Vibration-finished stainless steel
Vibration-finished stainless steel features a non-directional surface created through a finishing process that produces fine, overlapping marks distributed in multiple directions. The resulting effect is dynamic, uniform and contemporary, making it particularly suitable for cladding, furnishings and elements subject to frequent contact. Its irregular texture also helps make fingerprints, minor scratches and light surface marks less noticeable.

Silver
The Silver Vibration finish retains the natural tone of stainless steel, enhancing it with a non-linear, slightly matt surface pattern. Unlike traditional satin finishing, which is characterised by lines running in the same direction, the Vibration finish creates a more dynamic, multidirectional effect.
The surface can also be completed with a Glossy or Matt anti-fingerprint treatment, helping to simplify maintenance while adapting the final appearance to the aesthetic and functional requirements of the project.
- Aisi: 304 – 430 – 316
- Thicknesses: 0,3 MM – 15 MM
- Standard widths: 1000 – 1250 – 1500
- Standard lenghts: 1000 – 6000 MM
- Anti-marking: Glossy o Matt
Vibration
PVD in different colours
The Vibration finish is also available with PVD coating in a range of colours, combining the non-directional texture of stainless steel with sophisticated decorative shades. The treatment colours the surface without concealing the original finish pattern, making it possible to create sheets with a distinctive, dynamic and customisable appearance.
This solution is particularly suitable for interior design, architecture, lifts, retail, hospitality and fit-out projects where the metal surface also serves a decorative function.

- Non-directional finish, characterised by a texture distributed in multiple directions.
- Dynamic, elegant and contemporary appearance, suitable for architectural and design projects.
- Fingerprints are less noticeable, thanks to the irregular surface pattern.
- Minor scratches are less visible, compared with uniform or highly reflective finishes.
- Good resistance to light surface marks, useful in spaces subject to frequent contact.
- Subtle reflections, thanks to its matt, non-mirror-like appearance.
- High versatility of application, from residential settings to commercial and industrial environments.
- Wide range of customisation options, including alloys, dimensions, PVD colours and surface treatments.
- Anti-fingerprint treatment available, in Glossy or Matt versions.
- Well suited to frequently used surfaces, such as lifts, kitchens, shops, public spaces and hospitality environments.

FAQ
Here you can find answers to the most frequently asked questions about Vibration-finished stainless steel, its characteristics and possible applications.
Do you have a specific project in mind?
The Vibration finish is a non-directional surface treatment that creates a pattern of fine, overlapping marks distributed in multiple directions across the stainless steel surface. It is also known as circular, orbital or non-directional brushing.
Traditional satin-finished stainless steel generally features parallel lines running in the same direction. The Vibration finish, on the other hand, creates a more irregular, multidirectional texture with no predominant linear orientation.
The Vibration finish produces a predominantly low-reflective surface, characterized by an irregular pattern that creates visual variations and plays of light depending on the angle from which the material is viewed.
For a much brighter and more mirror-like effect, high-reflectivity finishes can be used, such as Super Mirror stainless steel, characterized by a uniform and highly reflective surface.
The non-directional texture helps make fingerprints, minor scratches and everyday signs of use less noticeable. For even easier surface maintenance, a Glossy or Matt anti-fingerprint treatment is also available.
Yes. In addition to the Silver version, the finish can be combined with a PVD coating in a range of colours. The treatment enhances the original texture and allows the material to be adapted to the style and colour scheme of the project.
No. The PVD coating colours the surface while keeping the underlying finish visible. This allows the material to retain its distinctive non-directional pattern, enhanced by the selected colour.
Yes. ARCH & INOX offers Glossy or Matt anti-fingerprint treatments for both the Silver Vibration finish and PVD-coloured versions.
Yes, it can also be used for outdoor applications, provided that the most suitable grade and treatment are selected according to the environmental conditions, exposure and intended use. The finish is also used for building exteriors and architectural cladding.
It is particularly suitable for lifts, kitchens, shops, hotels, restaurants, public spaces, interior cladding and surfaces subject to frequent contact. It is also used in the food and pharmaceutical industries, furniture, the marine sector and for machinery cladding.
For routine cleaning, we recommend using a soft cloth and neutral detergent, avoiding abrasive sponges, metal tools and harsh cleaning products that could alter the finish. An anti-fingerprint treatment can also help make the surface easier to maintain.
