material

Stainless steel

Indoors and out. No maintenance required.

Steel alloyed with chromium, which forms a thin passive layer on the surface and defends itself with it. Scratched, it rebuilds that layer on contact with air — which is why it is the only one of the five that genuinely needs no maintenance.

Brushed in one direction it shows a clear grain that catches light differently from every angle. That is its greatest visual asset and, at the same time, a mounting requirement: the grain direction has to be planned, because two pieces rotated against each other will read as two different materials.

The choice for façades, wet interiors and anywhere nobody will look after the piece.

How we finish stainless steel

The finish decides how the piece looks a year in, not on the day it goes up.

Ferro Raw

raw, straight off the cutting bed

wipe with a dry cloth; no abrasives

Ferro Grain

brushed in one direction

wipe along the grain, never across it

Ferro Coat

powder coating, RAL palette

water with a mild detergent; avoid solvents

Ferro Noir

blackened to a deep matt black

wipe with a dry cloth; refresh with wax on pieces that get touched

Lakier bezbarwny

protective clear coat

water with a mild detergent

All finishes
02 / decision

When to choose it, when not to

Choose it if

  • zero maintenance for the life of the piece
  • resists moisture — bathrooms, kitchens, pools, façades
  • a brushed grain looks more expensive than anything painted

Skip it if

  • costs more than mild steel for the same area
  • fingerprints show on polished; less so on brushed
  • grain direction must be settled at design stage, not on site
