What are the different types of gloss paints?

Oil-Based Gloss Paint: Traditionally, oil-based gloss paint was commonly used for glossing woodwork due to its excellent durability and high gloss finish. However, its use has declined in recent years due to its strong odour, longer drying times, and environmental concerns associated with volatile organic compounds (VOCs).


Water-Based Gloss Paint (Acrylic Gloss): Water-based gloss paint, also known as acrylic gloss, has become increasingly popular as a more environmentally friendly and user-friendly alternative to oil-based gloss paint. It has a lower odor, quicker drying times, and easier cleanup with water. While it may not have the same level of durability as oil-based gloss paint, modern water-based gloss paints offer excellent performance and a high gloss finish.


Non-Drip Gloss Paint: Some gloss paints are specifically formulated with additives to reduce dripping and sagging during application, making them easier to use, especially on vertical surfaces such as doors and trim.

Painters and Decorators London Frequently Asked Questions

  • What paint is used for glossing?

    For glossing, a specific type of paint known as gloss paint is used. Gloss paint is formulated to provide a high sheen and durable finish, making it suitable for woodwork, metal surfaces, and trim. It typically contains a higher proportion of resins compared to other types of paint, which contributes to its glossy appearance and hard-wearing qualities.

  • What are the benefits of glossing?

    Glossing, both internally and externally, offers a range of benefits that contribute to the overall aesthetics, durability, and maintenance of your property. Internally, glossing surfaces such as walls, trim, and woodwork can significantly enhance the visual appeal of your living spaces. The glossy finish adds depth and richness to the surfaces, creating a sense of sophistication and elegance. It also reflects light, brightening up rooms and making them appear more spacious and inviting. Additionally, gloss paints are often more durable and washable than flat or matte finishes, making them ideal for high-traffic areas such as kitchens, bathrooms, and hallways. They are easier to clean and maintain, requiring only a simple wipe-down to remove dirt, dust, and stains.



    Externally, glossing surfaces such as doors, window frames, and trim can greatly enhance the curb appeal of your property. The glossy finish adds a sleek and polished look, making your home or business stand out and leaving a positive impression on visitors and passersby. Gloss paints formulated for exterior use provide a protective barrier against the elements, including rain, snow, and UV radiation. This helps prevent damage such as fading, cracking, and moisture penetration, prolonging the lifespan of the surfaces and reducing the need for costly repairs and repainting. Glossing externally also adds to the overall value of your property, making it more attractive and desirable in the real estate market.

  • How much is glossing in London?

    On average, homeowners in London can expect to pay between £150 and £400 for glossing services for a standard-sized room with doors, trim, and skirting boards. However, prices may vary significantly based on the specific requirements of each project and the rates charged by individual painting and decorating companies.



    On average, in London, homeowners can expect to pay anywhere from £20 to £100 per square meter for professional wallpaper installation. However, this cost can fluctuate based on the factors mentioned above.



    Higher-end wallpapers or specialty materials may come with a higher price tag, while simpler designs or standard materials may be more budget-friendly. Additionally, if any surface preparation, such as wall repairs or priming, is needed before installation, it can add to the overall cost.
