Choosing the right finish is easy; the chart below shows more information on each paint type. For walls, Matt Emulsion gives a classic flat look, and Water Based Eggshell can be used to achieve a completely scrubbable surface. For woodwork and metalwork, the Eggshell paints have an attractive flat quality, while the Gloss has a very smart, high sheen; both finishes can provide a beautiful textural contrast; inside and out. All colours are available in all finishes.
