Do I need to use 'kitchen paint' rather than emulsion for my kitchen / utility room?

It's a good idea to use specific kitchen paint for your kitchen or utility room renovation - here' the low down on why, and what you should be looking for in the paint you choose.

Kitchen paint is formulated to resist moisture, preventing issues such as mould, mildew, and water damage.

Kitchen paint is designed to be more durable and long–lasting in humid environments. It resists peeling, cracking, and blistering, ensuring a more resilient finish in comparison to regular paint.

Kitchen paint is typically formulated to be washable and easy to clean, helping it last longer.

Kitchen paint often has stain–resistant properties, providing an added layer of protection against food spillages and splashes.

Kitchen paint is formulated with better adhesion properties, ensuring that it bonds securely to various surfaces in the kitchen and utility room, including drywall, plaster, and previously painted walls.
