No.4 Stainless Steel Sheet
The No.4 (often referred to as #4 or Satin) Stainless Steel Sheet is a widely-used finish, known for its distinctive brushed appearance. This finish, while sometimes equated with Satin, has its unique characteristics in our context. Designed for areas with high foot traffic or frequent usage, its uniform linear texture offers both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits. With its controlled reflectivity, it can range from a subtle satin sheen to a more pronounced reflective surface, catering to diverse design requirements.

Hairline Finish Stainless Steel Sheet
The Hairline Stainless Steel Sheet is renowned for its unique wire-like texture, giving it a silky, linear appearance. This finish, often used in architectural and design applications, offers both aesthetic appeal and functional benefits, setting it apart from other stainless steel finishes.

Black Satin Finish Stainless Steel Sheet
This term is sometimes used interchangeably with a brushed finish. A satin finish has a low luster and a soft, diffused reflection. It provides a surface with fine parallel lines but is generally less reflective than the No. 4 finish.

Cross Hairline Finish Stainless Steel Sheet
This finish combines two sets of hairline finishes at a 90-degree angle, creating a crosshatch pattern. It offers a distinctive aesthetic and is often used for decorative purposes.

Enhanced Workability
The meticulous brushing process creates a multitude of parallel lines on the stainless steel surface, resulting in fine grains that enhance the adhesion of subsequent treatments. This improved adhesiveness opens up possibilities for further processing effectiveness, such as PVD coating or painting.
-
Reflectivity Control
The level of reflectivity in a brushed finish can be controlled to suit specific design requirements, ranging from a subtle satin sheen to a more pronounced reflective surface.
-
Easy Maintenance & Cleaning
Surface finishing eliminates the roughness of unfinished stainless steel sheets, making it easier to remove rust and dirt. This significantly reduces the time and effort required for cleaning. The surface of brushed sheets requires less frequent cleaning and doesn't necessitate the use of strong cleaning agents or chemicals that can potentially damage the surface.
-
Flame resistance
Stainless steel exhibits excellent resistance to heat and fire due to the presence of alloying elements like chromium, which enhance its oxidation resistance. This allows brushed sheets to maintain their shape and form even under high temperatures. With this characteristic, it is e particularly suitable for environments such as commercial kitchens and food processing factories.
-
Scratch Resistance
The brushed finish stainless steel sheet features a multitude of uniform linear patterns on its surface, providing excellent scratch-hiding properties. This makes it an ideal choice for areas with high foot traffic or frequent use where scratches are a concern.
-
Eco-friendliness
Choosing stainless steel sheets promotes sustainability as they are fully recyclable. Scrap stainless steel can be collected and reused once it has served its original purpose.
Q: Do you have a control sample finish production service?
A: Yes, we do. We promise a minimum 90% match to the sample’s finish standard, including pattern and colour.
Q: What does a brushed finish look like?
A: The surface has sharp, consistent, fine, straight lines (or random grains). It has a matte finish with a gentle metallic sheen and feels smooth to the touch.
Q: What are the main benefits of a brushed finish?
A: Aesthetically pleasing: It creates a stylish and distinctive look. Hides scratches: Even minor scratches blend seamlessly into the brushed texture, making them less noticeable. Anti-fingerprint: Compared to glossy surfaces, brushed surfaces are less likely to show fingerprints.
Q: Is the brushed finish glossy or matte?
A:It's matte, with a soft, satiny sheen, without the harsh, reflective qualities of a mirrored finish.
Q: Is this surface durable?
A: It is durable for daily use. However, because the texture is ground, severe scratches from hard objects like keys can leave deep marks and damage the texture.
Q: If my product's surface is scratched, can it be repaired to achieve a brushed finish?
A: Yes, but this requires specialized tools. For minor scratches, an experienced technician can use a specialized brushing wheel or cloth, sanding along the original grain. For larger scratches, we recommend returning the product to the factory for repair.
Q: What's the difference between a brushed finish and regular sandblasting?
A: A sandblasted surface has uniform, non-directional abrasive dots (like fine sandpaper); a brushed surface, on the other hand, has directional, thread-like lines, resulting in a completely different texture.
