When to Use Gloss Meister Panels:

In parts of the house where there isn’t much natural light coming in, think about selecting a glossy finish. In addition, they reflect light well, which enlarges the appearance of the space.

– If you want to use darker tones for your space, consider giving it a glossy finish without having it look depressing.

– A glossy finish may particularly enhance brilliant, deep colours that stand out and give the appearance of your room a more clean, and fresh feel if you also enjoy those kinds of colours. Just be careful not to use a colour so bright that it overpowers the entire look.

What Are Matte Finish Laminates?

When to Use Matte Meister Panels:

– Matte can be your holy grail if you’re obsessed with low lighting and don’t like your room to be overly bright. Matte surfaces absorb and soften light rather than reflecting it, which makes your room incredibly comfortable to be in.
