I want to emulsion my house and want to know which make of paint is the best ie dulux glidden etc?

If you are a DIYer ordinary Dulux emulsion (rather than the thicker trade version) would be the best. Gliddens is owned by Dulux and it is ok, but not as good. If you want colours to last longer and the maintenance cycle to be extended as long as possible then use Dulux. If your repainting next year or two it doesn't matter, Johnstone, Leyland, butnot any designer paint like Farrow and Ball etc. They are rubbish.I want to emulsion my house and want to know which make of paint is the best ie dulux glidden etc?
Where do you live? Paint brands vary from country to country.





In Canada, the best brands in my opinion are Sherwin-Williams, Benjamin Moore, and Pratt %26amp; Lambert. Mid-range brands include CIL-Dulux, Behr, and Sears. Crappamundo brands include Glidden (the most overrated paint brand I can think of), Walmart, and most store brands (except Sears, which is surprisingly good for the price). Kilz is a good primer brand. Wood-Kote is a good brand of stain.





Edit to add: don't cheap out on paint. If you have to repaint every two or three years instead of every ten or if you have to apply eight coats instead of two, you're not saving money.I want to emulsion my house and want to know which make of paint is the best ie dulux glidden etc?
emulsion inside or outside ? it really does make a difference





read info at paint aisle sometimes there is a chart that lists properties about the paint and you can tick the boxes


things like..... washable


.......durable i.e.to be used in a quiet area ( not many reasons for scratches or dents ) or


if for instance , an entrance where there is a lot of usage lots of opportunities to scuff, scratch mark)





tick most boxes tn particular catagory. bingo


choose shade and buy it
We always use Dulux inside %26amp; out but if outside cannot use emulsion as would not tolerate weather conditions.Use Dulux gloss on woodwork %26amp; Dulux Weathershield if painting cement render.Paint varies by huge amounts money-wise so shop around first.Have used it for years %26amp; on odd occasions switched to different brand %26amp; always,always regretted it
Johnson's or Homebase's own.


Dulux is good but ludicrously over-priced.
I would recommend Dulux as the best paint for all decorating jobs
