In construction applications, there are many reasons why the surface finish of stainless steel is important. Corrosive environments require a smooth surface because a smooth surface is less likely to accumulate scale. Deposits of dirt can cause stainless steel to rust or even cause corrosion.

In spacious halls, stainless steel is the most commonly used material for elevator decorative panels, the surface of the handprints can be wiped off, but affect the aesthetics, so it is best to choose the right surface to prevent leaving handprints.

Sanitary conditions are important for many industries, for example, food processing, catering, brewing and chemical industry, in these applications, the surface must be easy to clean every day, and often with chemical cleaning agents.

Stainless steel is the best material for this purpose. In public places, the surface of stainless steel is often scribbled on, but one of its important characteristics is that they can be cleaned off, which is a remarkable feature of stainless steel over aluminum. The surface of aluminum is easy to leave traces, often difficult to remove. When cleaning the surface of stainless steel should be cleaned with the grain of stainless steel, because some surface processing of the grain is unidirectional.

      Stainless steel is most suitable for hospitals or other areas where sanitation is critical, such as: food processing, catering, brewing and chemical, not only because it is easy to clean daily, sometimes with chemical cleaning agents, but also because it is less likely to harbor bacteria. Tests have shown the same performance as glass and ceramic in this regard.
