Help With Sheen

What is sheen? ▶

Sheen refers to the level of shine or gloss in a paint finish. It affects both the look and the durability of your painted surfaces. Different sheens work better in various areas depending on traffic and surface conditions.

When should I use flat paint? ▶

Flat finishes are perfect for low-traffic areas, including ceilings and walls with imperfections. Flat paint provides a deep, rich color but cannot be scrubbed clean.

When should I use matte or ulti-matte? ▶

Matte finishes are ideal for areas where minimal cleaning is required. They offer a smooth, velvety finish and are great for low-traffic spaces or walls that need to hide imperfections.

When should I use eggshell? ▶

Eggshell is the most popular finish due to its balance of sheen and ease of cleaning. It’s great for living rooms, hallways, and bedrooms, offering a subtle sheen with an easy-to-maintain surface.

When should I use pearl or satin? ▶

Pearl and satin finishes are perfect for high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms. They offer a smooth surface that’s easy to clean and maintain, and they provide a soft shine that’s more durable than eggshell.

When should I use semi-gloss? ▶

Semi-gloss is ideal for trim, doors, and high-traffic areas. It’s highly durable, easy to clean, and stands up well to repeated washing, making it a great choice for moldings and trim.

How Much Paint Do I Need?

How do I calculate how much paint I need? ▶

To estimate how much paint you’ll need, follow this formula:
1. Measure the total length of each wall.
2. Multiply the sum by the wall height to find the total wall area.
3. Subtract 20 square feet for each door to get the actual wall area you’re painting.
4. Divide the total area by the paint coverage (usually 400 square feet per gallon). This will tell you how many gallons you need for one coat.
5. Multiply by 2 to account for two coats.

How many coats of paint should I plan for? ▶

In most cases, two coats of paint are recommended for full coverage and optimal durability. If you're using a lighter color over a darker one, a third coat may be necessary.
