Kitchen/Bathroom emulsion Worth the money?
Is it? I will be painting over new emulsion, if it is worthwhile using
it would ordinary emulsion be suitable for the first coat? Anyway what is the difference between bathroom and kitchen emulsion, both are supposedly steam resistant? -- Residing on low ground in North Staffordshire |

Anyway what is the difference between bathroom and kitchen emulsion, both are supposedly steam resistant? I used the Wickes Master range (which no longer exists) of bathroom and kitchen emulsion, and it's worked very well. I'm not sure I know what all the differences are, but it seems to be easy wipe-clean without any staining into the surface. Water doesn't soak in, whereas standard emulsion is more porous. Wish I'd bought a spare tin before that range vanished. -- Andrew Gabriel [email address is not usable -- followup in the newsgroup] |

Anyway what is the difference between bathroom and kitchen emulsion, both are supposedly steam resistant? No idea - never used it. But doesn't it tend to be a bit on the shiny side? There is also this product: Johnstones Acrylic Durable Matt is a premium quality emulsion formulated for interior use on walls and ceilings. In addition it can be used on suitably primed woodwork and radiators. This low odour paint is washable and wipe able, providing a tough finish that is resistant to condensation, yellowing and most household stains. Its outstanding durability makes it ideal for use in kitchens, bathrooms, hotels, hospitals and public buildings. http://www.johnstonestrade.com/produ...c_Durable_Matt I do not know the prices. And in a spirit of openness I do actually work for another arm of that company. But I noticed it when looking for something entirely else. -- Rod |

Anyway what is the difference between bathroom and kitchen emulsion, both are supposedly steam resistant? I've used eggshell paint in kitchens and bathrooms for years with good results. Have a go with that. It's certainly the safe option, I've recently used it to repaint a forced air (only) ventilated internal bathroom that was susceptible to condensation, no problems since. For walls it is a bit much but an acceptable compromise. As a personal choice, in normal rooms, I would use eggshell on wood and matt emulsion on other surfaces. For a well ventilated kitchen I would stick with that. -- fred it's a ba-na-na . . . . |

Have a go with that. +1. For some reason SWMBO bought Kitchen and Bathroom paint for the kitchen ceiling. The only thing I noticed is that it was much thicker and, even diluted, dried too quickly. One can still see the brush marks. It wasn't on to fresh plaster either. -- (\__/) M. (='.'=) Due to the amount of spam posted via googlegroups and (")_(") their inaction to the problem. I am blocking some articles posted from there. If you wish your postings to be seen by everyone you will need use a different method of posting. |
