Emulsion paint is a water-based coating used mainly on interior walls and ceilings. It dries quickly and is low in odour, making it suitable for indoor use.

You can use emulsion on wood if the surface is properly primed, but it's not as durable as paint made specially for timber.

3. Is emulsion paint suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?

Standard emulsion is not ideal for areas with high humidity or frequent moisture. However, moisture-resistant or bathroom-specific emulsions are available and widely used in modern construction. These products contain additives that resist mould and allow for easier cleaning, making them suitable for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms.
