Can this be applied to damp walls or must they be dry before application?

It must be dry. If you are treating mould I put on two coats of damp proof paint on first then two coats of Zinsser . This paint is super easy to use

Can I paint over this with a nice normal emulsion once it’s dried

Yes it dries matt white perfect to paint over after

Is this okay for painting bathroom tiles

Never tried it on tiles, but it worked brilliantly in a very humid bathroom

Can you paint window frames with this paint?

This is for woodwork, doors etc. It is the rebranded version of the Zinsser Perma White, white you can no longer get. I spoke to Zinsser Tech Dept as I kept getting sent this paint when ordering the Perma White, Amazon still has old photo of old style tin on site as at todays date. I returned 2 tins and complained I was being sent the wrong paint. However, on speaking to Zinsser they confirmed, same paint just rebranded to emphasis the anti mould properties. I think the new paint is thinner than the old one but they say it’s the same. So, yes if it’s the same this paint WILL PAINT WOODWORK ETC.
