What makes super matt finishes stand out?

Supermatt surfaces are defining a new aesthetic in contemporary furniture-making. It is a finish that does not dominate, but builds a backdrop for functional and harmonious interiors – subtle, neutral, yet expressive in its simplicity. Matte does not reflect light, but diffuses it, creating a visually calming effect in the space. This is why it becomes the first choice in projects where the balance between form and function is important.

The use of supermatt is also a response to contemporary interior design trends: muted colours, natural light and calm forms. In combination with other textures – such as high-gloss finishes, grooves or wood textures – matt creates a balanced contrast that emphasises the individual character of the design.

PREMIER MATT – a finish that stands for quality

Developing a line of products to meet the needs of modern furniture-making, we have developed the PREMIER MATT finish – a new generation matt surface that combines aesthetic qualities with high functionality. It is a solution that works well in both heavily used furniture and in cabinetry designed for long life and a timeless look. What’s more, PREMIER MATT surfaces are available in a wide range of decors – including Oria Blue, Clay, Dark Blue and Premium White – allowing projects to be realised in both natural and modern pastel tones.

The PST (Physical Surface Treatment) technology used in the Premier Matt production process makes it possible to achieve:

• a deep, homogeneous matt effect,
• velvety soft touch texture,
• low light reflectance (2-3) – important for visually calming interior design.

This finish is available in both the COMPLETE SKIN collection of furniture boards and ribbons and in MELAFOL fronts, making it possible to design coherent, functional furniture units – from fronts to cabinet elements.

Where does the supermat work?

Matte finishes are now used in almost every area of furniture design – from kitchens to office spaces to display built-ins. Excellent performance properties, such as resistance to fingerprints, scratches and dirt, mean that super matt fronts can cope well with the demanding conditions of everyday use.

Kitchen cabinets – cabinet and drawer fronts finished in matt look modern, yet are dirt-resistant and easy to keep clean.

• Bathroom furniture – thanks to their resistance to moisture and ease of care, supermats also perform well in rooms with high humidity.
