Microporous Emulsion Paint

[Vortex]

Hi,

Can anybody recommend or comment on microporous emulsion (interior) paint.

I have one room to decorate in which I would like to allow the walls to breathe. I see there are several brands available including

and Farrow and Ball "Modern".

Any experiences (negative or positive)?

Hi,

I'd look for emulsion suitable for new plaster, these allow the plaster to continue to dry out after painting so must be pretty vapour permeable.

cheers, Pete.

all emulsion is porous to some extent, the term microporous means very little in practice.

If you have the type of property that needs a breathable paint, oil bound distemper is the stuff to go for. Emulsion is a bit porous but nothing like as much as distemper.
