How to Request a Brushed Stainless Steel Finish Sample
t492-31

To request a brushed stainless steel finish sample, send us the project name, the grain direction and finish type you have in mind, and photos or a reference of the look you want. Our team then prepares a physical sample from the same stainless steel and finishing process we use for production.
What information to include in your request
A clear request saves time on both sides. Start with your project name, the element the finish will be used on, and the approximate size of the surface if you have it.
- Desired finish type, such as a fine or medium brushed grain
- Grain direction: vertical, horizontal or diagonal
- Reference photos or a material board from your design
- Whether the sample should match an existing element on site
If you are unsure of the terminology, a photo of the surface you like is usually enough for us to understand the target.
Sending your request to Techno Kol Uzi
You can contact us with your inquiry through the website or by phone or WhatsApp. Include your name, your firm or studio name, and the best way to reach you. Architects and interior designers often send a plan or detail drawing together with the finish request so we can see where the sample will be applied.
Our team reviews the request and confirms the details with you before preparing anything, so you know exactly what will be made.
How the sample is prepared
Brushed stainless steel is produced by mechanically brushing the surface to create a consistent grain. Because brushed finishes vary with the stainless steel grade, the direction of brushing, and the abrasive used, we prepare the sample from the same material and process planned for the job.
This helps you judge the color, reflectivity and grain pattern as they will actually appear in the finished piece.
Reviewing the sample with your client
Brushed finishes look different under various lighting conditions. We recommend viewing the sample both in daylight and under the artificial light planned for the space. Compare it with other materials in your palette, such as glass, wood or painted surfaces.
- Check the grain direction against the room layout
- Look at the sample from several angles
- Note any approval comments in writing
Approval and moving to production
Once you approve the sample, we record the finish specification in the written work description. This includes the stainless steel type, grain direction, finish name and any notes from your design. The approved reference is then used in the factory so the production piece matches what you reviewed.
Keep the approved sample on file in your project folder so the contractor and site team can refer to it during installation.
Tips for a smooth sampling process
Plan the sample request early in the design stage, before finishes are locked into the tender documents. Share the sample with the client and any consultants at the same time so feedback comes in once rather than in several rounds.
If the finish needs to match another stainless element already installed, bring a photo of that element and note its location and orientation.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a cost for a stainless steel finish sample?
Please contact us directly for information about sampling arrangements for your project. Our team will explain the process when they review your request.
Can I see the sample in natural daylight?
Yes, we recommend reviewing the sample in daylight as well as under the artificial lighting planned for your space. Brushed finishes can look noticeably different between the two.
What if I only have a reference photo and not a physical finish?
A clear photo is a good starting point. We will confirm the grain and finish details with you and prepare a physical sample for approval.
How do I specify grain direction for my project?
State whether you want vertical, horizontal or diagonal grain and include a sketch or photo showing the orientation on the element. This avoids misunderstandings during production.
Common mistakes to avoid
Many designers request a finish without stating grain direction or lighting conditions, which leads to a sample that looks different from the final piece. Always confirm these details before approval.
Our recommendation
Ask for the sample to be made from the same stainless steel grade and finishing process as the production run, and review it next to the other materials in the room. This is the most reliable way to avoid surprises on site.
Summary
Send your project details, desired grain and reference photos to receive a brushed stainless steel finish sample made from the same process used in production. Approving it early keeps your project on schedule.
