Start With The
Best Finish
After choosing
the right paint color, choosing the best paint finish for your
residential interior is probably the next toughest decision each
homeowner faces. Paints are available in a variety of finishes
from flat to high gloss. To choose the right one, you need to
look at the properties of each finish.
Flat Paints
are non-reflective, so they will tend to conceal
imperfections better than other paint finishes. They are
particularly effective over drywall, as they do a better job of
concealing tape jobs that are not thoroughly sanded or where a
very porous joint compound has been used. However, the surface
of flat paint is rougher in texture and that can trap dirt.
Cleaning is more difficult than with glossier finishes.
Therefore, it is best to use flat paints only in areas that
rarely get dirty. Some residential areas where flat paint would
be recommended are ceilings and bedrooms.
Flat Enamel
has the same features as satin but less luster. The finish has
an angular sheen that takes on a richer look. Generally flat
enamel is used in hallways, children’s bedrooms and living
rooms.
Satin
finish is also known as "Eggshell" or
"Low-Luster". The sheen is lower than semi-gloss
finishes. In general though, Satin and Low-Luster have a
slightly higher sheen than Eggshell. All of these finishes
impart more warmth and depth to surfaces than do flat paints.
The also resist staining better than flat finishes but not as
well as gloss and semi-gloss finishes. Possible residential
areas for satin finishes are hallways, bathrooms, living rooms,
kitchens, cabinets, doors and window trim. They are recommended
for bathrooms.
Semi-Gloss
paints have a glossy finish that is not as highly reflective as
the gloss paints. They offer good stain resistance and are easy
to clean. Although available in latex and oil based
formulations, most experts agree that 100% acrylic latex
formulas are the best quality.
Gloss
is often called "High Gloss" and has a highly
reflective finish. They are the toughest, most durable and most
stain-resistant types of paints. They are also easier to clean.
However, gloss paints tend to highlight surface imperfections. A
good level surface for a gloss finish is a must. Gloss paints
are also called enamels. They are available in latex or alkyd
based formulations. The latex paints dry more quickly, resist
yellowing and have more mildew resistance. Alkyd paints offer
greater hardness and abrasion resistance.
Both the semi-gloss
paints and gloss paints are recommended in bathrooms,
kitchens, cabinets, doors, windows and window trim.
If in doubt to
the best finish for a particular area in your home, be sure to
ask the painting contractor’s estimator when he comes out to
quote a price on your home. Usually the estimator will be able
to help you choose a finish based on his knowledge, your
particular situation and past experience with the product. Also,
be aware that the cost of the paint may vary depending on the
particular finish you choose. However, choosing the right finish
from the start may save you more in the end.
As always - we
hope you enjoy our handy tips!
