Paint Cracking on Walls

3 years ago

Any ideas why the paint on the kitchen walls are cracking where the walls meet the ceiling? The paint has not cracked on any other part of the walls.

Humidity would be my guess. Do you have an extractor fan above the cooker?

Yes but the paint is cracking at the top of the wall all around and not just above the extractor fan

I painted my kitchen three years ago, and I love it. It's hard work and can take some weeks to do. You need to take doors off, remove the hinges and handles. Remember you need to prime and paint two coats on each side, so for a door that equates to six coats of paint and letting each coat dry. I used Mylands of London paint, I'm just hooked on this paint as the eggshell is dead flat with only 8 percent sheen, you wont get another paint any flatter. And if the paints good enough for Downtown Abbey, then it's good enough for us. I would hold back on painting wall tiles, as they are white and look fine , paint the cupboards first and see what it looks like. I choose Myalnds paint and had the colour mixed in a farrow and ball blue green. See photos. Good luck Yvonne

How to make a tile wall look like a painted wall

I need to tile a couple of walls in my bathroom which in the original design were meant to be painted. The painted walls would look better, but it's not possible now. So is there any tips on how to make a tiled wall look more like a painted one. I was thinking perhaps by using large matt tiles with grouting of the same colour? The colour is white for the tiles.

Hey everyone Just looking for some advice. I’ve attached pics of my shower room wall and floor tiles. Looking for some inspiration on how to finish it and what colour to paint the walls? I had a really pale pink in mind but I’ve completely gone off that idea. I was thinking more moody maybe like a dark grey? Any ideas welcome. Thanks

Hi, Please see the link attached; https://www.houzz.ie/hznb/projects/buildtech-hallway-and-stairs-before-and-after-pj-vj~6673682 . This is a renovation of a stairwell, hallway and landing we did recently. As you can see, we also created bespoke paneling for the client and the space itself is quite similar to yours. This may give you an idea of what colour looks well above the paneling. Let us know what you think! Regards, BuildTech.
