Stainless steel water ripple sheet is a kind of decorative stainless steel sheet. The raw material is various colored mirror stainless steel. The mirror stainless steel sheet is punched through different water ripple molds to make a stainless steel embossed decorative plate. Because the shape of stamping is similar to water waves and the effect of mirror reflection, it is called stainless steel water ripple sheet.
2. Features of stainless steel water ripple sheet
△Water ripple characteristics
The features of stainless steel water ripple sheet are as follows:
1. Dynamic shape. The shape of the board surface is very close to the ripples of the water surface, and the metal mirror surface reflects light, which can bring a dynamic and natural effect to the space.
2. Stainless steel has a strong metal texture and rich colors.
3. Durable and anti-corrosion. Stainless steel is a durable metal that is resistant to corrosion and insects. Even after many years of use, it can maintain its original effect.

5. How to order stainless steel water ripple sheet
1. Design: It is necessary to determine the design of the stainless steel water ripple sheet. Our suggestion is: do not use large water ripples or flowing water ripples for small areas, as the effect may not be visible if the area is too small.

2. Processing methods: Generally, there are two types.
a. One is to directly purchase the plates and cut them on site. You can do this if you are applying to the ceiling. Because the installation height of the ceiling is relatively high, even if the seams are not very tight, the seam effect will not be obvious.
b. The other is: do the bending and forming in the factory. This method can ensure a better splicing effect. The difficulty of this method is that it is necessary to accurately measure the on-site size and communicate the size details with the factory well.
3. Color selection: according to the design effect requirements.

4. Thickness: The shape of the stainless steel water ripple sheet is relatively random, and there are no rules at all. Generally, when we apply, we need to do the grassroots on site. So when we order, we don’t need to care about the thickness of the material. Generally, we recommend using a thickness of 0.55mm or more.
If your shape needs to be bent and formed in the factory, and there are welding requirements. Then order thicker. There are welding requirements, can be ordered to 1.0mm thickness.
5. Size: The conventional size of stainless steel water ripple sheet is 1220*2440mm, 1220*3050, 1220*4000mm.
About width: 1000/1219/1500mm
This is the width size of the raw material that can be selected. Other sizes not exceeding these three dimensions can be customized with the factory, and the width generally does not exceed 1500mm.
About the length: 2440/3050/4000mm
This is the standard length of raw materials that can be selected. Other lengths can be customized on site. The longest length shall not exceed 6000mm. Over 4000mm, it is recommended to consider transportation and processing costs.
Special Attention: Since the water ripple sheet is a kind of embossed sheet, the actual finished product size will be smaller than the raw material size, which will vary with the selected design. Small water ripples change a little bit, and deep water ripples change a little bit. When installing, you need to make dimensional changes according to the actual situation.
6. Processing procedure of stainless steel water ripple sheet
1. Use the ready-made stainless steel color mirror panel, directly punch water ripples, pack and ship.
2. Sheet metal processing is required

