What kind of paint should I use for laundry/mechanical room?

Posted by admin
dnereid asked:


Our mechanical room houses washer, dryer, hot water tank and HVAC/furnace. The paint seems like the latex paint thats in the rest of the house, but the room needs a fresh coat.
I have some Glidden semi-gloss paint left over from painting the bathroom. Can I use this or is there some special fire/heat resistant paint that I should be using? Can I use vinyl flooring? Thanks a lot.
