Water Ripple Stainless Steel Sheet Specifications

Choosing a Water Ripple Pattern

Big wave patterns are our most requested finish - see the WR-G711 big wave water ripple finish stainless steel sheet for a closer look.

Small ripple creates a finer texture for furniture, cabinetry, elevator panels and smaller areas viewed at close range.

Medium ripple provides a balanced water-wave effect for ceilings, walls, lobbies, restaurants and commercial interiors.

Large ripple creates a stronger three-dimensional effect for large ceilings, feature walls and atriums. Thickness, panel dimensions and the supporting structure should be reviewed for deeper patterns.

Grade Selection for Europe, North America and the Middle East

• 304 is a common starting point for indoor hotels, shopping malls, elevators and commercial interiors.
• 316L should be evaluated for coastal, poolside, humid or chloride-exposed locations.
• 201 and 430 are available for selected applications where project requirements permit.

For coastal, poolside and exterior projects, the complete assembly—including the grade, finish, edges, backing, fixings and maintenance plan—should be evaluated.

Project and Installation Considerations

• Approve a physical finish sample before bulk production.
• Keep panels for one visible area within a controlled production batch when possible.
• Confirm sheet direction and panel orientation before cutting.
• Protect the decorative surface during fabrication and installation.
• Review backing, framing and fixing methods for ceilings and large panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the pattern printed?
No. The ripple texture is mechanically formed in the stainless steel. Color, when specified, is a separate surface-finishing process.

What is the maximum available size?
Widths up to 1500 mm and custom lengths up to 4500 mm are available, subject to thickness, pattern and processing requirements.

Can water ripple sheets be used outdoors?
Outdoor suitability must be assessed for the actual climate, grade, surface process, fixing system and maintenance requirements.

What should I send for a quotation?
Please provide the grade, thickness, width, length, ripple pattern, color, quantity, application, destination country and reference images.
