Penington Painting Company asked what a Level 5 finish was.
In laymen's terms, a level 5 finish is drywall that has been taped, given a first and second coat, sanded briefly before applying a thin "skim coat" to the entire surface.The skim coat is put under intense light to look for flaws.
What is the level 4 paint finish?There is a level 4.A Level 4 finish is recommended if the final decoration is a flat paint, light texture or lightweight wall covering.Paints with different sheen levels are not recommended over this level of finish.
Paint with a level 4 finish isn't used.To get to level 5, you need to take level 4 before you apply the primer and skim coat.The skim coat is manufactured for this purpose.
You can expect to pay an average of more than a dollar more per square foot for a finish from a Level 4 to aLevel 5.
