I feel, because Gloss is more reflective than Satin, Gloss shows more dog nail scratches. I'd go with Satin.

In the 20th century, when solvent-based polyurethanes were common, gloss was harder wearing, because manufacturers used additives which weaken the finish to achieve a satin or matt look. However, with our range of water-based varnishes, there is no difference in durability between matt, satin and gloss finishes.

The Satin finish is a matte finish and the easiest to maintain. Because it has a low sheen, it is very forgiving insofar as showing scratches, dents, and wear and tear over time. The Semi Gloss finish has some shine and is a little harder to maintain in that it will show scratches, dents and wear and tear sooner. The High Gloss finish is the hardest to maintain in that it shows everything - dust, dirt, scratches, dents, and wear and tear in general the quickest.

Satin is a woven material and it is the way it is woven that gives it that luxuriously shiny look. Some products are ‘knitted’ and this method of manufacture creates a rather rough texture. The fibers used for weaving satin are acetate, nylon, polyester and silk. Silk bedding is expensive and worth every cent if you've got lots to splash around, which is probably why many of the famous stars in Hollywood such as Cameron Díaz love to sleep in it.

They refer to the sheen or 'gloss' level of a paint, and it does make a difference which one you select. They simply refer to the level of light reflectance in the paint, so for example, matt will not appear shiny as it does not reflect the light, whereas gloss will be shiny.

Yes. And the difference can be especially significant depending on the surface and area that you are preparing to paint. We can help advise you on the types of finish that are best for your job.

There are many breeds of dogs that are great with children. Almost all dogs that grow up as puppies with children do great with kids. Breeds such retrievers frequently make wonderful companions for families with small children. Mixed breed dogs also have many wonderful family traits that would make them excellent family dogs. Please visit your local library and read all you can about the breed(s) you are interested in.

Satin Weave is a basic weave, characterized by long floats of yarn on the face of the fabric. The yarns are weaved in such a way that there is no visible interlacing pattern, which gives the fabric a smooth, shiny surface.

Our products are not stained...color is the true wood. Older stock has a diluted watco finish, new product is dipped in Weiman LemonOil for Wood, does not clog pores of wood. The Accessory Bar is a Peg Bar, not intended for earrings, only necklace,bracelet, other larger open ended danglings, such as keyrings etc. Hi I am interested in a rack for necklaces -- one that hangs on the wall. The rack is for my daughter whose lease prohibits the drilling of any holes.

Very well, Bengals adapt quickly to all family members and their playful nature makes them excellent companions for children. Here is my son Declan (when he was 2 1/2) with a 10 week old male blue marble. Declan does what most children do, grabs, pulls, and squeezes. And our Bengals just deal with it. Bengals are more tame than most pets if you choose the right breeder.

The cookies are made with basic ingredients , using different flavors (beef, chicken, turkey, veggie or applesauce) to each design, so it depends on the design you want your pet or a friend of your pet to have. I find most dogs like them all. They do not care what it looks like as long as they get to eat the cookie.

I like to use gloss is the wood is more than 50 years old. The floors look well kept and maintained. For floors younger than 50, I think satin looks the best.

Make sure not to graduate too quickly from a 180 file to the white block. Try using the white block buffer a little longer than seems necessary. Be sure to wipe all grit and dust from the nail and the 3-way buffer, as even the smallest amount of dust will prevent a high gloss. Cuticle oil may be helpful. There may be a slight color variation from batch to batch. Allow the polish to dry completely before you decide it doesn't match.

Many, not all, Klee Kai are aggressive toward other dogs unless they are well socialized as puppies. These dogs will tend to pick up the characteristics of an older dog if raised around one.

Most Abys are very good with kind children and readily accept gentle dogs. There are always exceptions to the rule but in general this is a characteristic we have seen in our kittens.

Venus traps are buried firmly in the ground and are not easy for children or dogs to dislodge. They are also not very interesting! If they are in a very vulnerable area a pot plant or brick can be placed on top.

Mini's do well around children and are great family pets. Aussie are easily socialized to other pets as well.

All of the dogs we sell go through a complete testing program that gives good information as to the character of the dog. All of our imports come from environments much like we have here in the States. The dogs live and train in the family unit and grow up around farm animals, other people, and small children. When we receive our import dogs we test them and proof them around children and other animals to insure we are providing you with the most stable dogs with great temperaments. Back to Top

This depends on the individuals involved ? the child, the dog, and perhaps most importantly, the parents. The Bernese is NOT a always the best choice of breed for a family with small children. Many Berner puppies go through a "mouthy" stage that can be unwittingly encouraged by young children. Many Berners' bodies grow faster than their "brains" which can be a challenge to the inexperienced dog owner.

We run the full gamut of dog personalities in the kennel from the extrovert to the introvert and all the degrees in between. Most are very outgoing and love attention. Some are very shy and prefer to be left alone to do what they live to do , work in harness. These shy dogs have formed the essential attachments to one or two significant and constant people in their lives. That is all they want and seem to need. I do not tolerate aggressive dogs or biters in the kennel.

Yes, but keep in mind that whenever adding a new pet to any environment you must take into consideration the disposition and behaviors of other pets and/or children in the home. As with all pets, Bengals will be a product of their environment. A home with other cats, dogs, or children should not present any problems for your Bengal, provided you slowly introduce your kitten to its new home (i.e. having its own room, litter pan, food, water, and toys upon arrival until adjusting).

Educate yourself first. Contact support groups for yourself and your family members. By knowing all the facts you will be better able to discuss your diagnosis with them. Talk openly and honestly, taking into consideration age appropriateness with children. It is your disease, but it will have effects on the whole family.

The three trails we recommend are Waldo Canyon Loop No. 640 (6.8 mile loop/Easy), the Crags Trail No. 664 (2 miles one way/Moderate) and the Aspen Grove Trail No. 712 (.4 mile loop/Easy). Other favorites are Centennial Bicycle Trail No. 669 (8.2 miles/Easy) and the Rampart Reservoir Trail No.700 (11.6 miles/Easy). Take plenty of water, rub on some sunscreen and have fun!

They have better scuff and wear resistance, so they're good for high traffic areas and on surfaces that are handled, washed or scrubbed frequently. They have better moisture resistance, which makes them ideal for surfaces and areas that are frequently exposed to high humidity levels.

They tend to highlight any surface imperfections, so more surface preparation (like patching, texturing or sanding) will usually be needed before painting. They are harder to touch-up than lower sheen paints, because the higher sheen tends to highlight the slightly raised surface of the film where the touch-up was done. They usually need to be sanded, deglossed or primed prior to repainting, to ensure good adhesion of the new paint.
