Specialized Stainless Steel Finishes — Beyond Appearance, Designed for Touch

Specialized Stainless Steel Finishes
Beyond Appearance. Designed for How Surfaces Are Experienced.
Specialized finishes extend stainless steel beyond conventional polishing and color — introducing surface performance for high-touch environments or distinctive material character for design-led architecture.
Two Different Reasons to Go Beyond a Standard Finish.
Some architectural surfaces need more than a visual finish.
In high-touch environments, the challenge may be maintaining a cleaner and more controlled appearance through everyday use. In design-led spaces, the goal may be the opposite — to introduce depth, variation and a sense of material character.
Specialized Finishes bring these two project needs together.
One improves how the surface performs.
One changes how the surface feels.
Choose What the Surface Needs to Do.
Cleaner Appearance for High-Touch Surfaces
A nano-treated stainless steel surface developed to reduce the visual impact of fingerprints and everyday touch, helping maintain a cleaner appearance in frequently handled architectural applications.
Typical ApplicationsElevators · Doors · Wall Panels · Cabinetry · Interior Components

Character Through Surface Variation
A decorative stainless steel finish developed to introduce aged character, tonal variation and a more expressive material identity.
Typical ApplicationsFeature Walls · Entrances · Hospitality · Retail · Bespoke Interiors

Performance Through Touch
Designed for surfaces that are seen and touched at close range.
Character Through Variation
Designed for surfaces where variation becomes part of the architectural expression.
Specialized Finishes
The Result Begins with the Surface Beneath.
Specialized treatments work together with the underlying stainless steel surface. Grain, reflectivity, color and texture can influence the final appearance after treatment.
Brushed Surface → Nano Anti-Fingerprint
Controlled Grain + Touch Performance
Stainless Steel Surface → Antique / Patina Treatment
Tone + Variation + Material Character
Common directions: Brushed → Nano AFP · PVD → Nano AFP* · Natural Stainless → Antique · Colored / Textured Surface → Project-Specific Development*
* Available combinations depend on the selected surface, process and project requirements. Confirm by sample.
Designed Around How the Surface Is Used.
Start with the Requirement.
Four questions decide which specialized finish a project needs.
Will the surface be touched frequently?
Consider Nano Anti-Fingerprint.
Is clean appearance a priority?
Consider Nano Anti-Fingerprint.
Should the surface show material variation?
Consider Antique & Patina.
Is the design seeking an aged or characterful expression?
Consider Antique & Patina.
Guidance by Environment.
304
Commonly used for interior architectural applications.
316L
Consider where the project environment requires higher corrosion resistance.
201
Available for appropriate project requirements.
Thickness, width, length, tolerance and color difference are specified with the selected product; confirm them together with the treatment at sample stage.
Specialized Finishes Should Be Approved Physically.
Performance treatments and decorative patina effects should be evaluated on the actual stainless steel surface before production.
Physical samples allow the project team to review appearance, base finish, color direction and treatment character under relevant lighting and use conditions.
