Satin finish

Definition, practical relevance and related concepts.

Definition

A finish described as between very matte and high gloss. Product names are not standardised measurements, so two "satin" films may look different.

Why it matters

Check actual samples side by side on a representative colour. If only some panels will be covered, inspect the transition to the existing finish before deciding on coverage.
