Why Architects and Designers Choose 304 Stainless for Commercial Projects
When commercial designers need clean lines, code-compliant materials, and longevity — they spec stainless.
More specifically? 304 stainless with a #4 brushed finish.
At RJ Metals, we work with architects, designers, and GCs to deliver precision-fabricated stainless components that match your vision — and your drawings.
Here’s why 304 stainless continues to be the top choice in modern design and construction.
✅ 1. It Looks Clean — and Stays That Way
304 #4 stainless:
-
Has a consistent directional grain
-
Resists fingerprints and surface wear
-
Blends well with other modern materials (glass, stone, etc.)
-
Doesn’t require polishing or painting
It’s a natural fit for:
-
Lobbies
-
Retail spaces
-
Airports
-
Hospitals
-
Food service environments
✅ 2. It Performs in High-Traffic Spaces
304 stainless is known for:
-
Long-term corrosion resistance
-
Impact resistance
-
Easy daily cleaning
-
Weld- and bend-friendly fabrication
It’s not just for kitchens — it’s perfect for any environment that needs durable, touch-safe finishes.
