Aluminium with stainless steel look – the lightweight, elegant alternative to stainless steel
Aluminium with a stainless steel look combines the premium appearance of brushed stainless steel with the functional advantages of aluminium. Its surface features a uniform, silky finish created through a precise industrial process and subsequently anodized. The result is a durable, scratch-resistant and UV-resistant metal surface that is more than 60% lighter than stainless steel. The material is corrosion-resistant, non-combustible (A1) and resistant to visible fingerprints – making it ideal for decorative applications in both interior and exterior environments, including façades, interior design, machinery and equipment.

Non-combustible (A1)
Meets the highest European fire classification and is suitable for safety-critical architectural applications.
Uniform surface
More consistent in appearance than brushed metals – ideal for high-quality visible surfaces.
More than 60% lighter than stainless steel
Significantly lower weight simplifies construction, transport and installation.
Corrosion & weather resistant
Resistant to moisture, UV radiation and many environmental influences.
Easy processing
Easy to cut, fold, bend and further process.
Hygienic & sterilizable
Resistant to neutral cleaning agents and suitable for hygiene-sensitive environments.
Robust & abrasion resistant
Antistatic, electrically insulating and resistant to mechanical stress.
Product details
The anodized stainless steel look is created using an industrial rolling process that produces a uniform, high-quality surface structure. Variations in surface topography, such as those found on brushed or ground surfaces, are therefore avoided. The aluminium is then anodized in a special anodizing bath, creating a 10 µm anodized layer for optimum surface protection and long-lasting colour consistency. The result is a hard, abrasion-resistant and easy-to-maintain surface that does not retain visible fingerprints, is resistant to neutral cleaning agents and maintains its elegant appearance for years. It combines aesthetics, functionality and durability in a single material.
Aluminium with a stainless steel look is available in two standard versions from stock:
- Rolled-textured and stainless-steel-coloured coil anodized (10 µm)
- Rolled-textured, mill finish (suitable for batch anodizing)
Other variants, such as different anodizing layer thicknesses or anodizing colours, are available on request. We will be happy to advise you.
