Choosing the right sheen for you

Painting your house whether interior or exterior can always be tricky. Choosing the right color can be tough and more importantly the right color with the perfect sheen.

Flat vs. Eggshell

With so many different paint sheens and product choices it can get complicated fast. Our goal at Charlotte Pro Painters is to be clear and concise when choosing a wall paint. Many people believe in using Eggshell sheen for the walls as it is a washable sheen. The main issue with Eggshell is that it has a slight shine/sheen to it. When painting an area with an eggshell sheen you are able to notice imperfections on the drywall as well as brush marks and roller marks. In most cases, the imperfections have nothing to do with the painting but rather the sheen that was picked. Charlotte Pro Painters typically recommends Sherwin Williams Duration Home in either a Flat or Matte sheen. The flat sheen with the Sherwin Williams Duration Home product provides washability and scrubbability.
