SatinWood. Which best to replace Gloss

LindaMary

Hi folks. Bit of advice needed.

I am getting fed up of the white gloss in our house going yellow. Thinking about changing over to Satinwood this time round.
Two questions: which is the best brand to use, both for ease of applying and staying white. Also how difficult is it to work with and are there any special preparations needed?
Don't mind paying out for the more expensive brands as long as it does a good job. Any thoughts from decorators out there please?
Many thanks

Don't know if this helps you at all but when we redecorated the bedroom in our house we used B&Qs own range of satin paint designed for wood, skirting, doors etc. We got a soft antique white rather than a bright white but it's been in for a good year now and has stayed true to colour and not yellowed or discoloured at all. We only did it cos I'm not a fan of super shiny gloss but the lack of yellowing seems to have been a rather pleasant added bonus!

I've used Johnstone's water-based satin white paint recently. It's very easy to apply, and seems to give a durable bright white finish. The disadvantage is that coverage is poor, with 3 or 4 coats needed when an oil-based gloss would only need 1 or 2.

Yes. This is a concern

Always used crown period eggshell for skirting and picture rails and still looks as good today as it did in 2009. Also use this for the radiators

I use Wilkinson own brand quick drying water based gloss for many years now and have no yellowing issues.

Saying that, the last gloss I naught was from class ohlson, again water based and was very pleased with the results as it really did have a gloss shine to it. Only used it a couple of weeks ago so can't comment on its yellowing just yet.

I also use water based gloss, Crown I think. No yellowing at all.

I have gone to using Dulux Diamond White Acrylic Eggshell

Thanks for the replays so far

We are trying to go full mat and have used Dulux diamond matt and it looks good, a bit thick so will try thinning for the next room to get a better finish on the doors, trim is fine.

I thing Dulux endurance+ might have been a better choice.

I have rubbed back well the existing gloss, undercoat and one coat of Matt no coverage issues.

Not used gloss for years now.

Good results with both B&Q or Homebase satin - water based, but always used water based primer undercaot first, quite often 3 coats of each.
