Features

• The product shown in the photo is a SUS handrail. It is polished to a mirror finish bright enough to reflect a person’s face.
• Although airbrushing and polishing are usually outsourced to partner companies, this piece was carefully polished in-house by skilled sheet metal workers.
• The pipes themselves are polished pipes, while the metal fittings attached to the handrail—such as the eye plates—are finished with 2B welded surfaces.
• The mirror finish is striking, and the welds are clean and precise.

This is the hardware used to secure the handrail.

Thorough precautions are taken to prevent damage during shipping.

This is the surface of a 2B stainless steel plate. We start polishing from here, beginning with a coarse grit and gradually moving through several stages to refine the finish.

It doesn’t become mirror-like instantly.
The polishing technique and determining how finely to refine the finish require experience and know-how.

This was polished from the board shown in the photo above. It was specially prepared for this article.
