Extra Large Mirror Polished Stainless Steel Panel

Kikukawa has the expertise to provide extra large high-quality mirror polished stainless steel panels. The following pictures are from the quality inspection conducted on a mirror-polished panel over 1500mm(W) x 5000mm(L), its high-quality and flatness apparent from the beautiful reflection.

Typically, extra-wide or extra-large mirror polished stainless steel panels are provided in thicker sheets with cut-edge panel details, to ensure the high-quality of the finish. The difficulty comes from the quality of the metal sheet material, as sheets over 2mm tend to have pores, and this tendency increases with larger sized sheets. Additionally, larger panels are proportionally heavier, requiring more time, people and care during handling.

At Kikukawa, these difficulties have been addressed, overcome and accumulated as know-how. We share our quality control expertise with the material providers and the polishers to ensure the high-quality of the panels.
