In all there are three ‘Levels of Finish’ available. Level 4 is generally the accepted ‘Level of Finish’ for residential and commercial construction applications where flat or low sheen paints are used. Unless otherwise specified, a Level 4 Finish is the default finish for living areas. A Level 3 Finish is suitable in areas that do not require decoration, and a Level 5 Finish shall be used where gloss or semi-gloss paints are used or where critical lighting conditions occur on flat or low sheen paints. All plasterboard installation must adhere to AS/NZS 2589:2007 Gypsum linings – Application and finishing. For more information refer to FWCIANZ Levels of Finish.
