• In texture, there are smooth, textured (with embossed patterns), matte, glossy (from a modest overflow to varnish or satin sheen) coatings.
• In terms of resistance to moisture: unstable (they do not tolerate moisture, cannot be cleaned and cleaned with water), moisture resistant (with a special protective coating - they can be wiped off with a damp cloth) and washable (assume the effect of cleaning compounds and brushes).
