STAINLESS

Our edge‑conditioned stainless steel flat bars are cut from plate or coil before any edge finishing. This leaves a pristine face surface while the edges retain a slight roughness that can be machined or deburred later.

Ideal for projects that demand a flawless appearance on the flat side and quick, on‑site fabrication.
