    Folks,

    Just about to have kitchen/diner completely plastered... mostly just a skim, but with some bonding where repairs needed, and a completely new ceiling, skim over fireboard...

    Is this suitable for for mist coat, then topcoat for ceiling?

    Both kitchen and dining areas are very approx 3 x 3 metres.

    Thanks in advance.

    I've used this on most of my ceilings at home and am happy with the results
    Good coverage and seems to contain plenty of pigment so a nice solid white colour

    Flick through the reviews, plenty there and from what I've seen, vast majority seem more than happy with the product

    A thinned out mist coat followed by two full bodied coats should see you good

    Don't put 'bonding' on an outside wall. Use 'Hardwall'.
    Just saying.

    Thanks...

    I'm not doing the plastering though!

    So it's good for a mist coat.

    Ok for kitchen?

    Ta.

    Kitchen ceilings can be subject to steam and greasy residues in the air if you do a lot of cooking

    Regular emulsion doesn't take well to a damp cloth and is absorbant , stain easily

    Eggshell is good for kitchens and bathrooms or Dulux Diamond (think it's called) both are washable (not that people usually wash their ceings I agree) or even a vinyl Matt

    Other peeps will no doubt have their opinions as well