Antique stainless steel sheets go through a series of surface treatments to give them a weathered or aged appearance. Unlike regular stainless steel, which often has a shiny, brushed or matte finish, antique sheets have a unique and old-fashioned look that makes them stand out.
Antique stainless steel sheets are available in two base colors: copper and bronze. These colors give the stainless steel a unique, aged appearance that adds character to various applications.
The antique copper option offers a warm, reddish-brown hue that resembles traditional copper materials. On the other hand, the antique bronze color provides a rich, deep brown tone with subtle metallic undertones. Once the base color has been prepared, it can undergo several additional steps to create a wide range of patterns.
Antique stainless steel sheets are crafted by the following processes that impart an aged or weathered appearance to the metal.
The antique stainless steel sheet starts with 2B finish stainless steel sheets as the raw material.
These sheets are then transformed into afinish by using a grinding machine.
Next, a layer of real copper or bronze is applied to give it an authentic look.
Depending on the requirement, the sheet is brushed to create aor left as it is.
Various patterns are manually created based on provided photos or samples.
Finally, a layer of bright, matte AFP(), or evenis coated to enhance the color richness.
The production process is really fascinating! Antique stainless steel sheet is a great choice if you want to give your architectural projects a vintage touch. It can be used for both interior and exterior wall cladding, as well as for decorative elements inside.
Among one of the most important processes is to manually create various patterns on the surface. Therefore, each piece of antique stainless steel sheet is unique and cannot be replicated.
If you happen to have a sample of an antique stainless steel sheet, we can get pretty close to matching it, achieving about 90% similarity. However, once it’s installed, the overall style will be consistent and in line with what you’re looking for.
Antique stainless steel wall cladding Antique stainless steel wall cladding Antique stainless steel wall claddingThere are three common types of stainless steel – 201, 304, and 316. Let’s take a closer look at each one and understand what makes them unique. First, we have 201 stainless steel. It’s not as strong as the others and is the least expensive. Next, we have 304 stainless steel. It is stronger than 201, costs more, and has better resistance to corrosion. Lastly, we have 316 stainless steel. It is extremely strong and can withstand even the harshest conditions, but it comes with the highest price tag.
So, depending on your specific needs for a stainless steel sheet, you can choose the grade that suits you best! The most commonly used grade is 304, which is suitable for most applications.
Antique stainless steel sheets are available in various sizes and thicknesses, giving customers the flexibility to select the most suitable option for their specific project. The standard widths offered are typically 1000mm, 1219mm, and 1500mm, while the length can be customized to meet different requirements like wall cladding or interior design applications.
If you’re thinking about using the sheets to decorate the inside of your space, a thickness of 0.8mm-1.0mm should suffice. However, if you’re looking to use them for cladding the exterior walls, it’s recommended to go for a thickness range of 1.5mm-3.0mm as they offer better strength.
When it comes to antique stainless steel sheet, quality is of utmost importance. Before making a purchase decision, we offer samples for you to evaluate. These samples display various colors, finishes, and levels of distressing achieved through our treatment process. This allows you to determine the authenticity of the antique appearance and choose the grade that best suits your design needs.
If you have specific project requirements, you can even ask for custom color or pattern options. This way, you can get antique stainless steel sheets that are perfectly suited to your personal preferences. It ensures that you receive high-quality sheets that are tailored just for you.
Before purchasing antique stainless steel sheets, it’s essential to consider the lead time for production and delivery. Due to the involvement of multiple processing procedures, the production time may be longer. If your project has a tight schedule, it is important to negotiate the timeline with us in advance.
Embossed stainless steel sheets are made by rolling coils of stainless steel into an embossing mold to create raised designs on the surface. After that, the coils are sliced into flat sheets. The end result is a metal sheet with a three-dimensional surface. The popular embossed patterns include linen, leather, stone grain, sand grain, wood grain and tree bark grain.
Vigorss Embossed PatternEmbossed stainless steel sheets offer both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits. The raised patterns not only enhance the visual interest but also provide added strength and durability to the material. Moreover, they can effectively hide scratches or fingerprints that may occur over time due to regular use.
Stamping stainless steel involves applying pressure to metal sheets using a die, resulting in the creation of a textured surface. The die consists of two parts: the upper punch, which has a negative image of the design, and the lower die that supports the workpiece during stamping. When the metal sheet is stamped, the raised portions of one die leave an imprint on the sheet.
Vigorss Stamped PatternCommon stamped patterns include water ripple, 5WL, 6WL, diamond, square, quilted, and honeycomb, etc. They offer versatility in terms of design possibilities while maintaining the corrosion-resistant properties associated with stainless steel materials.
Our etched stainless steel sheets are made by applying one of our design patterns or by incorporating the specific requests and designs of our customers. A type of acid is used to remove a thin layer of metal from the surface, leaving behind intricate and detailed designs or patterns on the steel. The etched areas will have a rough texture, clearly distinguishing them from the rest of the sheet.
VIGORSS Etched PatternIf you have pictures or files of the texture, we can use etching to display it on the stainless steel sheets. We are capable of doing anything as long as you can imagine it.
