Walls & Ceilings
Explore a range of finishes for interior walls and ceilings, from soft, non-reflective surfaces to high-gloss reflections
The choice of finish influences how colour, light and texture are experienced across a surface. ULTRA MATTE and MATTE offer a soft, understated appearance, while SEMI GLOSS and HIGH GLOSS introduce increasing levels of reflection. MINERALS creates a naturally varied surface with subtle differences in tone and texture, giving each application its own material character.

Choosing the right finish
The choice of finish affects both the appearance and performance of a painted surface. Consider the light, surrounding materials and practical requirements of the space.
Light
Matte finishes soften reflections, while glossier surfaces reflect more of the surrounding light
Space
Consider the proportions of the room, natural light and the relationship between colours and materials
Function
Choose a finish suited to the surface and its everyday use, including requirements for cleaning and durability
