Think About the Traffic\"\"<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Wearability is one of the biggest considerations you should consider when selecting a paint finish. Walls in high-traffic spaces need to be able to be easily cleaned.<\/p>\n

Entryways, hallways and family rooms where shoes and jackets find temporary homes and little hands may be making contact with painted surfaces need a finish that is washable.<\/p>\n

Eggshells and semi-glosses are more common in these areas because they\u2019re easier to clean than flat or matte finishes, which are more suitable for private areas like bedrooms and dining rooms. The higher the sheen, the easier the clean.<\/p>\n

Think About the Imperfections<\/h2>\n

If the surfaces you\u2019re interested in painting are older and blemished, you\u2019re going to want to select a matte or flat paint finish that is better at hiding imperfections. These finishes are less reflective, so they do a good job of not drawing attention to minor nicks or scuffs, or uneven lumps and bumps.<\/p>\n

They\u2019ll provide a simple and smooth appearance, even if that\u2019s not the reality of what\u2019s underneath. Higher sheen finishes reflect imperfections in the surface or application. That\u2019s why it\u2019s helpful to let the experts at CertaPro Painters\u00ae of San Francisco handle the application, especially for higher sheen finishes. You don\u2019t want to have visible roller or brush strokes when the paint has dried.<\/p>\n

In part 3 we\u2019ll wrap up this series by talking about mois#ture and your budget will affect your paint finish decision.<\/p>\n
