❓ 1. What is mirror finish stainless steel (8K)?

Mirror finish stainless steel, also called 8K stainless steel, is polished to achieve a highly reflective, mirror-like surface with almost no visible grain or texture.

❓ 2. What does “8K” mean?

“8K” refers to the polishing level, indicating an ultra-smooth surface that provides a clear reflection similar to glass mirrors.

❓ 3. Is the surface easy to scratch?

Yes. Due to its high gloss, the mirror surface is more sensitive to scratches than other finishes.
👉 It is recommended to keep the PVC protective film on during processing and installation.

❓ 4. Can it be fingerprint-resistant?

Yes. An AFP (Anti-Fingerprint) coating can be applied to reduce fingerprints and smudges, especially useful for elevators and interior panels.

❓ 5. Can mirror stainless steel be colored?

Yes. It is often combined with PVD coating to create colors such as:

• Gold
• Rose Gold
• Black / Titanium Black
• Bronze
• Customized colors

❓ 6. Is it suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, especially with 304 or 316 grade + PVD coating.
👉 For coastal or harsh environments, 316 grade is recommended for better corrosion resistance.

❓ 7. What is the standard thickness range?

Typically 0.3mm – 3.0mm, depending on application requirements.

❓ 8. Can it be processed (cutting, bending, welding)?

Yes, but with care:

• Processing is best done before mirror polishing or coating
• Avoid direct contact to prevent scratches
• Use protective film at all times

❓ 9. What are the main applications?

Widely used in:

• Elevator cabins and doors
• Hotel and commercial interiors
• Wall and ceiling decoration
• Furniture and decorative panels

❓ 10. How do you clean and maintain it?

• Use a soft cloth or microfiber towel
• Clean with mild detergent or glass cleaner
• Avoid abrasive materials or harsh chemicals

❓ 11. How is it packed for export?

• PVC protective film on surface
• Waterproof paper wrapping
• Strong wooden pallet (seaworthy packing)

❓ 12. What is your delivery time?

• Stock items: 5–7 days
• Customized orders: 10–20 days
