Difference between kitchen and bathroom paint
Is there really any difference between bathroom and kitchen paint or is it all marketing?
Expert Trade Answers
"Hi Patrick, both kitchen and bathroom paints are durable emulsions. The difference is bathroom paints are moisture resistant while kitchen paints are designed for the washability. Hope this helps. Any more questions please feel free to send me a private message"
