Bead Blasted Stainless Steel: The Perfect Finish for a Modern Look
At Atomic PVD, we specialise in delivering high-performance surface finishes that are as durable as they are beautiful. One of the most requested surface treatments we offer before PVD coating is bead blasting on stainless steel, and for good reason.
What Is Bead Blasting?
Bead blasting is a surface finishing technique where fine glass beads are propelled at high velocity against the surface of a metal, typically stainless steel. Unlike sandblasting, which uses more abrasive media and can leave a rough texture, bead blasting results in a smooth, uniform, and matte finish that is clean and sophisticated.
This process is ideal for removing surface imperfections, achieving a consistent appearance, and creating an excellent base for PVD coating.
Why Bead Blast Stainless Steel?
-
Sleek, Matte Aesthetic
Bead blasting softens the natural shine of stainless steel to create a low-reflective, satin look. This is ideal for modern architecture, luxury hardware, and high-end consumer products. -
Enhanced Surface Uniformity
It evens out blemishes, weld marks, and machining lines to deliver a cleaner, more professional appearance. -
Better Adhesion for PVD Coating
The uniform texture created by bead blasting provides the ideal surface conditions for Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD) coatings to bond effectively. This improves both the performance and longevity of the coating. -
Fingerprint and Scratch Resistance
A matte surface helps mask minor scratches and fingerprints better than polished finishes. This makes it a great choice for high-touch surfaces like appliances, door hardware, and fixtures.
Common Applications

- Architectural hardware
