Product Overview
What This Piece Is
Stainless Steel Creative Electroplated Titanium Gold Wall Decoration Design D is a titanium gold plated 304 stainless steel wall panel built to order in our Shenzhen workshop.
Wall panels cover a large plain surface at a fraction of the cost of a freestanding piece and take no floor area at all.
304 stainless steel holds its colour and surface in rain, sun and frost without paint, so a piece installed outdoors does not need repainting on a maintenance cycle.
Send the position, the height you have in mind and any drawing you already have, and a quotation follows.

Key Benefits
Why Buyers Specify This Piece
- Built from 304 stainless steel, which resists rust in open weather and washes clean with water and a soft cloth.
- Titanium gold PVD plating bonds into the surface in a vacuum chamber rather than sitting on it as paint, so the colour does not chip off an edge.
- A brushed matte face scatters light instead of throwing it back, which suits interiors where a mirror surface would be distracting.
- Lighting can be designed into the wall panel so it still reads after dark, with the cable route concealed inside the structure.
- At large scale this wall panel is trial assembled in the workshop, then split into transportable sections with the joints placed where they will not be seen.
- Wall panels cover a large plain surface at a fraction of the cost of a freestanding piece and take no floor area at all.
- Fixing points and the anchor pattern for this wall panel are drawn before fabrication, so site work is bolt down rather than improvisation.
Application Scenarios
Where It Is Installed
Set on a lawn, in a planting bed or on a courtyard paving grid, on a concrete pad or a levelled base plate.
Placed in a hotel lobby, on an arrival axis or beside a reception desk, where it is the first object a guest registers.
Placed in a living room, a corridor or a private garden, at a scale that suits a domestic ceiling height.
Fitted in a restaurant, a bar or a KTV room, where the piece has to read under low and coloured lighting.
Who It Is For
The People Who Order This
- Facility and estate managers replacing a tired feature in gardens and courtyards with something that needs no repainting
- Landscape architects specifying a titanium gold plated wall panel as the focal piece for gardens and courtyards
- Interior designers who need one wall panel to carry a room rather than a wall of small decoration
- Property developers placing a 304 stainless wall panel in hotel lobbies to anchor an arrival point
Problems It Solves
What This Piece Removes From the Project
- Painted steel and cast stone sculptures chalk, streak and need refinishing after a few seasons outdoors. 304 stainless steel does not.
- Gold coloured paint scuffs on handling and dulls under cleaning. A PVD coating is far harder and takes normal cleaning without losing tone.
- Mirror surfaces can be too busy in a small room. A brushed face keeps the form readable and hides fingerprints.
- A wall panel specified late has to fit dimensions that are already fixed. Working from your drawing means the piece adapts instead of the scheme.
- Suppliers who subcontract the finishing cannot answer for the surface. The 304 stainless steel here is cut, welded and titanium gold plated under one roof.
Technical Features
How It Is Constructed
- Concealed hanging system with a levelling adjustment behind the panel
- Titanium gold PVD coating applied in a vacuum chamber over a polished base
- Directional brushed finish applied consistently across panels so the grain runs one way
- Individually hung discs on a concealed backing frame
- Fabricated throughout in 304 stainless steel with matching filler where the material is welded
- Base plate and anchor pattern for the wall panel issued as a drawing before the foundation is poured

Materials
What It Is Made From
- 304 stainless steel
- Integrated LED components where lighting is specified
- Stainless or galvanised fixings sized for this wall panel and supplied with it
Manufacturing Process
How It Is Made
1
Laser cutting of 304 sheet to the developed pattern
2
Cold forming and rolling of each panel section
3
TIG welding of the seams from the inside where the geometry allows
4
Grinding and levelling of every weld until the seam disappears
5
Multi-stage polishing or texturing to the specified finish
6
Passivation and final cleaning before packing
Quality Control
What Is Checked and When
- Sheet grade confirmed before cutting
- Weld seams inspected for pinholes after grinding
- Surface checked under raking light for grinding shadows and orange peel
- Frame and base plate checked against the approved drawing
- Full assembly trial fitted in the workshop before crating
Customisation Options
What Can Be Changed
- Finish changed between mirror, brushed and coloured coating on the same wall panel
- Base detail changed between a flush plate, a plinth and a direct planting bed fixing
- The wall panel split into transportable sections where access to gardens and courtyards is restricted
Comparison
How It Compares With the Alternatives
Compared with Painted mild steel
Painted mild steel costs less at the gate but needs stripping and recoating once the film fails. 304 stainless steel keeps the same surface for the life of the installation.
Compared with A cast or moulded reproduction
A reproduction repeats a fixed size. This wall panel is built to your dimensions, which is the whole reason to commission one.
Compared with Buying through a trading company
A trader passes drawings along and adds a margin. Here the wall panel is drawn and built by the same people you are talking to.
Use Guide
Looking After It Once It Is Installed
- Rinse with clean water and dry with a soft microfibre cloth
- Use a neutral pH detergent for fingerprints and traffic film
- Keep chlorides and iron dust off the surface, especially near pools and car parks
- Never use steel wool or abrasive pads on a polished face
- Clean with a soft damp cloth only. Abrasive pads will eventually dull a PVD surface.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why 304 stainless steel rather than something cheaper
304 stainless steel holds its colour and surface in rain, sun and frost without paint, so a piece installed outdoors does not need repainting on a maintenance cycle. Painted steel and cast stone sculptures chalk, streak and need refinishing after a few seasons outdoors. 304 stainless steel does not.
Is the gold colour paint or plating
It is a titanium PVD coating applied in a vacuum chamber, not paint. That is why it survives cleaning and handling far better than a gold coloured lacquer.
Does a brushed finish mark as easily as a mirror finish
No. A brushed face hides fingerprints and light scuffing much better, which is why it is the usual choice for pieces within reach of the public.
How is a wall panel this size packed and shipped
A plywood crate is built around the finished geometry with foam on every titanium gold plated face. Large wall panels are split into sections at joints chosen during design, trial assembled in the workshop, then marked so they go back together in the same order on site.
What do you need from me to quote
The position, the height or overall size you want, and any drawing, render or reference photograph you already have. For gardens and courtyards a photograph of the space is often enough to start.
What is the lead time
Lead time depends on the size of the wall panel, the titanium gold PVD plating and how much design work it needs, so it is confirmed with the quotation rather than promised in advance. Send the brief and the schedule comes back with the price.
