Mirror Finish
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's the Mill of Origin for your decorative stainless steel sheets?
A: TISCO, ZPSS, JISCO, Lisco, Baoxin, Hongwang, Yongjin, Aoxing, etc
Q: How should mirror-polished products be cleaned and maintained?
A: Use a soft cloth (such as a microfiber cloth) and a neutral detergent. Avoid using rough cloths, steel wool, or strong acid or alkaline cleaners, as these can scratch or corrode the surface.
Q: Does mirror polish prevent rust?
A: Polishing itself doesn't directly prevent rust, but it does provide a perfect base for subsequent treatments. For stainless steel, mirror polishing is often followed by a passivation treatment to significantly enhance its resistance to rust and corrosion.
Q: How do you judge the quality of a mirror polish?
A: The most intuitive way is to look. Under a standard light source, observe whether the lines of a person or object reflected on the surface are clear, without distortion, haze, orange peel, or scratches. The clearer and less distorted, the higher the grade.
Q: What's the difference between a mirror polish and the standard "bright" finish on stainless steel?
A: A standard mechanically polished "bright" finish may still show minor scratches, resembling a hazy mirror. A true "mirror polish," on the other hand, requires a flawless surface, resulting in a clear, undistorted image and the highest possible finish.
Q: Is a mirror-polished surface durable? Does it scratch easily?
A: Although mirror-polished surfaces are hard, they are very susceptible to scratching. Even the slightest friction can cause scratches. They are often used for decorative surfaces that are difficult to touch or areas that require protection.
