Gloss telegraphs a flat panel's every wave
Any sheen above satin on an unbalanced panel shows the substrate's waves, and they appear at eye level on site — not in the workshop where the panel lay flat.
Put any gloss on a balanced-construction panel, and never place a glossy face where light grazes along it.
A single-sided high-sheen skin pulls the board into a slight bow, and raking light turns that bow into visible waves; a balanced build resists the pull, and oblique lighting hides what remains.

Tall doors need balanced construction

Material behaviourGloss telegraphs substrate flatness
Any sheen above satin reveals every imperfection in the panel beneath it, and grazing light makes it unmissable.
Material behaviourCream is a match, not a colour name
The lacquer door, the quartz top and the wall paint will not agree across three suppliers — each reads 'cream' differently.
