Other finishes applied to this metal - available for fabricated items only: |
Satin Finish |
Satin finish is a type of finish applied on
stainless steel 2B usually after fabrication of counter tops. The idea
behind this, is to allow for a nice blend, where welds are not as visible,
giving the part fabricated the appearance of a solid piece.
In counter tops, a satin finish is a nice alternative to a 2B finish, because a 2B material comes with no
protective film, meaning it has some scratches from the factory and it also gets scratched during production.
In any case, a counter top will get scratched with usage, which will look normal after a while, but
it will be very noticeable at first. A satin finish makes it so these new scratches are not nearly as visible.

Darkened / Blackened Finish |
Darkened finish or Blackened Finish is a type of finish applied on
stainless steel, wither 2B, Satin or #4 after the fabrication of custom
products, such as hood vents.
This finish can be applied
brushed,
or in a more
random form, like a patina
that would normally develop in products such as copper and brass.
