Gloss Levels - What is the difference
and how they can be used in your home?

Selecting the right type of gloss level for your home can prove to be quite a challenging and daunting task. How many times have you opened a magazine, visited a showroom, or friend's home or even watched a television renovation show to see varying gloss levels on different surfaces being used; and wondered how the owners managed to integrate different gloss finishes so seamlessly to create a modern and interesting room that draws you into it. In order to answer this question you need to understand what gloss is and the different types of gloss levels, the serviceability factors and why it is important to distinguish these differences in order to make the right gloss choice for your home.

So what is gloss?

Gloss in a nutshell is all about the shine or luster of a surface. Depending on how much light is reflected from the surface will determine how "glossy" or "matt" the ultimate finish will be. If a painted surface has a smooth and glass like reflection this is determined to be "Glossy or "Shiny" - as light is directly reflected on the surface creating a higher gloss finish. A surface that is perceived to be somewhat "Flat" to the eye has a microscopically rough surface profile after it dries as light is scattered in a less intense direction - meaning a duller finish is the end result thus creating a lower gloss finish.
