Product Information

I’m sure that most professional decorators will have heard of Crown Trade Clean Extreme, and I would guess that many have tried (or maybe even use on a regular basis) the stain resistant scrubbable matt product.

It is probably the best durable emulsion range on the UK market.

Optiva 3 with its flat matt finish is an interior designer’s dream. Worth a buy if you’ve got the money. It’s also an incredibly versatile paint.

Touch dry in 1 – 2 hours, the recoat time is more like 3 – 4 hours, but this depends heavily on conditions.

Whilst professionals have loved the Optiva 5 over the last few years, in May 2021 Tikkurila recalled the Optiva 5 due to complaints from many in the trade. The general consensus as of June 2021 is that the Optiva 5 has lost a lot of its quality due to changing the formulation of the paint.
