As G&S offers. The matte finishes have the hazing effect because of the chemicals they use to keep it dull looking. These reflect light in such a way that it appears "dull". There is no way around this. It is part of the chemical/optic properties of matte.

Back in the old days, the gloss level had to do with BUFFING. The higher the gloss, the more buffing of the finish (like buffing a car). This is a PHYSICAL polishing to create ultra smooth. This no longer happens.

Today's gloss levels are ALL ABOUT the chemical mix to create super gloss, gloss, semi gloss, satin, matte and ultra matte. The more extreme the finish (super gloss and gloss as well as matte and ultra matte) the HARDER it is to LIVE with the finish.

Super shiny = see every speck of dust and every little scratch. Very low gloss = see every foot print and have a hazy finish during certain parts of the day. These are the realities of the "extremes".

Personally, if someone wants shiny I suggest working with semi-gloss. If someone wants low(er) gloss I suggest satin. These are the two "middle" finishes. They are the easiest to live with.

As G&S suggests, if you don't like the final gloss level of the Loba Invisible, you can always throw on a single coat of Supra AT in the Satin. It will bump up the gloss level a snick and *should remove most of the hazy look - but some may be left over.

The Loba 2K Supra AT offers a very natural look as well. Depending on the species of wood, it might need the sealant (to prevent tannin pull) prior to the final two coats of finish.

I highly recommend you ask for/pay for a mock-up on a panel (3ft x 3ft panel of hardwood matching your species) finished EXACTLY as your floors will be. Then put it down on the floor and live with it for a few days (make sure you view it in early morning/evening lighting to see if the haze shows up).

That's the easiest way to figure out of you will be stuck with a hazy matte finish or not.
