What it is
Gloss level is the degree of shine in a paint finish, ranging from flat matt through eggshell and satin to full high gloss. It describes how much light the surface reflects.
Why it matters
Gloss level affects both appearance and practicality. Higher gloss tends to be easier to clean and more durable, while lower sheens are softer in look and better at hiding minor surface flaws.
