Eggshell Finish

EGGSHELL FINISH

Characteristics:

• An eggshell finish is named for its resemblance to the slight sheen of an eggshell.
• It has a soft, low-level gloss that is more reflective than flat but less than satin.
• The finish has a smooth texture with a gentle luster.

Uses:

Eggshell finishes are versatile and can be used in a variety of interior spaces, including living rooms, bedrooms, hallways, and dining rooms.

They work well on walls where a slight sheen and increased durability are desired without being too shiny.

Pros:

• Offers a subtle sheen that adds a touch of elegance and depth to your space.
• Easier to clean than flat finishes, making it a suitable choice for areas with moderate traffic.
• Conceals minor imperfections better than higher-gloss finishes.

Cons:

• Not as durable as higher-gloss options, so it may not be the best choice for high-traffic areas or areas prone to moisture.
