Bathroom Renovation

A bathroom renovation is a popular type of home improvement project that one might tackle on their own or hire a contractor and painting service before. However, if you don't want to use a painting service and are instead going to do this bathroom renovation on your own, it's important to know how to pick the right bathroom paint. While no, most won't have special bathroom-only labels, the type of paint you use in this room should boast the following characteristics to ensure it lasts:

​

• Mildew-inhibitive. The constant moisture created by the shower and bath in a bathroom means that this room is more friendly to mold growth. Choosing a paint that specifies it has mildew-inhibiting properties will help ensure you won't have to deal with excessive mildew staining your walls.

• Tight structure. A tight structure is how painting service manufacturers describe how the properties sit together. A low-gloss sheen paint said to have a tight structure will last longer and be more durable in the high-moisture environment that exists in a bathroom.

• Washable finishing. Yes, even though you don't want your walls to get wet, there comes a time when you do need to wash them. Paint with a washable finish can be wiped down and scrubbed without incurring scuffing or other visible damages.
