| Three common finishes can be applied to stainless steel alloys. The
#2B "mill finish" is an unpolished and hence less expensive product
suitable for use in corrosive environments where appearance is
unimportant such as industrial applications. The #4 "satin finish" is
the most common type of polish suitable for use in a broad variety of
applications. This finish is also known as a "32D finish". The #8
"mirror finish" is suitable for highly decorative environments. This
finish is also known architecturally as a "32 finish".
As well, a range of colored stainless steels are available. The colors
include a deep blue, a dark bronze, and bright brass. These colors are
chemically bonded to the stainless steel and maintain their color for
the life of the product. They are available in mirror or satin
finishes. Strip samples of the stainless steel products that are
offered by Ambico are readily available.
Ambico also offers a variety of patterned finishes which can be
embossed, etched or applied to the stainless steel. Send us a
drawing, template or physical sample so we can match your unique
finish requirements.
