The glossy effect, on the other hand, reflects the light and offers a "mirror" effect thanks to which the furnishings reflect in the floor giving a feeling of a larger space. It is especially required in stylish environments, such as the living area and trendy outdoor areas.
The satin effect is a middle ground between glossy and matte and has not very sharp reflections as it does for glossy. It is the right compromise between those who cannot choose between the glossy and the opaque effect, but who still do not want to give up the practicality of a modern and designed floor.
