satinoitu

Satinoitu is a Finnish term that describes a surface finish. It refers to a semi-matte or satin sheen, distinct from a high gloss or a completely flat, dull appearance. This finish is achieved through specific manufacturing processes that create a smooth, yet not reflective, texture. The level of sheen in a satinoitu surface can vary, but it generally diffuses light rather than reflecting it sharply. This characteristic makes it a popular choice for various applications where a subtle and elegant look is desired. For example, satinoitu finishes are commonly found on metal products, glass, plastics, and even in paints and varnishes. In interior design, satinoitu surfaces can add a touch of sophistication without the glare associated with high gloss. The term is often used in product descriptions and specifications to convey the intended aesthetic quality of an item.
