Bathroom Paint. Is it worth it??

[Deleted User]

I've always used specific bathroom/kitchen paint in those rooms but I now believe that ventilation in the room is far more important. We have problems with our kitchen - we're waiting to put in a new kitchen with a proper extractor fan but, for now, we're dependent on opening windows and a dehumidifier. Consequently, it's a constant battle with mould, despite using kitchen paint. However, I suppose it's possible that, without the anti-mould paint, it would be even worse??

There is no such thing as Kitchen and Bathroom paint. It is silk emulsion that has been rebranded. It is only sold into the retail market and is never used by professionals and never specified by architects or designers.


A good silk emulsion is all that you need. A good egg shell, as noted above will also do the trick.
