Default 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?


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.

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.
