Brightness
Paints with this nature would lead to highly reflective surface when applied. Bright solvent-based paints would be difficult because they tend to be more resistant to stains and are very durable. Because these paints are very easy to clean, they can be applied in areas where the traffic would be quite high resulting in the accumulation of dust and smoke in the first outer layers.
Semi-Gloss
Despite the same features as high durability and perfect stain resistance, they are not similar to overlook, as they are less bright. This would be good in several places like children in the rooms, corridors, kitchens and bathrooms.
Satin
This comes third in the list indicating that it gives a low gloss finish although it is easy to clean and also offers good stain resistance. The best places where it can be used are dining rooms and game rooms.
Eggshell
Although this is not seen in the primary classification of the paints, it still plays an important role since it tends to be smooth. However, the final splendor would be low and, therefore, would have been applied by the individual only in areas such as dining room, study and bedroom.
Oil Based Glazes
The traditional type of products are available in the market today for the application of both inside and outside. The main drawback with them is that they will turn yellow when used inside. They are not very flexible in nature, besides being so resistant to abrasion that makes them suitable only for wetlands. The best part of this is frequent and easy cleaning of the surface.
