Wall and ceiling finishes play a vital role in beautifying your home. To get the best, there is the need to be acquainted with some types of wall and ceiling finishes

For wall finishes

-Paint

All manufacturers have flat or matte paint. Flat interior paint delivers a dull, velvety type of finish that looks great on most interior walls. The paint is easy to touch up which adds richness to the paint colour and hides many surface imperfections. The next interior paint is eggshell, which is also known as satin, silk or low-luster. It is less porous than flat paint and does not get soiled as fast. It needs low maintenance but can highlight some surface flaws and even show roller marks if used for painting large walls, such as foyer walls. Semi-gloss is another type of paints that are very durable and easy to clean. It can be used on kitchen and bathroom walls. The last type of interior wall paint finish is gloss or high gloss. It has smooth and non-porous finish. Its widely used in doors, windows and trim. The dust and dirt dont stick to it. The paint finish is very shiny and should not be used for wall finishes.

-Fabric backed vinyl

Fabric backed vinyl wallpaper is a good choice if you need to hide imperfections in your wall. This type of wallpaper is a good choice for rooms which is extremely durable. It is also very easy to remove this type of wallpaper if you have primed the wall before installation.

-Plain paper

Plain paper wallpaper is quite beautiful but too delicate. This paper doesnt have any kind of protection from stains. Even the paste can stain it from behind if proper care isnt taken.

-Non wovens

Non wovens are new to the market. But this type of wallpaper is more durable than the plain paper. It can be easily removed like fabric backed vinyl and can hold more delicate designs.
