Satin Finish

SATIN FINISH

Characteristics:

• A satin finish has a soft, velvety appearance with a noticeable sheen.
• The sheen is more pronounced than eggshell but less than Soft-gloss.
• It offers a smooth and sleek texture.

Uses:

• Satin finishes are often used in kitchens, bathrooms, and family rooms, where durability and cleanability are essential.
• They work well for trim, doors, and cabinets, providing a polished look without excessive shine.

Pros:

• Provides a balance between sheen and durability, making it ideal for many interior surfaces.
• Resistant to mildew, making it a suitable choice for bathrooms and kitchens.
• Easier to clean than flat or eggshell finishes, requiring less maintenance.

Cons:

• May not conceal minor imperfections as effectively as lower-sheen finishes like eggshell.
• Reflects light, which can highlight surface flaws and imperfections.
