Tough wall paint

[random9876]

Hello - I am looking (after previous helpful advice from mumsnet) for tough white wall paint. Stuff that wipes, lasts, can withstand knocks from bikes, chaotic, bag-swinging children and so forth.

i have seen - Dulux trade diamond matt or eggshell finishes, Johnstone's equivalent ranges.

— specific scuff proof paints, such as Benjamin Moore Scuff X, or Dulux scuff proof range

any thoughts/experience? Is satin/eggshell best? Is it best to go for paints marketed as ‚washable/wipeable‘ or alternatively ‚scuff resistant‘. I am confused by the choices out there!

I am not too bothered about price…I just want it to perform well.

I really recommend Johnstones, and would go in and chat to them if you have time, they're knowledgable and helpful.

Thank you, that’s really helpful

You are looking for it to say Class 1 Rated Scrubbable Matt or whatever finish. I get advice on this from professional decorators on social media. They use Benjamin Moore Scuff X or Johnstones typically. But yes talk to the people in any decorator centre, very knowledgeable but you need that Class 1 rating.
