Frequently Asked Questions
What surfaces can semi-gloss paints be used on?
Semi-gloss paints can be applied to timber, metal, masonry, UPVC, and some plastics, depending on the product. They are commonly used on interior doors, skirting boards, trim, window frames, and external features like railings or cladding. Always check whether a suitable primer is needed for the surface.
Do I need to use a primer before applying semi-gloss paint?
In most cases, yes. Bare, porous, or previously unpainted surfaces will benefit from a compatible primer to promote adhesion and improve durability. Metal, wood, and masonry each require different primers, especially for exterior exposure. Some multi-surface or all-in-one paints may include built-in priming properties, but always check the product datasheet or consult technical support.
Are these paints suitable for bathrooms and kitchens?
Yes. Semi-gloss paints are highly recommended for kitchens, bathrooms, and utility rooms. Their moisture resistance and wipeable finish make them ideal for high-humidity or frequently cleaned areas.
Can semi-gloss paint be used outside?
Many semi-gloss paints are formulated for exterior use, with resistance to UV rays, rain, frost, and temperature fluctuations. Ensure the product you choose is clearly marked for outdoor use.
Is semi-gloss paint easy to apply for beginners?
Yes. These paints are designed to be easy to use with a brush, roller, or spray. Many are low-odour, fast-drying, and offer excellent coverage in one or two coats, making them accessible for DIY users as well as professionals.
What finish does semi-gloss paint provide?
Semi-gloss paint delivers a smooth surface with a gentle sheen. It reflects more light than satin or eggshell but is less reflective than full gloss. It helps brighten rooms without showing too many surface imperfections.
Is semi-gloss paint washable?
Yes. Semi-gloss finishes are very washable and resist marking from scuffs and dirt. This makes them ideal for busy or high-traffic areas, particularly around hallways, staircases, and kitchens.
How long does it take semi-gloss paint to dry?
Drying times vary by product and conditions. Water-based semi-gloss paints can be touch dry within 1–2 hours and recoat-ready in 4–6 hours. Solvent-based versions may require longer. Always refer to the technical data sheet for full drying and curing information.
