No, there several different types of stainless steel. The commonly used for these types of prod ucts are Grades 304 and 316. The chemical calculations are different in each. Grade 304 is generally used for internal applications and in areas which are not exposed to chemicals or extreme conditions. If you live within 20 miles of the coast, want a railing around your swimming pool, or live close to a city centre then we would always recommend using grade 316.mirror finish. We also offer a number of products on Grade 2205 stainless that is classed as 'Ultra marine' finish. Many people prefer to use 304 for internal rails and 316 for external ap plications. Grade 304 offers good value in appropriate locations.

We do have a selection of products with other finishes and many of our products could be supplied in an 800 grit Mirror finish if required. Higher grit numbers are smoother and lower grit numbers are less shiny. Mirror finish is suitable for coastal installations.
