About this deal

However, don’t expect to achieve a flawless result unless you’re an expert. Silk paint highlights imperfections and you will either have to see them regularly or learn how to prepare the surface properly. And while silk paint looks amazing on walls, it is a less inspired choice for the ceiling. Silk paint is sophisticated and elegant. It is less porous than matt paint and it doesn’t get soiled as fast. The mysterious glow makes the paint appropriate to use in the kid’s bedroom and in the hallway, but the family room can also benefit from a slight glow. Matt paint is usually self-levelling, which means you won’t even have to worry about brush strokes. Neutral colours are adequate to use in all interior styles while dramatic shades are ideal to use on a feature wall or to create a focal point around the fireplace.

Silk paint, on the other hand, is best if you want the environment to be practical yet stylish. The soft glow adds elegance and the smooth surface is very easy to clean. Almost all silk paints are washable and you can wipe them clean with a soft sponge. Silk paint is also ideal to use on a feature wall if you want to add finishing touches with glitter glaze or additives. The most popular interior paint finishes are smooth matt and smooth silk. They provide different effects in different rooms, and you should use both in your home. Therefore, both matt and silk are great products and you should just choose the most adequate for the room you’re decorating. Matt paint is one of the most popular interior paints. It dries to a contemporary yet elegant look that blends in all interior styles. This paint is the easiest to touch up and add a new richness to the colour. Hiding minor surface imperfections, the paint looks at its best in the foyer and living room, in a formal dining room, in the master bedroom or in the guest’s bedroom. Our interior paints selection also includes specialist options, such as radiator paints, tile paints, furniture paints, barbecue paints, metal paints and even floor paints.Silk paint dries to a smooth low-sheen finish that provides a graceful glow. This paint is elegant and easy to maintain, but its slightly shiny surface may highlight some surface imperfections.

Interior wall paints come in a range of finishes, but if colours represent an important criterion when choosing the paint product, the finish is often overlooked. But the truth is that the finish can make or break the end result. When it comes to costs, both matt and silk emulsions have similar prices, so this won’t help you decide which paint is the best. From pure brilliant white to a whole spectrum of vibrant colour, and from matt emulsion paints to silk finishes, you’ll find the perfect tone and look within our range of interior paints - including wall and ceiling paints.You can also find gloss and trim paints for wood and other features, undercoat paints to prime surfaces perfectly, and tough Kitchen & Bathroom paints for surfaces with heavy use in spaces that experience high temperatures and moisture.

Eggshell and satin are two finishes often found in speciality paints, such as bathroom or kitchen products. And this creates the confusion between matt and silk. After all, you’re left with just a few rooms and no idea on which finish to choose. Before finding out when you should use matt and when to use silk, let’s run through the differences between them. The two interior wall paints intended for residential use are the flat paints, which are matt or ultra-matt, and the low-sheen paints, a range of products comprising eggshell, silk and satin finishes. Matt paint is defined by experts as dull. It doesn’t shine at all and dries to a smooth, velvety finish that hides surface imperfections. The downside is that the velvety surface is porous and gets stained easily. You can opt for washable matt paint, but it will still need more maintenance than silk. Washable matt is ideal to use in any areas that may get dirty; however, this paint doesn’t dry to a velvety finish. Whether you’re looking for colourful paints or high quality primers, finishes and other treatments, you’ll find everything you need in B&M’s range.Wall and ceiling paints come in four sheen finishes that vary from matt or dull to high-sheen or shiny. Only a few people know that mid- and high-sheen wall paints are not intended for domestic use. These products are usually formulated to use in high-traffic areas in public spaces such as schools, offices, or industrial kitchens. Mid-sheen or high-sheen paints are too shiny to add value to a residential space. With a great range of paints to choose from - all at the best possible price - you can make a big difference to your home for less thanks to B&M. Interior Paint Because it is harder to achieve a flawless look with silk paint, we recommend using this product in those areas that are usually hidden from the guests’ eyes but that get soiled easier.
