Stainless steel bars and wires - decorative applications
Stainless steel surrounds us every day. The variety of grades, forms and surface types makes architects more and more willing to use stainless materials. New buildings are finished with shiny stainless steel sheets. We have already become accustomed to seeing silver-glittering lifts and mirrored balustrades.
Although stainless bars are still used mainly in the engineering, automotive and construction industries, their use in architecture is gaining importance. Nowadays, many home furnishing manufacturers offer items made from stainless steel bars and wires. The growing popularity of such solutions means that we can choose from a wide range of articles with utility values, while at the same time beautifying domestic spaces.
Just beyond the threshold of the house there is space for a shoe rack or coat rack, all made of steel with a polished finish. This solution ensures aesthetics and cleanliness.
Steel in the living room is not synonymous with industrial style. A beautiful stylish lamp finished with shiny wire will blend in wonderfully with the classic style of the room. For fireplace owners, manufacturers have created elegant tool sets that add a touch of chic and are durable and practical. A convenient container for wood can be placed next to the fireplace - the stainless steel bars used guarantee durability and comfortable use.
Bread or fruit baskets - once braided from wicker, now made from wire - will look beautiful on the dining table. The soft lines of the weaves blend in perfectly with the contents. A stainless steel wine rack can stand on the dresser. Its light and openwork construction is a practical and tasteful finishing touch to the interior.
Stainless steel has long reigned supreme in the kitchen, thanks to household appliances. But designers are racing to come up with new solutions. A simple paper towel holder can become a countertop decoration if it is made of steel. For those who like to cook, there are cookbook holders. The combination of several steel elements creates a harmonious whole.
For interior applications, grade 1.4301 is usually used. The most popular finish is satin, so the bars are sanded. Nova Trading can supply these to customer specification - with grit from 80 to 1200. When a mirror surface is required, the super mirror finish is ideal. The company's continuous offer includes bars from 3 to 250 mm in diameter.
The consumption of stainless steel in Poland continues to grow, which gives hope that in the coming years our interiors will be filled with accessories made of stainless bars.
