The process of painting a newly built home differs significantly from repainting an existing one. Achieving a flawless finish is crucial to fully realising the potential of your abode. Building a home involves meticulous planning with a focus on personal preferences. Every little detail, from the architecture to the decor, is carefully selected to make the house uniquely yours. Your new build painting should be no exception.

We strongly encourage our clients to become familiar with the various types of paint sheen available. There are four types: flat, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss. While these differ in appearance, their maintenance requirements also vary greatly. It is essential to select a paint that complements your lifestyle, as each type has unique maintenance demands.

Choosing the Right Paint Finish

Consider the practicalities of your paint choices before transforming your living space with a coat of flat paint. While matte finishes may have a unique aesthetic appeal, consider alternative options for children's bedrooms that are easier to clean and maintain, ensuring a fresh and hygienic environment for your little ones.

On the other hand, glossy paint offers a shiny finish and is much easier to maintain. So before committing to a specific paint type, weigh the pros and cons and choose wisely. After all, the beauty of your new home painting should be complemented by its functionality.
