FAQ
Here you can find answers to the most frequently asked questions about satin-finished stainless steel, its characteristics and possible applications.
Do you have a specific project in mind?
Satin finishing is a mechanical treatment that creates a uniform, slightly matt texture on the surface of stainless steel, characterised by fine directional lines. The result is a finish that is less reflective than polished stainless steel.
Satin-finished stainless steel has a matte, uniform appearance, characterized by a visible linear texture that gives the surface a clean and contemporary look.
Polished stainless steel, on the other hand, has a bright, reflective surface, with a more or less mirror-like effect depending on the finish. High-reflectivity finishes also include Supermirror stainless steel, characterized by a particularly bright, uniform surface and a pronounced mirror effect.
Yes. In addition to the Silver version, satin-finished stainless steel is available with PVD coating in a range of colours to suit the aesthetic requirements of each project.
Yes. The satin finish can be combined with an anti-fingerprint treatment in either Glossy or Matt versions, depending on the desired aesthetic effect.
Yes, provided that the most suitable grade is selected according to the environmental conditions and intended use. For outdoor applications or particularly exposed environments, it is important to carefully assess which type of stainless steel is most appropriate.
It is widely used in architecture, furnishings, interior design, lifts, retail, the marine sector, the food, pharmaceutical and medical industries, as well as for cladding machinery and equipment.
Yes. In addition to standard widths and lengths, ARCH & INOX can provide custom sizes upon request, according to the specific requirements of the project.
We recommend using neutral detergents and soft cloths, wiping in the direction of the satin finish. Abrasive products, harsh sponges and substances that could damage or scratch the surface should be avoided.
