NO. 7 STAINLESS STEEL FINISH

The #7 stainless steel finish is a semi-mirror finish achieved by polishing the metal with a fine grain using 320-400 grit abrasives. This polishing process produces a highly reflective surface with a smooth, light satin grain that can still be observed up close. This finish strikes a balance between high reflectivity and a touch of texture, making it suitable for both aesthetic and functional applications.

UNIQUE CHARACTERISTICS OF NO. 7 STAINLESS STEEL FINISH

Below are some of the key features that set a no. 7 stainless steel finish apart:

HIGH REFLECTIVITY

The No. 7 finish features a high-gloss appearance, suitable for applications requiring a sleek, polished look. It brings a modern and luxurious touch that enhances the visual appeal of any project without overwhelming it.

SMOOTH SURFACE TEXTURE

This finish features a smooth surface texture with visible very fine polishing grain lines. These lines add a touch of texture that can be observed from a distance, making it suitable for both functional and aesthetic purposes.

HYGIENIC PROPERTIES

The highly polished, smooth surface of the No. 7 finish is easy to clean, making it ideal for environments where hygiene is a priority. Its smoothness also helps reduce the risk of bacterial buildup, enhancing its sanitary benefits.

CORROSION RESISTANCE

Stainless steel is renowned for its resistance to rusting, and polishing helps maintain this property while enhancing the metal’s appearance. This makes it suitable for indoor and outdoor applications where exposure to moisture or chemicals is common, such as in the aerospace or automotive industries.

MAINTENANCE AND CARE FOR NO. 7 STAINLESS STEEL FINISH

To maintain the quality and appearance of No. 7 stainless steel finishes, consider the following tips:
