Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: What is a satin (No. 4) finish stainless steel?
A: A satin (No. 4) finish is a popular industrial finish achieved using fine abrasives to create a soft, non-reflective matte texture with a subtle, fine grain. It is the most common finish for home appliances and modern architectural detailing.
Q2: Is satin finish stainless steel suitable for outdoor use?
A: A: Yes. When using 316-grade stainless steel, it offers excellent resistance to corrosion and weathering, even in coastal or humid environments. For typical interior projects, the 304-grade is an economical and versatile choice.
Q3: Does satin stainless steel show fingerprints?
A: No, one of the key benefits of the satin finish is its exceptional fingerprint and smudge resistance. Its soft matte surface effectively hides minor blemishes, making it ideal for high-traffic commercial areas and kitchens.
Q4: What is the difference between 304 and 316 satin stainless steel?
A: Grade 304 is ideal for interior and general-purpose use due to its versatility. Grade 316 contains molybdenum, which provides enhanced corrosion resistance for marine or industrial projects where chemical exposure is a factor.
Q5: Can I customize the color of satin finish sheets?
A: Absolutely. XYC Metalworks can apply PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating to our satin sheets, offering a range of colors including Gold, Rose Gold, Champagne, Black, Blue, and Copper.
Q6: What are the primary applications for No. 4 finish stainless steel?
A: Its durability and refined aesthetics make it perfect for wall cladding, elevator panels, high-end appliance fronts, professional signage, and automotive interior trims.
Q7: How do I maintain and clean satin finish surfaces?
A: Maintenance is simple: use mild soap and warm water with a soft cloth, always wiping in the direction of the grain. Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool, which can damage the delicate satin texture.
Q8: Does the satin finish diffuse light?
A: Yes. The fine, soft matte texture is engineered to gently diffuse ambient light. This delivers a sophisticated appearance and reduces harsh glare, enhancing the visual comfort of interior spaces.
Q9: What customization options does XYC Metalworks offer?
A: We provide full customization, including various thicknesses (0.3 mm – 3.0 mm), custom-cut lengths up to 6000 mm, different edge types (mill or slit), and a variety of PVD color options.
Q10: How does a satin finish compare to a brushed (hairline) finish?
A: While both are matte, the satin finish has a shorter, more subtle grain compared to the more defined, linear grain of a hairline finish. This makes the satin finish even better at hiding small scratches in high-contact environments.
