Selecting a Finish

From flat to gloss, both latex and oil/alkyd paints offer a full range of finishes. The sheen you choose is based on the final look and wearability you want to achieve.

Flat - Its matte appearance softens a room and helps hide surface blemishes, making walls look smooth. This finish, which cleans easily with a damp sponge, is ideal for:

• Adult bedrooms
• Dining rooms
• Formal living rooms
• Ceilings

Satin - With its slight gloss, this finish offers the benefits of a flat finish with added cleanability. It works best for high-traffic areas such as:

• Halls
• Woodwork
• Children's bedrooms
• Family rooms

Semi-Gloss - This lustrous, durable finish is perfect for areas that get cleaned frequently, such as:

• Kitchens
• Bathrooms
• Utility area
• Closet doors
• Trim

Gloss - This extremely hard and shiny finish provides a rich, smooth luster and is excellent for:

• Wood trim
• Cabinets
• Doors
• Furniture
