In the seaside (in which the air has a high salt and sand content) we always recommend using AISI 316 stainless steel. If possible, in areas that are protected or not extreme, we recommend using polished stainless steel. Brushed and sanded finishes, with a surface that is not homogenous, could allow the infiltration of particles which could cause oxidation, more evident than in polished stainless steel.

Yes, in addition to polished and brushed finishes, profilitec offers sanded stainless steel. A light sanded surface gives the metal a matte, elegant and refined finish.
