Collection: Eco-friendly satin paint

The satin finish is undoubtedly the number 1 option regardless of the surface to be painted for interior painting projects.

Whatever the room, satin paint will be the best choice for your walls, unless they have any rough spots or imperfections.

Combining aesthetic and technical qualities, satin is a must-have for any range of paint.

Satin: a product with many advantages

The first undeniable advantage of the satin finish is the aesthetics it offers when applied. While some people think this paint is too shiny, sometimes giving an overly lacquered effect, it is still the ideal finish to guarantee and optimize the brightness of a room.

The silky effect offered by satin allows you to capture the brightness and promote sparkle in the room.

It's simple: satin is simply a must-have, regardless of the surface or the room in which you plan to carry out work. On a wall, ceiling, or wood; satin is the solution for all universal surfaces.

The resistance offered by satin is also largely to its advantage: in wet rooms in particular, where a satin finish will guarantee a certain durability of the support but also be able to withstand daily stresses in the room (humidity, water splashes, etc.)

If you want a washable paint at all costs: the washable nature of satin is a key criterion when choosing a finish. Here too, satin is probably the most washable solution on the market, thus justifying its application in more sensitive areas with high traffic.

One small drawback is that satin isn't always suitable for ceilings, unlike matte. Professionals therefore advise caution when applying it to your ceilings.

A wide choice of colors available

Our satin paint is available in 100 shades, giving you a wide choice to choose the color that suits your interior.

Light and neutral tones will help amplify the brightness of your room. This is particularly true for white, beige, and to a lesser extent, gray. Brighter colors are recommended for accentuating or delineating a specific area of a room.

Please note that, aside from the aesthetic effect, the finish will have no impact on the color you choose for your painting project. Only the characteristics related to the type of room, such as its exposure, size, and the natural light it receives, will affect the color rendering.

How to paint a satin finish?

While the application process remains similar to any other finish, it is important to be thorough when applying the satin finish whether the surface is new or being renovated.

It will be essential to have a support with as few rough spots as possible because the satin will not hide the defects of the support.

Preparation of the surface is necessary, with the application of a coating to fill holes and cracks.

While it may be tempting to carry out your work with a single coat of paint, we always recommend applying one coat of primer and two coats of finish for optimal results.

Our professional advice on satin paint:

Painting a ceiling:

We recommend not applying satin paint to ceilings as it highlights imperfections in the substrate due to the grazing light from lighting in a room.

Generally, flat paint is preferable for ceilings because it has a more discreet and uniform finish that helps camouflage surface defects such as cracks, dents or imperfections, which is very useful on ceilings.

Less bright, the matte look will make more sense.

However, satin paint is an excellent option for walls and woodwork, especially in high-traffic areas where walls may be subject to wear, dirt, and stains. Satin paint provides better stain resistance and makes cleaning and maintenance easier.

Maintaining the paint:

To maintain the vibrant appearance of your satin paint, it's important to maintain your walls regularly. Depending on the depth and maintenance requirements, you may not need any special products.

A soft cloth and soapy water will be sufficient in the vast majority of cases. Be careful with surfaces that receive a lot of traffic, particularly door frames or baseboards.

What is the price per liter of a satin finish?

There are several criteria to take into account when determining the price of a liter of satin paint:

• its quality

As with any product, there are low-end products and high-quality paints, which will influence its price.

A simple acrylic paint will probably be more affordable than a quality natural paint, think about it!

• its yield per liter

This is a crucial element in the choice of paint, which also determines the selling price: the average observed coverage is 8 to 10m² per liter applied. A paint that displays a higher coverage than a conventional paint may be slightly more expensive, but you will use less paint.

• its conditioning

The larger the format you choose, the less impact the price per liter will have, which is why the price of large volumes, particularly 10 liters, always remains more affordable.

• the chosen color

White is a standard that justifies a lower price than color, regardless of the shade chosen. A satin white paint will therefore certainly cost less than a color.
