Good painting decisions begin before the first bucket is opened. Use this guide as a practical starting point, then confirm the details of your own building before purchasing or beginning work.
Choose for cleanability
Kitchen walls can collect cooking residue and fingerprints. A finish that tolerates gentle cleaning is usually more practical than a very delicate coating.
Control moisture and ventilation
Paint should not be expected to compensate for condensation, plumbing leaks or poor ventilation. Resolve these issues as part of the decorating plan.
Prepare greasy or stained walls
Old kitchen walls may need thorough cleaning and spot treatment before repainting so new coats adhere correctly.
Use the right coating on each surface
Walls, ceilings, wooden doors and metal frames may require different products. Avoid using one paint type everywhere for convenience.
Practical next step
Every building is different. Share your location, wall condition and project type with Filadephia Paints so the product, quantity and preparation advice can be matched to your actual job.
