Different types of finishes for different rooms in your home?

Peak Pro Painting • July 3, 2018

There are several finishes that paint manufacturers produce. There is a flat paint, semi-gloss, gloss, high gloss, eggshell, low luster, & satin. Each of these finishes has a specific function that works better in some places in your home than in others.

For instance, for exterior painting, we recommend using a semi-gloss. A satin finish is reflective of sunrays and helps the paint stay fresh longer, saving your money in the long run!

For Interior painting , the location of the paint varies. For the walls, we recommend an eggshell paint because it allows for washing and has more resistance to scuffing. On your ceiling, we recommend a flat paint because it will hide imperfections and uneven texture. And finally, on your baseboards and doors, we recommend a semi-gloss because it is a bit more damage resistant to high traffic areas.

Solid stains still show a little of the wood grain but do cover mostly like a paint. You’ll get more life out of solid stain. It also saves you money!
