    Questions

    About the sheen selector

    What is sheen?

    How much light a painted surface reflects, from flat to high gloss.

    Does higher sheen last longer?

    Usually yes. Shinier paints are tougher and easier to clean but show flaws more.

    Can I use different sheens in one room?

    Yes, and most rooms do: flat ceiling, satin walls and semi-gloss trim.
