How do flat, semi-gloss and gloss paints differ in terms of appearance, durability and washability?
Flat type paints hide better the imperfections of the surface. The higher the sheen, better and soother the surface must be to provide a uniform appearance. In terms of washability, present formulations provide you very similar degree of washability in both types of paints; however, gloss and semi-gloss paints are considered a little bit more washable in comparison with completely flat paints.
