Emulsion Paints: Ceilings

• Ceilings are usually the first items to be painted in a room.
• Begin by painting with a brush around the edges of the ceiling or cornice and "feather" the edge out.
• Paint the main body of the ceiling using a roller, working closely up to and over the edges painted by brush to achieve an even blending. Work from the window side, or source of light across the room, in sections overlapping each application to ensure that no areas are missed.
• Even out the finish of each section by lightly rolling over the ceiling parallel to the wall.
