Question: What is the best sheen or gloss level for finishes and why does this specification matter?
Answer: Sheen or gloss level affects not only the look of the finished product (from dead flat to high gloss) but also its durability and maintenance. Higher gloss levels are more resistant to stains and easier to clean, while lower sheens such as matte or satin hide imperfections and offer a softer look. Having a range of sheen options allows you to tailor the finish to the usage and style of your project. For instance, General Finishes High Performance Topcoat Dead Flat gives a completely flat finish, Arm-R-Seal Topcoat offers a natural satin sheen, and Walrus Oil Cutting Board Oil provides a deep rich semi-gloss luster. There is a wide selection of sheen levels available for you to choose the perfect match for your project.
