Stainless Steel Finishes<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Facilitas stainless steel cabinets are built to be durable and highly functional.
\nHowever, functionality and longevity are not our only priorities: aesthetic quality is equally important in the production of our furnishings.<\/p>\n

One key aspect of appearance is the surface finish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

What Is a Finish?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

A finish<\/em> refers to a surface treatment<\/strong> achieved using specific techniques and machinery designed to create a precise visual and textural effect.<\/p>\n

Beyond appearance, surface finishing also plays a crucial functional role<\/strong>: it helps develop the chromium oxide layer<\/strong> that is essential for enhancing the material\u2019s corrosion resistance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The machines used for finishing are mechanical systems equipped with brushes or special belts<\/strong> that rotate across the surface. Depending on the treatment, these processes create distinct surface patterns and textures<\/strong> that determine the material\u2019s visual characteristics.<\/p>\n

\n

Types of Stainless Steel Finishes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Stainless steel surface finishes are generally grouped into two main categories<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Abrasive finishes<\/strong><\/li>\n
  • Rolling finishes<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Abrasive finishes<\/strong> are achieved using abrasives with different grain sizes. The more matte or brushed<\/strong> the finish, the lower the reflectivity<\/strong>; conversely, smoother or polished<\/strong> finishes provide higher reflectivity.<\/p>\n

    EN 10088 Part 2<\/strong> is the European standard regulating all mechanical and rolled finishes.
    \nThis system uses numbers and letters<\/strong> to classify finishes (e.g., “1” for hot-rolled, “2” for cold-rolled) and combinations like 2J<\/strong> to describe more specific surface treatments.<\/p>\n

    As mentioned earlier, there is a strong link between surface finish and the hygienic performance<\/strong> of stainless steel.
    \nLet\u2019s explore the types of finishes we use on Facilitas cabinets.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    BA Finish (Bright Annealed)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    The BA finish is known for its high reflectivity<\/strong>. It is obtained through a heat treatment in a controlled atmosphere, followed by cold rolling using polished rollers.<\/p>\n

    The resulting surface is very smooth and glossy<\/strong>, with low surface roughness and minimal contamination<\/strong> risk compared to other steel mill finishes. It also offers superior cleanability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    2J Finish<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    This finish is produced by mechanically treating a 2B surface<\/strong> with abrasive belts of 80\u2013100 grit<\/strong>. The result is a coarse satin effect<\/strong>, ideal for applications where a matte but industrial look is required.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

    \n
    \n

    Fine Satin Finish (Scotch-Brite)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
    \n
    \n

    The fine satin finish<\/strong>, also commonly (though incorrectly) referred to as Scotch-Brite<\/em>, is characterised by short, parallel lines that run uniformly and in a single direction. It is achieved through mechanical processing using increasingly fine abrasives, resulting in a refined and consistent surface appearance.<\/p>\n

    This finish typically falls within the 120 to 320 grit range<\/strong>. The higher the grit, the finer and shinier<\/strong> the lines become, resulting in a surface with greater reflectivity<\/strong> and a more elegant appearance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
