Sheen Levels

Sheen levels play an important part in helping to protect sufaces in high traffic areas such as hallways and family rooms.  Other areas such as laundries and bathrooms need a sheen level that protects against moisture and dampness. Look for instructions on the front and back of the Wattyl Interior Design i.d packs so you can see what paint finish is best for your project.
