SATIN
A scrubbable, durable paint that adds durability without the shine. Best for moderate-to-high-traffic areas.
SEMI-GLOSS
A scrubbable, stain-resistant paint with outstanding durability and shine. Best for high-traffic areas.
GLOSS
A maximum-durability, stain-resistant paint with outstanding scrubbability and shine. Best for high-traffic areas such as trim and cabinets, and areas that need maximum moisture resistance.
