Brushed Finish Hairline Stainless Steel Sheet Metal
The surface texture of brushed finish stainless steel sheet looks like straight hair, so it’s also known as a hairline stainless steel sheet. The hairline grain is processed by applying the #4 finishing technique, which dully polishes with a metal bristle brush turning on a wheel or belt that moves in the same direction when polishing the metal surface, then use a medium non-woven abrasive belt to re-polish the surface with some greaseless compound make it more delicate, and it eventually achieves scratched texture and effect that looks stunning. Brushed stainless steel sheet is widely used for many applications such as appliance enclosures, kitchen backsplashes, wall cladding, and other architectural and decorative designs.

Applications For Brushed Metal Sheet With Hearline Texture
When using stainless steel for applications that easily get stained and dirty on the surface, particularly that of frequently being touched by people in public areas such as elevators, kitchens, restaurants, and so on, a brushed hairline finish would be the perfect type for these purposes. Unlike the mirror stainless steel sheet or other metals without finish, the dense hairline grains on the surface look beautiful and provide a milder tone, and its texture can hide scratches, fingerprints, and other blemishes. Hairline stainless steel sheet is also suitable for the purpose not required a highly reflective effect to brighten the space.
With some beneficial properties such as easy cleaning and low maintenance, it will not keep fingerprints and stains on the surface when touched, so brushed finish stainless steel sheets are more and more popular in applications of kitchen, restroom, and enclosure of refrigerators or washing machine.

What is Hairline Stainless Steel?
Hairline stainless steel is a type of metal having the surface directionally polished by a rotational bristle brush on a wheel or belt, the brush is driven to grind the surface in the same direction. Such a finishing process can create grains that look like straight hairlines on the surface. Afterward, use a tender non-woven abrasive pad or belt to soften the grains. A dull matte texture can be made by applying the #4 polishing technique. The brushing process can reduce the reflectivity on the surface, but the straight-line texture can present a luster effect that most people regard as a unique aesthetic element. Such an appealing effect is often popular for architecture and other applications.
In addition to stainless steel, the brushing finish also can be utilized for other metal types, such as aluminium or copper. Especially for some electronic products and small appliances, as aluminium enclosure finished with a hairline can prevent the surface from leaving fingerprints on it after being touched, and hide some dirt or scratches on the surface. Though hairline polished metal has many benefits, there is an adverse result, its ability to resist corrosion is reduced, as the brushed texture can easily attach dust and stain on the surface, which needs more cleaning to keep it clear to prevent.
Material Options For Brushed Finish Stainless Steel Sheet
There are 2 grades of stainless steel sheets that are commonly used for brushed finish surfaces, and they are generally defined according to their proportion of alloying composition. They all have common features such as durability and resistance to rust, corrosion, and stain. However, there are still a few slightly different properties between these grades. There are two common grades of stainless steel sheets (304 and 316L) that we commonly used for mirror polished finish as below:
304 Stainless Steel Sheet
Grade 304 is the most widely used type of stainless steel sheet metal that we usually find in various commercial applications, 304 stainless steel sheet has resistance to rust and corrosion, and it’s a fire-proof and heat-resistance material as it comes with a high melting point, and the surface finished with mirror finish is easy to clean and requires low maintenance. 304 stainless steel with a polished surface is a versatile type of material be widely used for bathroom ceilings, walls, kitchen sinks, backsplashes, food equipment, and so on.

316L Stainless Steel Sheet
For further enhancing the ability to resist corrosion and oxidation, stainless steel of grade 316L is the most ideal one, and it’s regarded as marine grade stainless steel. The letter “L” means LOW CONTENT of carbon, which is lower than 0.03%, which has the better properties of easy welding and resistance to rust and corrosion. 316 stainless steel sheet with BA, 2B finish is generally used for the facade, and other indoor and outdoor decorative applications, tools and facilities for food, and any application that highly require resistance.

Benefits Of Brushed Stainless Steel Sheet
For architectural applications, there are various different types of stainless steel sheets on the market, it would be better to consider some factors in order to choose a proper type for your specified need. In addition to the basic alloy steel types (304, 316, 201, 430, etc.), another main difference between them is how their surfaces are finished, there are many techniques that can be used for the surface finishes, one of the common types is brushed finish, which is also known as hairline finish. Now let’s keep discovering some benefits that brushed stainless steel sheet comes in.
Luster Of Silk Texture
The surface of brushed stainless steel comes with the numerous hairline pattern that feels like texture of silk. Though the surface doesn’t have less ability of reflecting, but the surface still provides a metallic luster, which leaves a matte and dull seen on it. Such an effect presents a sleek appearance with both stylish and classic touches, and the distinctive style is perfect for decorative purpose.
Easy Cleaning
Hairline stain less steel is easy to clean and maintain, as the matte surface can hide the fingerprints or sweat stains when people touch it. That can help save you much effort and time for cleaning, it’s perfect option for kitchens, bathrooms, and anywhere cleaning is necessary.
High Strength
One of the major reasons brushed stainless steel is popular is its basic material is tough and durable, its high strength gives it a outstanding resistance to strong impact and wear. And compare with other materials, stainless steel doesn’t need much material being used to form a strong structure, it can always keep its shape in good condition.
Durability
Stainless steel is a durable material, which can provide long useful life, and even thin stainless steel won’t deform under great pressure at high and low temperatures, making it one of the best ideal materials for various applications.
Corrosion Resistance
Stainless steel with hairline textures is corrosion and rust resistance. The material can withstand rust, water, moisture, saline air, etc. The reason why stainless steel has a strong resistance as it’s a alloying metal that consists of some elements like chromium, which can form a strong resistant layer when it’s oxidized in the air, this layer allows the surface to resist rust and corrosion. In addition to chromium, such an alloy metal also include some other elements to enhance its properties, such as molybdenum, nickel, titanium, and more.
Recyclability
It’s a sustainable option when choosing stainless steel, as it’s a totally recyclable type of material. the scrap of stainless steel can be recycled for reuse once it has lost its original function, In fact, most stainless steel products are made from recycled scrapped material. Unlike some other materials, recycling scrapped stainless steel doesn’t need any harmful chemical to process, and it’s not necessary to add some elements that already existed in the material. So stainless steel is one of the regenerative resources that can avoid the scarcity of resources and protect the environments from being polluted.
Not sure what material to purchase for your application? Check out the benefits of brushed finish stainless steel mentioned above. For the good reason, not only does the material have the excellent property of strong strength, but also stainless steel is one of the most functional and versatile materials.
