  • Types of surfaces

Our technical tables show not only the variety of steel types, but also the wealth of available surfaces that can be perfectly suited to different applications.

Why is it worth knowing the types of surfaces and their properties?

Each application requires a different type of surface – from precise, smooth surfaces for mechanical parts to rough, non-slip surfaces for building structures. Choosing the right type of surface can significantly affect the aesthetics of the project. Whether it is a matte, glossy or brushed surface – each of them gives the product an individual character. A properly processed surface can protect the steel from corrosion, which is crucial, especially in conditions where steel is exposed to moisture or aggressive substances.

Some types of surfaces are easier to keep clean than others. Choosing the right type of surface can make maintenance easier and extend the life of the product. A properly prepared surface can facilitate further processing, such as painting or welding, which is crucial for many industrial projects.

Our technical tables are a guide to this diversity, presenting you with all available types of surfaces in a clear and understandable way. By finding the right surface for your project, you can be sure that your order will meet the highest aesthetic and functional standards.
