There are several types of paint finishes, each with its own properties and recommended usage. The main types of paint finishes are: Flat/Matte: This type of finish has no sheen and provides a smooth, non-reflective surface. It is often used on walls and ceilings in areas that do not receive a lot of traffic, such as bedrooms, living rooms, and dining rooms. Eggshell: This finish has a slight sheen and is more durable than flat/matte finishes. It is often used in high-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms, as it is easier to clean. Satin: This finish has a soft sheen and is more durable than eggshell finishes. It is often used on doors, trim, and cabinets, as it is resistant to moisture and stains. Semi-gloss: This finish has a noticeable sheen and is highly durable and resistant to moisture and stains. It is often used in high-moisture areas like bathrooms, kitchens, and laundry rooms, as well as on trim and cabinets. Gloss: This finish has a high sheen and is highly durable and resistant to moisture and stains. It is often used on surfaces that require a high level of durability, such as metal surfaces, doors, and cabinets. The choice of paint finish depends on the surface being painted and the intended use of the space. For example, a flat/matte finish may be ideal for a bedroom or living room, while a semi-gloss or gloss finish may be more appropriate for a kitchen or bathroom. Call: 01332 498716 for a chat.
