Jump to: ,
Paint and other finishes come in a variety of finish
gloss levels, which correspond to different levels of
specular reflection.
Some common names for levels of gloss include: flat, matte, eggshell, satin, silk, semi-gloss, high gloss. These terms are not standardized, and not all manufacturers use all these terms.
Gloss level can be characterized by the angular distribution of light scattered from a surface, measured with
One manufacturer measures gloss as percentages (at an unspecified angle) and gives:
Flat (1-9% gloss)
Low Sheen (10-25% gloss)
Eggshell (26-40% gloss)
Semi Gloss (41-69% gloss)
Gloss (70-89% gloss)

Painting
As a gloss finish will reveal surface imperfections such as sanding marks, surfaces must generally be prepared more thoroughly for gloss finishes.
Maintenance
Gloss-finish paints are generally more resistant to damage than flat paint, more resistant to staining, and easier to clean.
Flat paint may become glossier through burnishing or staining with grease; glossy paint may lose its gloss and look scratched if abraded.
Unlike gloss paint, flat paint can generally be touched up locally without repainting the entire surface.
Uses
In traditional household interiors, walls are usually painted in flat or eggshell gloss, wooden trim (including doors and window sash) in high gloss, and ceilings almost invariably in flat. Similarly, exterior trim is usually painted with a gloss paint, while the body of the house is painted in a lower gloss.
