ᐅ Silicone Resin or Emulsion Paint – Which Is Better for Interior Walls?

We are about to move into our 8-year-old condominium and currently have painting quotes on the table to have the entire interior of the 4.5-room apartment repainted white. The walls have a rough plaster finish and are white in good condition. The paint could probably last another 1-2 years without needing a new coat, but since the apartment will be empty anyway, it would be nice for it to feel "fresher."
Now that we have the quotes from painters, I notice that the cheaper offers usually specify silicone resin paint, while the more expensive ones mostly use interior dispersion paint.
Painting costs, compared to the purchase price of the apartment, are almost negligible, so I don’t want to save in the wrong place. Could someone advise me on which type of paint is best to use for standard interior rooms?

Sometimes your answers are really quite silly.
I specifically put "breathing" in quotation marks.
Synthetic and natural dispersion paints have low to moderate water vapor permeability... They are not very effective at preventing mold growth.
As a homeowner, people usually avoid using the cheap 3-euro paint from discount stores. If there were no differences between paints, they probably wouldn’t all rush to the proper store to buy good-quality paint once they no longer rent...
I wouldn’t want either dispersion or silicone resin paints on my walls.
I would choose silicate paint.

As a tenant, I also went to a “proper store,” meaning a specialty retailer, to buy paint.
I actually live in the apartment and want it a) not to yellow, b) to look nice and be healthy. I can’t follow you anymore. Why do you buy cheap products in a specialty store? Or is a specialty store the same as a hardware store/DIY store for you?

It just never stops. If you want your wall to breathe, you have to keep the window tilted open.
If everything in your house is made of stainless steel except the wall, then I would also make the wall vapor-permeable. But since even an opened pack of rice in the kitchen cabinet "breathes," you can really skip that...
