A) PLASDOX “Talis” — Velvet finish (main test)

Overall verdict in video: “Loved it”

• Rating: 8/10
• Stars given: roughly 2/2 for consistency/coverage; value for money: 2 stars, but deducted for odor.

Main features / performance claims mentioned

• Velvet finish
• Can be applied:
  • Indoors everywhere (walls/ceilings), but not floors/tiles
  • Outdoors (claimed solidity)
  • On woodwork, facades, and PVC, described as micro-permeable on facades
• Washable; advertised to isolate certain stains (e.g., tannin)—the reviewer says they couldn’t test that
• Low specular sheen (velvet look)
• Dries quickly and can be recoated the same day

Application / user experience

• Not self-leveling: requires good surface prep; otherwise texture shows.
• Consistency/glide:
  • Excellent consistency and good glide without dilution
  • No running
  • Minimal splatter (splatter exists, but not excessive)
• In cold weather, paint gels more → may require dilution in winter
• Roller guidance: a 12 mm micro-HD roller is suggested to avoid harsh texture.

Coverage / opacity

• Does not bleed
• Covers well in two coats
• Reviewer supports coverage: 10–12 m²/L
• Example: used 3 liters for a kitchen in two coats, plus other walls.

Cons / downsides

• Strong downside: odor (“it stinks”)
  • Stars are removed specifically due to smell, even while conceding performance is good.
• Slight texture (“dimple/knob”-like) if chasing a super-smooth finish without proper prep.

Verdict for Talis

• Excellent coverage + easy application + good velvet look, but smell is bad enough to be a deal-breaker for some.

B) PLASDOX “Aqualide Premium Velour” — Interior washable “velvet” (alkyd/aqueous type)

Overall verdict in video: 9/10 (“almost perfection”)

• Rating: 9/10
• Stars given: generally 2/2, with deductions.

Main features

• Described as an alkyd resin in an aqueous phase (“water-based oil-based” concept)
• Claimed to go over almost any previous paint (oil-based, lime-based, etc.)—reviewer still advises checking the technical sheet
• Washable
• Specular gloss behavior:
  • ~15 at 85° (still relatively shiny, e.g., raking light in hallways)
  • Drops to ~6–7 at smaller viewing angles, so it still reads as velvet from normal viewpoints

Application / user experience

• Thicker/pasty consistency than expected (disappointing vs “fluid” claim)
• Since conditions weren’t warm, issues may be worse:
  • Reviewer likely had to dilute more for trim/detail work
• Odor: low
  • Odor level: 2/10 (barely smells, per reviewer)
• Spraying:
  • Doesn’t spray much (not very fluid)
  • Reviewer suspects temperature skew

Coverage / consistency

• Opacity for marking: 2/2
• Coverage test:
  • Used 3 liters for a living room/hallway in two coats
  • Advertised coverage: 9–11 m²/L
  • Reviewer expected closer to ~13 m²/L, but result was still good because the surface was already sealed
• Transition between coats was noticeable due to differences in velvet brands/technique; reviewer references examples showing visible coat transitions.

Value

• Value for money: 2 stars; reviewer says the whole PLASDOX range is well-positioned price-wise.

Pros

• Great coverage/opacity
• Very low odor compared to typical expectations
• Can cover many existing paints

Cons

• Thick/pasty, may need dilution (especially in cold)
• Possible visible transitions between coats if application isn’t managed carefully
• In raking light hallways, gloss can accentuate imperfections → prep matters

C) PLASDOX “Tetra” — Matte ceiling paint (reviewer’s most familiar)

Overall verdict in video: 10/10 (flawless)

• Rating: 10/10
• Focus: ceiling performance and matte streak-free finish.

Main features

• Perfect matte ceiling paint
• Specular gloss stated as < 1 (very matte)
• Designed for ceilings roughly 25–30 m² coverage (reviewer’s practical limit)

Application / user experience

• Drips hardly at all using a “droplet”/technique (as described)
• Glides well under the roller
• Streaks: technique + proper loading helps achieve no streaks

Important limitation

Must not be applied over:

• whitewash
• directly over water-repellent products

Coverage depends heavily on substrate:

• Reviewer emphasizes priming/cleaning
• Unpainted/raw ceilings would likely require more work and multiple coats

Smell / ventilation

• Smell described as not strong
• Ventilation limited
• Reviewer implies compliance/accreditation requirements mean odor is within expected bounds for sale in France.

Coverage / yield

• Advertised 9–11 m²/L
• Reviewer achieved around 24 m² under their conditions (after prep), aligning with real-world expectations on the tested surface.

Value

• 2 stars for value for money
• Called one of the best value-for-money paints on the market.

Pros

• Excellent matte look and ceiling suitability
• Low drip, pleasant to apply
• Great coverage for properly prepared ceilings

Cons

• Strict substrate limitations (no whitewash/water repellents)
• For larger ceiling areas or very hot/dry climates, reviewer suggests other types

Final guidance from reviewer

• For average ceilings (25–30 m²): don’t hesitate
• For larger ceilings or Saharan climatic conditions: choose chalk paint or glycerophthalic paint instead (per reviewer’s prior recommendations)

Comparisons / context with other products mentioned

• Talis vs typical velvet/acrylic expectations: same-day recoating is considered less special today since many acrylics do it.
• Aqualide vs other velvet brands/finishes: differences in specular sheen and visible coat transitions are referenced with examples (e.g., “Bean brand”, “velvet kit” shown in pictures).
• Mentions other brands from the same group/factories (Chromologie group, linked to Thlin/Zolpan).

Pros & cons summary by product

Talis (velvet)

• Pros: great consistency and glide, good coverage (2 coats), low sheen velvet look, can be used indoors/outdoors on multiple substrates.
• Cons: very bad odor; finish won’t be “super smooth” unless heavily prepped; texture won’t level perfectly.

Aqualide Premium Velour

• Pros: washable, good opacity (2/2), low odor (2/10), can coat over many existing paints.
• Cons: thick/pasty (may need dilution); can show coat transitions; gloss can highlight imperfections in raking light.

Tetra (matte ceiling)

• Pros: extremely matte (<1), almost no drips, streak-free when applied correctly, strong value.
• Cons: strict substrate limitations (no whitewash/water repellents); more coats needed on unpainted/older ceilings depending on condition.

---

Overall verdict / recommendation

• Best overall pick in the video: Tetra for ceilings — 10/10, “flawless” for typical ceiling sizes (25–30 m²) when substrate rules are followed.
• Best all-around velvet interior choice with low smell: Aqualide Premium Velour — 9/10, especially where odor matters and interior washability is important.
• Talis is technically excellent (8/10), but the strong odor is the main drawback.

• The video appears to be mainly a single reviewer (“Pldox” test narrator).
• No other speaker gives a distinct technical evaluation in subtitles beyond brief comments (e.g., “it stinks” / “it’s bad” remarks).
