Advantages of Matte Finished Fixtures

Sleek, Modern Look

Matte finished fixtures offer a very unique, distinct, and sleek look that goes well with other finishes, as well as with most home and office decor and styles. Matte finished lighting fixtures add a contemporary touch to any space at an affordable price. Speak to one of our expert lighting designers to learn more today.

Easy to Maintain

Matte finished fixtures, including lighting fixtures, are very easy to maintain. They don’t show dirt like other fixtures, nor do they show marks, smears, or fingerprints. They hide scratches better than other finishes, such as chrome or metallic finishes, and they simply require a wipe down every now and then to maintain its luster.

Matches All Home and Office Decor

Matte finished fixtures, from a matte pendant lighting to matte flush mount, match almost any home or office decor, no matter what color the finish is. In fact, you can use your matte finished fixtures to draw attention to an object or to must bright, bold colors, so they don’t seem overwhelming.

Affordable

There’s no doubt that home remodeling can most definitely add up. If you are on a budget or you just want to spruce up your space a bit, then matte finished fixtures are great options. You can have a beautiful, luxurious look for a very minimal cost that you’ll love.

Care Tips for Matte Finished Fixtures

No Need for Harsh Cleaning Products

Matte finished fixtures do best with soft, non-abrasive cleaning products. In fact, too abrasive of a cleaning product can most definitely cause damage. These include acids, vinegar, lemon juice, solvents, waxes, bleach, and other chemical cleaners. All you need is a soft sponge and a cloth.

Wipe Down Daily

To keep your matte finished lighting fixtures looking their best, it’s best to wipe them down daily. This will prevent any buildup of dust and contaminants in the air that could damage your fixtures.

Use Care When Repairing

Even though matte finished lighting fixtures don’t show scratches like other finishes do, they themselves are easily scratched. In fact, it is recommended that special tools be used when repairing matte finished fixtures. These include a strap wrench or a rubber capped wrench.
