Today, I will take you to crack the routine of the material supplier, and teach you the design sense of 60usd/㎡ by hand, and achieve it with 30usd/㎡!
I. the mystery: Why is the water ripple stainless steel sheets a new favorite of designers?
1.1 Light magician
“Pearl-grey mist in the morning, gilded sand dunes in the afternoon, liquid mercury in the light at night.”
— Interview with the owner of the Internet red restaurant
Scientific principle: 0.2-0.3mm deep corrugated structure, soft light through the principle of diffuse reflection, 83% less glare than mirror stainless steel (quoted in the journal of Architectural Optics)
1.2 Good news for neat freaks
Experimental comparison: In the oil pollution test, the surface residue is only 1/7 of the ordinary tile
Black Technology Plus: anti-fingerprint coating technology
II. The Guide to Avoiding the Pit: The Golden Rule of blood and tears
2.1 Material selection three principles
| Usage Scenario | Recommended model | Fatal error |
| The exterior wall of coastal area | SUS 316L | has rust spot after 3 months of misapplication of 304 plate |
| Dining back kitchen wall | SUS 304 | has not been rounded for cutting staff’s hands |
| The art | SUS 201/304 | uses thick plates that cause stiffness |
2.2 Installation must see three steps
Basic treatment: Old tiles need to brush the interface agent first (a treasure search “tile renovation companion”)
Cutting skills: Be sure to ask for factory laser cutting (self-cutting edge will curl)
Closing tool: U-shaped aluminum alloy edge strip is recommended.
III. Imaginative: 7 low cost high force gameplay
3.1 Poor installation of artifacts: old objects to transform three sets
Old Wooden Desk → Water corrugated Board Second Change Cyberwind desk (180usd)
Tiles for Rental Property → Apply 1.0mm sheet directly to transform INS kitchen (35usd/㎡)
Balcony railing → Wrapped sheet to achieve the “water curtain balcony” effect
3.2 Commercial space moneymaking
Hair salon: Using rose gold corrugated plate as design wall, customer selfie rate increased by 70%
Milk tea shop bar: blue water corrugated plate + neon light, social media card standard
Medical beauty agency: mirror antibacterial properties + futuristic appearance, customer price increased by 30%
IIII. Buy anti-fraud guide: These details determine success or failure
4.1 Three tricks to see through the inferior board
Look at the pattern: the quality of the corrugation of the board is uniform (take the ulnar side light observation)
Thickness measurement: Actual thickness = nominal value ±0.02mm (vernier caliper measurement)
Check identity: request to provide material warranty (focus on molybdenum content ≥2.1%)
