There are indeed differences in the use of mirror stainless steel plates and non-mirror stainless steel plates, which are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Appearance and aesthetics
Mirror stainless steel plate: It has a fine linear texture and looks more modern and elegant. It is widely used in applications with strong decorative properties, such as elevator interiors, kitchenware, wall decoration, etc. This surface treatment can effectively hide fingerprints and small scratches.
Non-mirror stainless steel plate: It is usually mirror-bright or other smooth treatments, and looks smoother and shiny. It is mostly used in occasions such as high-end decoration, furniture and building facades that require gloss and reflection effects. However, it easily shows fingerprints and stains and requires more maintenance.
2. Wear resistance
Mirror stainless steel plate: Due to its fine surface texture, it can better hide scratches and wear in daily use, and is more suitable for high-frequency use environments.
Non-mirror stainless steel plate: The surface is smooth. Although the initial gloss is high, it is more prone to scratches and stains during long-term use and requires regular cleaning and maintenance.
3. Cleaning and maintenance
Mirror stainless steel plate: It is relatively easy to clean because the brushed surface can effectively hide dirt and fingerprints. However, you need to pay attention to wiping along the grain direction when cleaning to maintain the consistency of the surface.
Non-mirror stainless steel plate: Special care should be taken when cleaning, and you may need to use a special cleaner to maintain its gloss and prevent stains and fingerprints from affecting the appearance.
4. Corrosion resistance
Mirror stainless steel plate: The brushing treatment may affect the surface's corrosion resistance, but stainless steel itself has good corrosion resistance and is suitable for most indoor and some outdoor environments.
Non-mirror stainless steel plate: Surface treatments such as mirror polishing generally do not affect corrosion resistance, but adaptability to the environment depends on the specific material quality and surface treatment.
In summary, the choice of mirror or non-mirror stainless steel depends mainly on the needs for appearance, durability, and maintenance.
