Eggshell vs. Semi-Gloss

  • Eggshell Finish

    Eggshell defines the finish of a paint. Eggshell paint is characterized by its subtle sheen and smooth finish, resembling the low-luster surface of an eggshell. This type of paint is a popular choice for interior walls and surfaces due to its balance between matte and glossy finishes. It's more durable and easier to clean than flat paint, making it suitable for areas with moderate traffic, like living rooms and bedrooms. Its slightly reflective quality also helps in hiding imperfections on walls, offering a practical yet aesthetically pleasing coating solution for home interiors.

  • Semi-Gloss Finish

    Semi-gloss defines the finish of a paint. Semi-gloss paint, known for its moderate shine, is commonly used for both interior and exterior surfaces. This type of paint provides a durable and washable finish, making it suitable for high-traffic areas like kitchens and bathrooms, and trim work. Its reflective quality adds a subtle gleam to surfaces, contributing to a polished look while ensuring ease of maintenance. Semi-gloss paint is favored for its resistance to moisture and stains, making it a practical choice for areas prone to splashes, spills, or frequent cleaning.

Interior vs. Exterior

  • Interior Paint

    Interior paint is a liquid coating applied to the inner surfaces of buildings and homes, primarily walls and ceilings. Its purpose is both functional and aesthetic, providing protection against wear and tear while enhancing the visual appeal of indoor spaces. Interior paint serves as a versatile tool for homeowners and decorators, allowing them to define and refresh the ambiance of a room, making it a crucial element in home design and maintenance.

  • Exterior Paint

    Exterior paint is a liquid coating applied to the outer surfaces of buildings and homes, such as walls, trim, and siding. Its primary function is to safeguard the structure from environmental elements, including weather, UV radiation, and pollutants. Beyond protection, exterior paint plays a pivotal role in enhancing a house or building's curb appeal. The paint acts as a shield against deterioration while providing a visually appealing finish and style.

  • Prep Before You Paint

    Preparing surfaces before painting involves a few essential steps. Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, and grease. Repair any cracks or holes with appropriate fillers, and then sand the surface to create a smooth texture. Cover the areas not intended for paint with painter's tape and drop cloths. Ensure proper ventilation and wear protective gear during the preparation process and while painting. Lastly, use paint primer to enhance adhesion of the paint, and to promote an even finish.

  • Use Paint Primer First

    You should consider using paint primer before painting. Using a paint primer is crucial in various scenarios when painting a room. If the walls have uneven surfaces, stains, or patches, primer helps create a uniform base, ensuring a smoother, more consistent paint application.

    Primer is particularly essential when transitioning from a dark to a light paint color, as it minimizes the number of topcoat layers needed for full coverage.

    Additionally, for new drywall or porous surfaces, primer acts as a sealant, preventing the paint from soaking in excessively and aiding in durability.

    And in high-moisture areas or where there's a risk of mildew, our primer with mildew-resistant properties provides an extra layer of protection, ensuring long-lasting results.
