When choosing paint, most people focus on colour — but paint finish is just as important. Also known as paint sheen , the finish determines how much light the surface reflects, which affects both the final look and the durability of the painted surface. Paint sheen and paint finish are often used interchangeably to describe the gloss level of paint , ranging from flat/matt to high gloss. Each level offers different benefits and is suited to different areas of the home or building. Two common mistakes are (1) using a high-gloss finish on a wall with imperfections or (2) choosing a flat finish in a high-traffic area where washability is essential. Many DIYers overlook paint finish , but we know the key is in the detail. Choose well!
