Choosing the right type of paint finish is just as important
as choosing the paint color. We are painting contractors serving Crownsville, so we
know a few things about paint finish. The different kind of paint finishes can
be confusing if you’re not sure what you’re looking at. So here is an overview
of each type.
A matte finish is the most popular type of paint finish.
Also known as flat finish, this is the best kind of paint finish to hide wall
imperfections like cracks and bumps. This type of finish does not let blemishes
show through, so it’s a favorite among homeowners and painting contractors.
When you hire us as your painting contractors, of course we will spackle and
repair any wall imperfections we see! But this is a great finish if you are
trying to do some painting on your own.
An eggshell finish has a very light sheen to it. It’s not
just a clever name – the sheen resembles that of an eggshell. This is a great
choice for nurseries or children’s playrooms. It’s easily cleaned and easy to
maintain, and cleaning the walls will not damage the paint if you use mild soap
and a soft cloth.
Satin finish is a great choice if you are having your
painting contractors paint your windows, doors or other trim work. This is
another great choice for walls that could potentially get messy, such as your
kitchen or child’s room. Easily cleaned and easily maintained, this type of
finish will hold up as well as egg finish when you need to give it a quick wipe
down.
And if you need help figuring out what kind of paint finish
to use, just ask one of our painting contractors when you hire us! We’ll be
happy to assist you.
