Matte / Satin protection film

For stone that should look like stone. A soft, low-sheen film that keeps honed and textured surfaces natural, and stops etching, stains and everyday marks.

Honed limestone with a soft, even matte texture, suited to Matte / Satin film

What Matte / Satin looks like

Soft light. Natural texture. No shine.

Diffused, not dull

Light spreads softly across the surface instead of bouncing back, giving honed stone the calm, even glow designers choose it for.

Feels like stone

A fine micro-texture gives the film a smooth, velvety feel under your hand, close to honed stone rather than a slick coating.

Hides the everyday

Fingerprints, water spots and dust are far less visible than on a gloss surface, which is why it suits busy family kitchens and dark stone.

Best for

Where Matte / Satin is usually chosen

Most people pick Matte / Satin to keep a honed, leathered or brushed finish as it is. Others use it to soften a polished surface. The protection is identical either way.

Built in

What the Matte / Satin film does for you

Stops etching

Acids never reach the stone, so honed surfaces stay even instead of going patchy.

Blocks stains

Porous stones like travertine and limestone can no longer soak anything up.

Self-healing

Fine everyday marks in the top layer fade with warmth.

Non-yellowing

UV-stable aliphatic polyurethane stays clear.

Easy cleaning

Normal non-abrasive household cleaners are fine.

10-year warranty

Engineered for 10 to 15 years, warranted in writing for 10.

Living with Matte / Satin

Wipe with a soft cloth and any non-abrasive household cleaner; you no longer need special stone products. As with any benchtop, use a chopping board for knives and a trivet for pots straight off the stove.

Gloss vs Matte / Satin

Same protection.
The only difference is the look.

Both films are the same material with the same protective performance and the same warranty. Choose the one that suits the way you want your stone to look.
