What Flat Paint Means
Flat paint has very little light reflection and creates a soft, non-shiny finish. It is often chosen when a calm appearance and reduced visibility of surface imperfections are priorities.
Where It Is Commonly Used
Flat paint is commonly used on ceilings and low-contact walls. Some modern washable flat products may also work in selected living areas.
Benefits
The low sheen helps hide minor texture differences and creates a smooth, even visual effect. It is especially effective on ceilings and large wall surfaces.
Important Considerations
Traditional flat paint is less resistant to repeated cleaning than higher-sheen finishes. Product quality and room use should be considered before selecting it for busy areas.
