Sanmei Metal produces this finish in four grain patterns — satin, hairline, cross hairline, and vibration — on 201, 304, and 316 grades, in sheet and coil.

Brushed brass stainless steel sheet gives designers the warm brass look with a surface that resists fingerprints and scratch-marking better than a polished or mirror finish — practical for high-touch surfaces like elevator panels, door hardware backing, and counter fronts. Unlike solid brass, the PVD tone won't oxidize or need repolishing to keep its color.

Short, fine brushed grain. Shorter than hairline brass. Soft, low-glare sheen with minimal directional pull.

Short fine-grain texture, soft low-glare sheen, no tarnishing or upkeep.

The brushed grain hides handling marks and fingerprints on elevator cab doors and side panels, while the warm gold-brown brass tone gives cabin interiors a warmer, more upscale feel than cool-toned metal finishes.

The directional brushed texture keeps kitchen cabinet doors and island kickplates glare-free under overhead lighting, and the brass tone reads as a premium metal accent against wood or stone surfaces.
