Paint finishes and sheen

Sheen, primer and paint type affect durability and how light reads on the wall. We advise on walls, woodwork and joinery, then issue a schedule your decorator can follow.

Sheen and surface

Matt, eggshell and satin for walls and woodwork

Match paint type to how often the surface is touched. Hall woodwork usually needs a harder-wearing satin; bedroom walls often take matt. Joinery finishes are specified separately from wall paint so panel edges and door faces stay consistent.

Joinery spray or brush finish options discussed
Sample pots tested on boards in the room

What we specify

Schedules versus decorator work on site

We supply paint schedules and finish specifications. Large wall areas are usually painted by decorating contractors you appoint. Joinery finished in a workshop may arrive pre-painted - field touch-up on site is planned where cuts and fixings occur.

Colour schedules with product codes for decorators
Drying times affect installation sequencing
Existing lead paint is not disturbed without a survey
Exterior render and masonry out of scope unless agreed

Next step

Bring photos of walls and woodwork

We will recommend sheen and preparation for each surface, then issue product codes for your decorator.
