MATTE, SEMI-GLOSS, HI-GLOSS FINISH
Matte Finish: This type of finish is just one of the tools that allows the designer to elaborate the perfect project for the home of your dreams. Most people have a resistance to the matte finish, but it is exactly the matte finish that allows the noblest elements of your design to stand out. Imagine the matte finish as the silence in the music where it guarantees rest and allows an admiration of the details without causing saturation. It's the perfect finish when you want to start a design with the element of surprise.
The use of the matte finish on the coffered ceiling may seem like a strange idea at first glance, but it can be quite impressive if combined with elements of great brightness and prominence such as a polished stone fireplace, for example. And remember: Never underestimate the matte finish! It can become the strongest point of your project.
Semi-gloss finish: The type of finish is just one of the tools that help the designer to develop the perfect project for the home of your dreams. it's true that most people indeed have an attraction for shiny finishes and we have a category that is here for everyone! The semi-gloss finish is brighter than the satin finish, but much is not yet a high gloss finish, which gives a good reflection of the light without disturbing those who prefer more discreet finishes.
This type of finish highlights the elements of your design, where they are applied, without stealing too much attention. It is the ideal finish for doors and frames (crown molding, panels, baseboards), but they can be used on prominent walls such as framed walls, decorated wheel and walls with friezes. Its use in a coffered ceiling, for example, may not be the greatest idea, but it will undoubtedly deliver a result of impressing friends, family and neighbors.
Glossy Finish: The type of finish is just one of the tools that help the designer to develop the perfect project for the home of your dreams. The glossy or high gloss finish is not for everyone, here we have a category that is far beyond the normal. The glossy finishes can be responsible for enhancing a project to the maximum and can also be responsible for destroying it. These finishes give an excellent reflection of light, which can cause perceptions of small “imperfections” in parts such as baseboards or crown moldings and bother those who prefer more precise finishes.
This type of finish highlights the elements of your project where they were applied, stealing attention, almost transforming the piece where it was applied into a focal point of the project. This is the ideal finish for those who are looking to emphasize the frames (crown molding, chair rails, baseboards), but they can also be used in prominent walls, decorated chair rails and frieze walls. It's used on a coffered ceiling, for example, can cause the greatest impact, but without a doubt it can shock when delivering an excessively artificial result.
The use of high-gloss finishes should be considered as an option for application on “perfect” surface elements, applying more than one coat along with treatments between layers to achieve maximum quality.
