INFO

What it is

A satin finish is a paint finish with a soft, low to medium sheen. It sits between a flat matt and a full gloss, giving a smooth, silky appearance with a gentle reflection.

Why it matters

Satin is a popular middle ground. It looks refined and is easier to clean than matt, while hiding minor surface imperfections better than high gloss. This balance makes it widely useful.

Where it is used on a project

Chosen for walls, joinery, doors, and trim where a tidy, wipeable finish is wanted without the high shine of gloss, in both commercial and residential settings.

How NECC approaches it

We spray satin and other sheen levels to an even, consistent finish, helping clients choose the right level for each surface and applying it uniformly across the job.
