Paint Sheens
Flat for ceilings
Designed specifically for ceilings, these paints are spatter-resistant, have no sheen and are perfect for hiding imperfections.
Flat
Ideal for low-traffic areas: dining rooms, master bedrooms. They give a beautiful, almost shine-free finish and are perfect for camouflaging minor surface imperfections. Flat finishes can be used in living rooms, dining rooms and bedrooms.
Low-sheen eggshell
Available in our Clean Surface paint, the low-sheen eggshell finish is our most durable finish. You'll get the finish you want, without compromising washability. Even in darker tones, the low-sheen eggshell finish delivers deep, rich colour.
Eggshell
Eggshell finish paints are perfect for living rooms, bedrooms and family rooms. The finish reflects little light, yet is washable.
Pearl
The pearl finish provides a fine balance between washability and subtle sheen, and is ideal for kitchens and bathrooms. The pearl sheen reflects more light and is therefore not recommended for ceilings.
Semi-gloss
This sheen has a noticeable shine and is highly durable and washable and is recommended for trims, railings and doors. The semi-gloss sheen reflects more light and is therefore not recommended for ceilings.
