Comments (3)1.you can use a gimbal for wall washing. 2.A slot aperture can be used for wall washing or high lighting art, but with a smaller aperture to reduce ceiling glare. 3. a cross blade reflector is used the reduce ceiling and direct glare 4.white is ,by far, the most common,but ,at the same time, results in the worst performance,due to ceiling surface glare.They may blend into the ceiling when the light is off(but how looks up to a ceiling anyway), but they become glare bombs when the light is on...See MoreWhat type of Sherwin Williams paint and sheen should I use on walls?
Comments (9)@Lori...any thoughts on what paint colors (preferably sw or bm paint) I might want to peek at that are very similar to Accessible Beige as I am picking up a very slight pinkish/purple-ish tone that isn't completely desirable... perhaps something a touch to the right toward yellow hue on the color wheel but a similar chroma and lrv??...See Morewhich type of paint should I use to update my doors and trim
Comments (5)Oil based paints were the go-to product for years but these days the water based paints are just are durable but much easier to use. Also, oil based paint will change color with age while waterbased paints will stay true to their original shade for decades. At our shop we recommend the Insl-x Cabinet Coat for kitchen cabinets, doors and trim. It dries quickly with no smell and cleans up with water. It cures to a very durable long lasting finish. It is still technically a Benjamin Moore umbrella product so you should be able to find it in a Benjamin Moore store. We tried the Advance and frankly were not very impressed. It develops that oil based smell after a day or so and stay soft for a long time. Additionally, it will also discolor with age - though not as much as the old fashioned oils. I hope you find this helpful. Good luck on your project!...See MoreMary Teeters
