The Best Interior Gloss Paint for Wood
5 of the best gloss paints for wood
Though they take up far less visual space than the walls and ceiling, wood surfaces in the home such as trim, skirting boards, doors, door frames, windows, and even furniture are the finishing touch. Getting the paint wrong can take a look from fab to drab.
Below we outline some of the best products available for the wood surfaces in your home. Traditionally, interior wood has been painted with gloss. ‘Interior gloss paint for wood’ is the umbrella term for these wood finishes, even though they also come in lower sheen varieties like satin, eggshell, and even matte.
Remember: No matter the quality of your paint, the best possible finish will only happen with the best preparation. Just a little extra time will go a long way. As with any wood finish, sand, keep it clean and clear of dust, and allow coats to cure before applying the next one.
