Introduction
Brushed stainless steel is the material of choice for premium equipment: professional kitchens, luxury furniture, contemporary architecture. And for the past few years, wall-mounted bike racks. Here's why it's the ideal choice.
What is brushed stainless steel?
Stainless steel (or inox) is an alloy of steel containing at least 10.5% chromium. This chromium forms a protective oxide layer that prevents corrosion. The "brushed" finish is obtained by a surface treatment that creates micro-scratches oriented in one direction, giving a very elegant matte and satin appearance.
Technical properties
- Corrosion resistance: does not rust, even in humid environments
- Mechanical resistance: very resistant to shocks and deformation
- Durability: almost unlimited lifespan under normal conditions
- Hygiene: non-porous surface, easy to clean
Aesthetic properties
- Chromatic neutrality: harmonizes with all colors and styles
- Modernity: associated with contemporary and premium interiors
- Timelessness: does not go out of style, unlike colored trends
- Play of light: the brushed finish creates subtle reflections depending on the lighting
