep stirring the product throughout the process to prevent the formation of patches. Leave the first coat to dry before adding another coat if needed. Just make sure the surface is clean and seal all surfaces not to be painted with painter’s tape. Don’t forget to protect the floors with a drop cloth.

Hemway Clear Glitter Glaze provides the perfect solution for those who want sparkling walls without the fuss of mixing glitter additives with emulsions. The clear glaze is suitable to use on walls of any colour while you can choose your favourite hue of glitter from 35 available options. The secret to a successful application of glitter additives or glaze is a vigorous stir of the product before application. Use a smooth roller and apply a thin layer of glitter paint or glaze to the surface with a criss-cross motion. Glitter glaze is a clear paint containing glitter crystals. The glaze is intended to be used on pre-painted walls and it usually provides a more sparkly finish than glitter additives. Recommended for use with water-based wall and ceiling emulsions, this additive is compatible with most interior paints. This makes it ideal to use with wall, wood and metal paints for a host of DIY projects.Once your walls are dusted, create a solution of warm water and a mild detergent, and use a sponge to gently wipe the surfaces. Leave for 5-10 minutes, and then use clean water and a clean sponge to rinse your walls. Avoid using too much liquid, as this can cause water stains. On walls, the product covers up to 8m²/litre and dries to a durable, shimmering finish. On other surfaces, and especially on fabric, the coverage is considerably lower due to the absorbency of the material. The finish can also suffer alterations on surfaces different than walls.
