Matte, gloss or satin — which should you choose

Matte doesn’t glare or fragment the interior with reflections. Closest look to perfectly skimmed plaster. Best for bedrooms, studies, kids’ rooms and classic interiors.

Matte hides minor slab unevenness better than gloss — no reflections to catch the eye. In Tashkent new builds it’s the go-to for calm sleep without AC or TV glare.

Care is simple: wipe with a soft damp cloth every few months. Less visible dust and fingerprints than gloss — a plus for families with kids.

Gloss reflects light and furniture — the room feels taller and brighter. Great for kitchens, bathrooms and narrow halls. Dust and fingerprints show a bit more — wipe a little more often.

The mirror effect works especially well in compact Tashkent flats. Light tones — white, milk, light grey — maximize the height illusion.

Gloss needs precise install: any uneven light platform can glare. POTOLOK+ uses flat mounts and accurate leveling — we plan spot layout at survey.

Satin gives a soft pearl sheen without a mirror. Universal for living rooms, kitchen-living and bedrooms. Often chosen by people who want neither flat matte nor strong gloss.

By day satin shimmers gently; with warm LEDs at night it glows without harsh furniture reflections. A compromise for open-plan spaces.

Care is closer to gloss in steamy zones — wipe every 1–2 months on kitchen and bath ceilings.

• Bedroom / study → matte
• Kitchen / bath → gloss or satin
• Living room → satin or matte
• Low ceiling → light gloss

Kids’ rooms usually get matte: no glare, calmer mood. Halls and corridors — gloss or satin to widen narrow space visually.

Unsure between two finishes? Book a free survey — we bring all three samples to your walls and floor.

White remains the bestseller across all finishes. Warm white and beige suit classic and Scandinavian styles; cool white fits modern grey-floor interiors.

Gloss amplifies wall color in reflection — bold accent walls “rise” to the ceiling. Matte stays neutral with wallpaper or decorative plaster.

Plan lighting before picking a finish: gloss needs symmetrical spots; matte forgives small deviations. POTOLOK+ helps with layout at survey — free across Tashkent.

All three MSD finishes last decades with normal use. 15-year warranty from POTOLOK+ covers film and install — matte or gloss alike.

No abrasives or solvents — soft sponge and mild cleaner are enough. Wipe kitchens and baths more often due to grease and condensation.

1-day install is standard for one room. Ventilate 2–3 hours after install; odorless MSD may have a brief technical smell during heating that fades quickly.
