Mirror Polished
Finish Code: 32 / 629
Reflective. Precise. Jewellery-like.
Mirror Polished stainless achieves a glass-smooth surface through multiple stages of grinding and polishing. It reflects the environment around it, amplifying light in a space.
Brushed Satin
Finish Code: 32D / 630
Matte. Directional. Forgiving.
Brushed Satin is created by a unidirectional abrasive pass, leaving a fine grain texture. It diffuses light rather than reflecting it and handles daily use without showing wear or marks.
