Stainless Steel as an Architectural Material

Only a couple of years after the invention of stainless steels, architects started discovering its potential for building and construction - in both visible and non-visible applications. The present publication shows just a few of the recent examples. However diverse they may be in terms of scope, purpose and product used, they have one thing in common: they are part of an architecture that is made to last.

Stainless steel decorative sheet include stainless steel hairline sheet, brushed sheet, mirror sheet, etched sheet and embossed sheets, which are widely used in building decoration, elevator cabin and elevator door, hotel interiors etc.

When choosing a material, architects are increasingly looking not only at functional performance but also at less quantifiable characteristics, such as aesthetic effect, colour and texture, all of which have an important effect on the final result. This goes hand in hand with advances in manufacturing processes which are opening up new possibilities. This Euro Inox brochure highlights some of the possibilities and gives many examples of where three-dimensional surface structures were used and how they are created.
