FAQs

What is a 201 stainless steel sheet with a brushed finish?
It is an economical stainless steel option featuring a fine HL surface. The satin-like appearance provides decorative appeal, making it popular for trims, wall panels, and other interior applications.
How does 201 brushed sheet differ from 304 stainless steel sheet?
Grade 201 offers a similar brushed look at a lower cost—around 40% less than 304. However, 304 provides stronger corrosion resistance, which makes it more reliable in kitchens, bathrooms, or outdoor projects.
Can I use this decorative stainless sheet outdoors?
The 201 brushed version is best for dry indoor spaces. In humid or outdoor environments, higher grades like 304 or 316 are recommended to prevent rust.
What sizes and thicknesses are available?
Common thickness ranges from 0.4 to 1.5 mm, with widths up to 1219 mm and lengths up to 3000 mm. Custom cutting and other finishes, such as mirror polish, are also available.
How should I maintain the brushed surface?
Simply wipe with a dry cloth to remove dust or fingerprints. Avoid harsh acidic cleaners to preserve the brushed texture.
