Finishes

Matt is the paint finish with the least amount of shine. Matt paint finishes cannot be scrubbed, but some can be wiped down. Matt finishes are particularly useful for low traffic areas such as ceilings, and for covering imperfections on interior walls.

Satin finishes are the next level up in terms of sheen, with the higher reflectiveness .Satin paint can be easily cleaned, although it is recommended not to scrub thoroughly as this will remove some of the sheen from the wall.Be aware satin paint will not cover blemishes or imperfections on the wall.

 Due to the added durability and sheen, satin is a popular choice for woodwork but also  in rooms that require more durability such as hallways and high condensation   rooms such as bathrooms.
