METAL TYPES: STAINLESS STEEL 316

Marine-Grade Performance. Refined Architectural Beauty.

Engineered for Demanding Environments

Stainless Steel 316 is an austenitic chromium-nickel-molybdenum alloy engineered for exceptional corrosion resistance and long-term architectural performance.

The addition of molybdenum provides enhanced protection against chlorides, salt air, and industrial pollutants, making it particularly well suited for coastal and high-humidity environments.

With its cool silver-gray appearance, structural stability, and broad range of architectural finishes, 316 combines demanding performance requirements with a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

Architectural Finishes for Every Design

MAC Finish
Matte architectural finish with a refined, understated appearance.

#4 Brushed / Hair-Line
Directional grain providing a clean, contemporary architectural surface.

#8 Mirror
Highly polished reflective finish for statement architectural applications.

Custom Textures
Specialized textures and directional grains for unique design requirements.

Built for Long-Term Performance

Superior Corrosion Resistance
316 stainless steel provides exceptional resistance to chloride exposure, salt spray, oxidation, and staining, making it particularly valuable for marine and coastal environments.

Self-Protecting Surface
Its passive chromium oxide layer continuously regenerates, helping protect the underlying metal and preserve long-term performance.

Strength & Stability
High tensile and yield strength provide dimensional stability for light-gauge panels, façades, soffits, and flat-lock roofing applications.
