What Semi-Gloss Paint Means
Semi-gloss paint has a durable, reflective finish that is designed for frequent cleaning and surfaces that receive regular contact.
Where It Is Commonly Used
It is commonly used on trim, doors, cabinets, baseboards, and selected kitchen or bathroom surfaces. It is also used where moisture resistance and cleanability are important.
Benefits
Semi-gloss creates a crisp contrast against wall paint and stands up well to wiping and repeated use. It can highlight architectural details and protect high-contact surfaces.
Important Considerations
The reflective finish shows surface defects more clearly than lower sheens. Careful sanding, caulking, repair, and application are needed for a clean result.
