The hair brushed or the hair line stainless steel is one kind of the surface finishing for the stailess steel sheets or the products, comparatively speaking to the mirror/glossy surface finishing. The material already has the great flat surface, and the surface can be polished as good as the mirror, but it is not suitable for all the occasions, people may think the shining surface is cheesy. The matt surface is not shining but lacks of the decoration effect, so we people put line on it in regular directions.

The hairline on stainless steel is not the scratches, the line is as thin as the hair and densely covered all the surface, that’s why we call it hairline or hair brushed, liked it get brushed by the hair thin brush. The hair brushed stainless don’t reflect the light, this effect is better on the products other than the sheets. For example, the hair brushed stainless steel table base with the plated color looks noble, but not bling-bling.

The hair brushed finishing provides the option for the designers that it is the right choice for the products which reuqire good material, lovely clolor and textured surface. Being shinning is the trait and strenght of the stainless steel, it attracts the attention in public, manifests modern and fashion, but when we want it not to glossy too much, we use the hair brushed.

Attached the photos of the stainless steel sheet that in mirror and hair line with same plating color, we can see the color effect looks a little different. The glossy one shows the energy and enthusiasm, the hairline one is more quiet and calm. Choose the right one for your product to get the best effect of decoration.
