Stainless Steel Surface Finishing
The grade decides how long a sculpture lasts. The finish decides what people see. We work in six surface treatments and the right one depends on the light, the setting and how close people stand to the piece.
What Happens and Why It Matters
Mirror Polished
The problem. A piece meant to reflect its surroundings looks dull and ordinary if the surface is only ground.
How we handle it. Progressive polishing to a mirror surface, with welds ground back flush first so no seam line reads through the reflection.
Brushed and Sandblasted
The problem. Mirror surfaces show fingerprints and water spotting in places people touch or where cleaning is infrequent.
How we handle it. A brushed or sandblasted finish keeps the metal character without the maintenance a mirror surface asks for.
Electroplated
The problem. Interior pieces often need a colour that the raw metal cannot give, such as the silver mirror effect on a wall panel.
How we handle it. Delicate electroplating that reads like a silver mirror with moving light and shadow across a shaped surface.
Spray Painted Colour
The problem. A sculpture that has to match a brand colour or a scheme cannot be left in the raw colour of the material.
How we handle it. Colours are constructed and produced according to your requirement, or you take the raw colour of the material as it comes.
The Buyers This Route Suits
- Specifiers matching a sculpture to an existing material palette
- Buyers weighing mirror against brushed for a site with heavy foot traffic
- Interior designers who need a coloured or electroplated finish rather than bare metal
- Anyone comparing quotes where the finish is the line item that differs

Stainless Steel Surface Finishing Questions
Which finishes can you supply
Mirror polished, raw finish, brushed, sandblasted, electroplated and spray painting colour.
Will the mirror finish stay bright outdoors
The surface is treated ground and polished so it does not fade easily and stays bright after weathering wind and rain.
Can I have different finishes on one piece
Yes. Mixing a polished body with a brushed or coloured element is common on figurative and hollow work.
How do I clean a mirror polished sculpture
Water and a soft cloth. Avoid abrasive pads, which leave permanent scratches in a mirror surface.
Do you match a specific colour
Colours are constructed and produced according to your requirement, so send the reference you want matched.
