C2 Loft Interior Paint (Flat, Matte, Eggshell, Satin, Semi-Gloss)
C2 Loft is a versatile, acrylic-fortified interior latex line built for everyday projects: bedrooms, hallways, family rooms, rentals, and light commercial spaces. Its low-odor, scrubbable finish and easy application make it a dependable “workhorse” option when you need good coverage, clean touch-ups, and a smooth result without over-engineering the spec.
Each sheen in the Loft family is formulated as an acrylic/vinyl acrylic blend with low VOC (less than 50 g/L), water clean-up, and a recommended spread rate of 400–450 sq ft/gal on smooth, properly prepared surfaces. Loft typically dries to touch in about 30 minutes and can be recoated in 2–4 hours, helping you keep projects moving on a tight schedule.
Why painters choose Loft
- Solid, everyday performance – Acrylic-fortified film provides dependable adhesion and durability for most occupied interiors, from single-family homes to offices and common areas.
- Good hide & low spatter – Formulated for maximum coverage and low spatter when rolled, helping walls cover in fewer coats and keeping job sites cleaner.
- Easy touch-up – Designed for “virtually invisible” touch-ups, especially in Flat and Matte, which is a huge plus for busy family homes, rentals, and corridors that see regular nicks and repairs.
- Comfortable to work with – Low odor, low VOC, and water-based cleanup make Loft suitable for occupied spaces where people will be nearby during or shortly after painting.
- Consistent system – Same product family across Flat, Matte, Eggshell, Satin, and Semi-Gloss, so you can keep ceilings, walls, and trim coordinated while dialing in sheen by room.
Where it shines
- Everyday living spaces: Loft Eggshell or Matte for living rooms, hallways, and kids’ rooms where you want a soft look with washable performance.
- Bedrooms & ceilings: Loft Flat or Matte for low-reflectance, forgiving ceilings and quieter, restful walls with excellent touch-up.
- Trim, doors & high-touch areas: Loft Satin and Semi-Gloss are formulated as trim-oriented finishes with higher gloss, better stain resistance, and easier cleaning on doors, casings, and railings.
- Rental & multi-unit: Great for repaints and turn-overs where you need dependable coverage, quick recoat times, and the ability to blend in touch-ups between tenants.
- Light commercial interiors: Corridors, offices, and common areas that call for a practical, scrubbable finish without the ultra-premium price tag.
Choosing your sheen
| Sheen | Best for | What you’ll notice |
|---|---|---|
| Flat (L1000) | Ceilings, low-traffic bedrooms, textured or less-than-perfect walls | Very low reflectance for strong hide and soft, uniform color; ideal when you want flaws to recede and touch-ups to blend in easily. |
| Matte (L1100) | Bedrooms, living rooms, dining rooms | Subtle, low-sheen look with slightly better cleanability than Flat while still being forgiving to roller marks and repairs. |
| Eggshell (L1200) | Family rooms, hallways, everyday walls | Soft luster that feels more “finished” with scrubbable performance for busier spaces and frequent wiping. |
| Satin (L1300) | Trim, doors, wainscoting, and higher-use walls | Richer sheen and increased stain resistance; a nice step up in durability where fingerprints and scuffs are common. |
| Semi-Gloss (L1400) | Doors, casings, railings, and other high-abuse trim | Bright, reflective finish with a harder feel that stands up well to repeated cleaning and contact. |
