Different sheens that describe levels of gloss on the floor. They range from high gloss, semi gloss, low gloss to ultra low gloss.
Refers to the visual appearance of a surface and depends on the angle at which light is reflected of a coating to the observer. Coatings vary from matt to high gloss. A gloss metre is used to determine scientifically the accurate gloss level of a coating.
A measure of how high the reflectance of a dry paint film is, gene ral ly measured at a reflectance angle of 60 degrees. Gloss and sheen are terms that are often used interchangeably. Note that the gloss level of a paint can also affect its apparent colour.
is measured according to ISO 2813, 60°. Gloss level instruments illuminate the surface at a 60° angle and measure the reflected fraction of the light. The minimum gloss level is 0 and corresponds to a completely matt surface and the maximum is 100 gloss units corresponding to a very glossy surface.
the amount of light refractive from the surface. Wet oil paints have the same refractive index as dammar varnish. High gloss level makes colors look super saturated with great depth. Low gloss level makes a matte surface. Adding Cold Wax Medium mattes oil paints and mediums.
The level of the gloss measured by a glossometer. The higher the gloss, the higher the number. (100 would be a mirror, 0 would be black.)
