Matt vs Glossy Tiles: Which Finish Suits Your Space?

The practical differences between matt, glossy and high gloss tile finishes — and where each works best.

High Gloss Tiles

The finish of a tile changes how a room feels as much as its colour does. Here is how the most common finishes compare.

Glossy and high gloss

Glossy tiles reflect light, which makes rooms feel brighter and larger. High gloss takes this further with a mirror-like shine that suits living rooms, lobbies and premium interiors.

Matt

Matt tiles have a soft, low-sheen surface. They hide everyday marks well and give a calm, contemporary look — popular for offices, cafés and modern homes.

Textured and carving finishes

Carving and rustic finishes add depth and grip. They are often used on feature walls, façades and outdoor areas.

Mixing finishes

Many of the best rooms combine finishes — for example a matt floor with a glossy feature wall. Ask our team for combinations that work together.
