matowa/bez połysku

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GLOSS, SEMI-GLOSS, SATIN AND FLAT? WHAT ARE THE BEST USES FOR EACH?
All of those terms refer to the different sheens available in your paint aisle. The more sheen, the more the paint will reflect light and seem to shine. Gloss has the highest sheen, while flat (which is sometimes called “matte”) has very little or no sheen.

Satin vs. Semi-Gloss vs. Gloss Paint
Sheen is also a good indicator of stain resistance and how washable a coat of paint will be. Glossy finishes are much more stain-resistant than satin and flat. Gloss is also very easy to wipe down and wash, while low-gloss paints take a little more effort to clean. This makes higher-gloss paints very useful in kitchens, bathrooms and some dining rooms. They also make for striking entrances, such as front doors.

Farba matowa czy farba z połyskiem – którą wybrać
Sposoby oznaczania
Stopień połysku to parametr odpowiedzialny za odbijanie światła. Wpływa więc na wygląd pomalowanej powierzchni, ale również na jej trwałość i odporność. Wybierać możemy spośród wielu możliwości, począwszy od głębokiego matu, poprzez mat, półmat, półpołysk, połysk, aż do wysokiego połysku. Możemy także spotkać się z takim opisami jak: „satynowy połysk”, „jedwabisty połysk”, czy „eggshell”, co ma na celu jak najlepsze zobrazowanie wyglądu powłoki danej farby.
