Characteristics of No.4/satin/brushed surface stainless steel

The brushed surface stainless steel gives the material a unique aesthetic style and practical characteristics.
Brushing is the process of directional grinding of stainless steel surfaces with abrasive tools such as abrasive belts and grinding wheels to form brush marks or lines with a certain texture.

  • Unique appearance texture:
    The brushed surface stainless steel has delicate and uniform lines, which adds a modern industrial aesthetic to stainless steel while avoiding glare problems, making it suitable for public spaces and outdoor applications.
  • Enhanced wear resistance:
    Compared with smooth polished surfaces, the fine texture of the brushed surface can better hide scratches and fingerprints, and maintain its appearance even in environments with high-frequency contact or friction.
  • Improved feel:
    The slight friction provided by the brushed surface makes it feel better to touch, especially suitable for areas that require anti-slip functions such as handles and handrails.
  • Easy maintenance:
    Although the brushed surface is not as easy to show stains as the polished surface, it is just as easy to clean and is not easy to leave cleaning marks.

How to choose the surfaces?

Whether choosing brushed stainless steel or other surfaces, there are a range of advantages for users with different needs and preferences. When choosing, users should make reasonable judgments based on factors such as the actual application environment, the desired aesthetic effect, and the convenience of maintenance.
For example, in medical facilities that require frequent cleaning and maintaining a sterile environment, polished surfaces may be preferred; while in handrails in public buildings or outdoor installations, brushed surfaces that are wear-resistant and easy to maintain may be preferred.
