Hi Gloss Seal vs. Matte Finishes: Choosing the Right Look for Your Floors

Hi-gloss seal by Auseal provides premium protection and a high-gloss finish, ideal for transforming concrete floors in commercial and residential settings.

The Appeal of Hi Gloss Seal: Why It Shines Above the Rest

Hi-gloss seal offers exceptional protection and finishes for concrete floors, particularly in commercial and factory environments. This high-gloss finish ensures both a durable surface and a low-maintenance solution, ideal for spaces that demand functionality and aesthetic appeal. Hi-gloss protectant is an efficient and durable option for companies seeking dependable floor protection with a polished appearance.

At Auseal, our Hi-gloss finish delivers a highly reflective surface, making it an optimal choice for commercial environments where both visual appeal and durability are of paramount importance. This glossy coating not only enhances the brightness of a space but also offers robust protection for floors, resulting in a low-maintenance surface. Formulated specifically for dry concrete-based floors, our treatment utilises 100% acrylic copolymer, providing exceptional resistance to wear and damage.

The durability of our hi-gloss seal is a defining feature. It boasts outstanding UV stability and water resistance, enabling it to withstand challenging conditions, both indoors and outdoors. Its protection makes flooring in establishments like showrooms, offices, and warehouses look like new with no maintenance. This solution is particularly effective in areas subjected to high traffic or heavy-duty activities, including factories and commercial kitchens, where the flooring demands are significant.


Hi Gloss Seal vs. Matte Finishes: A Comparison of Visual Impact

 One important factor in determining a space’s overall appearance is the floor finish’s visual impact. The non-reflective surface provided by matte finishes, on the other hand, is ideal for settings that want a more muted appearance or where scuffs and grime are less noticeable.

Below are valuable distinctions between the two options:

Reflectivity: The high-shine surface of a hi-gloss coating enhances lighting within a room, brightening the space. In contrast, matte finishes provide a non-reflective appearance, absorbing light and creating a more subdued atmosphere.

Durability: Hi-gloss finishes are designed to withstand heavy wear and foot traffic, offering excellent resistance to damage. On the other hand, matte finishes may show signs of scuffing and wear more readily, requiring additional upkeep.

Maintenance: The smooth, glossy surface of hi gloss layer makes them easier to clean and maintain, as dirt and debris are less likely to adhere. Conversely, matte finishes may require more frequent cleaning, as dirt and stains tend to be more noticeable.

Aesthetic Appeal: Hi gloss films add a modern, polished aesthetic that is often associated with luxury and sophistication. Matte finishes, however, offer a timeless, minimalist look, ideal for spaces aiming for a more understated elegance.

Suitability for Spaces: The bright, reflective surface of hi-gloss is well-suited to high-traffic commercial environments, such as showrooms and warehouses. In contrast, matte finishes are ideal for residential spaces or low-traffic areas where a quieter, more relaxed aesthetic is desired.
