TBK Metal offers an assortment of decorative sheet metal finishes that are both visually appealing and offer value through their long-term performance.
High Reflectivity
Stainless steel is widely recognized for being durable, resistant to rust and corrosion, and boasts an exceptionally high-shine polished surface that adds beauty and elegance to any space. Its mirror-like appearance makes it the ideal material for decorative elements and architectural projects within commercial buildings; particularly where a shiny finish is desired. Furthermore, its reflective quality adds an air of luxury making it a popular choice in restaurants and hotel rooms alike.
Stainless steel stands apart from other metal materials in that its surface remains unscratched or marked by everyday use, unlike glass and aluminum which can become marked or scratched over time. Its resilience comes from its hard-wearing composition of chromium-nickel alloy mixed with carbon and silicon to form its desired physical properties – this combination makes stainless steel an attractive material suitable for everything from kitchen equipment to architectural trim or wall panels.
Mirror finish stainless steel sheet metal is not only beautiful, but incredibly functional and easy to maintain. The polished surface eliminates troughs that harbor dirt and bacteria, making it the ideal solution for public bathroom facilities, gyms, sports centers or children’s bedrooms that require hard-wearing finishes. Furthermore, polishing reduces grease accumulation to produce an easier-to-clean finish that requires less dust removal from cleaning supplies.
One of the most widely used mirror-finished stainless steels, grade 304 stands out due to its combination of strength and corrosion resistance. Ideal for interior and exterior use alike, with good machinability and weldability properties, this grade makes an excellent material choice for commercial bathrooms, kitchens, food processing equipment, as well as other projects of higher-grade applications.
There are various varieties of stainless steel finishes, each characterized by distinct characteristics. They are identified using industry designations based on the route taken during their production; these may vary between suppliers. They are used both on sheet (greater than 24″ wide) and strip (less than 24″ wide) materials.
Type 304 stainless steel is one of the most commonly used grades, offering exceptional resistance to corrosion and rust. This grade can be found with several surface treatments for optimal use: #4 finish is commonly chosen for work surfaces that experience high wear; while #8 offers non-directional mirror-like appearance often used in clean room equipment, mirrors, reflective parts as well as architectural trim or molding applications, food/dairy processing equipment and elevator doors.
Durability
Mirror finish stainless steel is one of the most durable types available, thanks to its smooth nonporous surface which makes cleaning and stain removal effortless. Ideal for hygiene environments such as bathrooms and kitchens; plus it adds visual appeal too!
To achieve a mirror finish on stainless steel products, polishing must be conducted using high-grade abrasives until it resembles glass mirror. While mechanical polishing is used, careful attention and skill must be applied in order to produce a blemish-free surface. Furthermore, this kind of finish may not be appropriate for all products; heavy-duty applications like public bannisters or furniture with frequent contact may not benefit from using this type of finish.
Mirror finish stainless steel is widely used for high-end decorative applications in restaurants and hotels, due to its easy cleaning requirements, resistance against staining and corrosion, long lifespan and lasting finish that provides long-term value. Furthermore, stainless steel mirror finishes make excellent choices for outdoor art installations as well as marine projects.
Abrasive blasting can help extend the durability of mirror finish stainless steel by producing an uneven texture on the metal’s surface and helping reduce surface scratches, while simultaneously clearing away rust or deposits that have built up on it.
PVD coating provides another means of increasing the durability of mirror finish stainless steel surfaces through physical vapor deposition (PVD), applying a thin layer of gold onto their surfaces via physical vapor deposition (PVD) technology to produce an enduring golden mirror finish that’s resistant to staining and corrosion.
Mirror-finish stainless steel sheets are an increasingly popular choice for decorative and architectural projects due to their ability to deliver a high-quality look at an affordable price. Mirror finish stainless steel sheets are durable, visually appealing, come in various sizes and are easily cut with saws or lasers; furthermore they are nonmagnetic so can easily bend or shape to fit any design project.
