How to decide
Light decides a lot. In rooms with strong side light from windows or wall lamps, sheen shows every ripple in the plaster, so very smooth walls are needed. Matt finishes are more forgiving and feel softer. Many homes in Gwalior use matt in bedrooms and sheen in a dining area or a feature wall where it catches light nicely.
Before the painter starts: a short checklist
- Fix leaks and damp first; paint will not stop water coming through a wall
- Scrape loose and flaking paint; sand glossy patches so the new coat grips
- Fill cracks, then prime repaired spots and any bare plaster
- Use putty only where the wall is uneven, and sand it smooth
- Cover floors and furniture; remove switch plates and fittings
- Note the shade code of every tin, so a later top-up matches
Questions to settle before you buy either one
- Is the wall inside or outside, and how much sun and rain does it take?
- Is the surface sound, or does it need crack repair, damp treatment or putty first?
- How long do you want to go before the next repaint?
- Do you want matt, soft sheen or gloss, and how smooth is the wall?
- Will the room or surface need regular cleaning?
Answering these usually decides the product more clearly than price alone. Bring the answers to our Gwalior store, or share them on WhatsApp, and we will suggest the right product and quantity.
