@amduser - does it make sense to use a cheaper line of paints for ceilings?

Yes, very normal since we don't usually touch the ceiling and we rarely clean it so even cheap paint can last got a long time provide that you prepare the surface properly before painting

Finally got it painted with Pentalite since I don't deal with chalking in the future, the pollution from the haze is bad enough as it is. However I was told that the cheaper maxilite was better for plaster ceilings as a first coat without a primer to avoid bubbling and peeling which happened to my ceilings.

Are parquet floors over here normally finished with shellac or urethane/varnish?
I think the floor I'm looking at is shellac because a few spots which have been touched accidently with glue or cleaning alcohol has bubbled and turned yellowish.

there are few causes for peeling, some common one is dirty ceiling or leaking ceiling

No the ceiling is fine, the problem is bubbling/peeling after painting.
