PAINTING 101: UNDERSTANDING PAINT SHEEN Painting makes a huge difference to the home’s appearance. It can dramatically transform the appearance of any space and how the interior or exterior walls look and feel. A successful painting project is more than selecting the right color and product. It also requires picking the right sheen. WHAT IS A PAINT SHEEN? Paint sheen refers to the paint shine or gloss or the amount of light it reflects. Higher-sheen paints reflect light and are more durable. The right paint sheen impacts the appearance, durability, maintenance requirements, and moisture resistance of the painted surface. There are different paint sheens or finishes, each with a benefit and purpose. Some paint sheens work better in certain areas than others. Exploring different paint sheens FLAT OR MATTE The flat paint finish has no shine and is non-reflective. A matte finish offers the surface a smooth appearance and is excellent at hiding imperfections and blemishes. It has medium to low durability and is not suitable for high-traffic areas. Matte sheen requires fewer coats and offers the most coverage. However, it is the hardest to clean and is prone to damage when cleaned with a cleanser. Matte paint sheen is ideal for ceilings, living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and other low-traffic rooms.
