What Is Bead Blasted Stainless Steel?
Bead blasting is a surface treatment process where fine glass beads are blasted at high pressure onto stainless steel. This creates a smooth, non-directional matte finish that diffuses light and reduces reflectivity, without compromising the integrity of the metal.
The result? A clean, uniform surface that resists fingerprints, masks minor scratches, and provides a sophisticated, modern look.
