Stainless Steel Brushed Sheet – Overview

Definition:
A brushed stainless steel sheet is a flat stainless steel sheet that has been mechanically polished with a fine abrasive to create a uniform linear texture on its surface. This texture gives a matte or satin finish, reducing glare while enhancing aesthetics.

Common Grades:

• 201: Economical, moderate corrosion resistance, indoor use
• 304: Most popular, excellent corrosion resistance, indoor and outdoor use
• 316: High corrosion resistance, suitable for marine or harsh environments
• 430: Decorative, magnetic, less corrosion-resistant

Thickness Range:

• Typically 0.3 mm – 3 mm, depending on application
• Can be customized based on project needs

Brushed Finishes:

• No.4 Finish: Most common, fine satin lines, widely used in architecture
• No.3 Finish: Coarser lines, stronger visual texture
• Custom Brushed Patterns: Linen, hairline, directional lines
