Different Types of Paint | Home Remedy Houston

Did you know that different types of paint are used in your house to accommodate different purposes? The nature of the surface you want to paint and its condition can help you determine the type of paint you should use. Here is a quick breakdown on the most commonly used types of paint.

1. Eggshell

Eggshell paint is most commonly used on walls, especially in kitchens and bathrooms, as it offers more washability and higher sheen. In addition to that, eggshell paint is best in high-use areas such as hallways. Designers love eggshell paint as it is relatively flat and low-maintenance.

2. Flat

Did you know that 90-95% of ceilings are painted with flat paint? Flat paint is non-reflective and conceals imperfections better than paints with higher sheen. Its porous nature makes it less washable. Flat paint is also a great choice for living rooms and bedrooms.

3. Semi-Gloss

Semi-gloss paint is used for trims, cabinets, and woodwork in the house. It has more sheen than eggshell paint does. Also, semi-gloss paint is scrubbable and washable.

4. Gloss

Gloss paint is not seen as often. It is described as the toughest, most durable type of paint and is great to highlight surface characteristics. Because of its higher sheen, gloss paint is ideal for areas exposed to heavy traffic.
