Which finish should you choose for your woodwork?
High Finish 5: for a very matt, modern look
Flügger High Finish 5 is ideal when the primary goal is aesthetic.
Perfect for:
-
contemporary interiors
-
decorative woodwork
-
furniture
-
low-traffic areas
Its very matt appearance adds an elegant touch and slightly conceals minor imperfections.
A premium look, guaranteed.
Good to know
A very matt finish is generally more sensitive to scuffing and rubbing.
Avoid it on:
-
heavily used staircases
-
exposed skirting boards
-
frequently used doors
Strong Finish 20: the durable lacquer
Flügger High Strong Finish 20 prioritises durability.
Its satin appearance strengthens the surface and makes cleaning easier.
Ideal for:
-
doors
-
skirting boards
-
staircases
-
handrails and balustrades
-
exposed woodwork
-
high-traffic areas
It is often the choice of professional painters.
Important
A satin finish reflects more light.
Thorough preparation is therefore essential to achieve a flawless result.
The most common mistake
Using a very matt paint on heavily used woodwork.
The result:
-
marks appear quickly
-
difficult to clean
-
premature wear
On woodwork, durability should often take priority over appearance.
Can they be applied over an old varnish or a gloss paint?
Yes — but only after proper preparation.
Without sanding or a bonding primer:
-
the paint will not adhere correctly
-
it may peel
A well-prepared substrate ensures a long-lasting result.
The professionals' advice
On woodwork, they often prefer:
matt for decorative elements
satin for exposed areas
This approach combines aesthetics with durability.
In summary
-
High Finish 5 → ideal for elegant woodwork in low-traffic areas
-
Strong Finish 20 → perfect for surfaces subject to knocks and repeated use
The right choice always depends on how the surface will be used… more than on its appearance.
