Paint Finish

Paint finishes, also known as paint sheens, refer to the level of glossiness or shininess in a painted surface. The choice of paint finish can have a significant impact on the final look and feel of a room or object. Here are some common paint finishes:

  • Matt Finish: This finish has no or very minimal glossiness, giving a non-reflective appearance. It helps to hide surface imperfections and is often used on ceilings and walls in low-traffic areas. Flat finishes are not very washable and may require repainting if they get dirty or stained.

  • Eggshell/Low Lustre Finish: This finish has a slight sheen, resembling the texture of an eggshell. It offers a low to medium level of reflectivity and is more washable than flat finishes. Eggshell finishes are commonly used in living rooms, bedrooms, and dining rooms.

  • Satin/Pearl Finish: Satin finishes have a smooth, velvety appearance with a gentle shine. They are more durable and washable than flat and eggshell finishes, making them suitable for areas that experience moderate foot traffic or require occasional cleaning, such as hallways, children's rooms, and kitchens.

  • Semi-Gloss Finish: This finish has a noticeable shine and reflects light more readily. Semi-gloss finishes provide a higher level of durability and washability, making them suitable for high-traffic areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and trim work. They are also commonly used for furniture, cabinets, and doors.

  • Gloss Finish: Gloss finishes offer the highest level of shine and reflectivity. They create a polished and reflective surface that is highly durable and resistant to stains and moisture. Gloss finishes are often used on surfaces such as metal, trim, cabinets, and doors, but are less common for large wall areas as they can highlight imperfections.

    • It is important to consider the purpose and desired aesthetic when choosing a paint finish. Higher gloss finishes tend to be more durable and easier to clean, but they also highlight surface imperfections more prominently. In contrast, lower gloss finishes are better at concealing flaws but may not withstand heavy wear and tear.
