Silky Blast is a finish that utilizes KIKUKAWA’s shot-blasting technology. This is a finish that maintains the metallic physique of stainless steel while adding a silk-like matte texture.
This finish is suitable for both interior and exterior products, as well as panels, ornaments and perimeters.
The larger the sample reference number is, the coarser the finish. The gloss and the abrasion level could be adjusted as required for the project.
KIKUKAWA is able to recreate the passivation coating that was interrupted by any metalworking or the finishing process. Please consult us for further information.

*Please note that for B-series, the maximum available material thickness is 2mm, and the maximum available material width is 1219mm.

Silky Blast is a finish that maintains the metallic physique of stainless steel while adding a silk-like matte texture.
M-series is a finish that has a higher sheen than B-series. This subtle differentiation is achieved by altering the base material.
The larger the sample reference number is, the coarser the finish. The gloss and the abrasion level could be adjusted as required for the project.

*Please note that for M-series, the maximum available material thickness is 5mm, and the maximum available material width is 1500mm. Please consult us for any products over this size.

This is one of the classics for stainless steel: hairline finish has long, continuous and uni-directional grind marks parallel to the longitude of the panel.
By using specialized grinding technique, the grain size can be adjusted, as exemplified by scratch hairline (scratch HL). As a guideline, the quality of the finish is equivalent to that applied by the material provider.
This finish is suitable for both interior and exterior products, as well as panels, ornaments and perimeters.

Cross hairline (Cross HL) has matrix-like grind marks at a 45degrees angle.

This finish is suitable for both interior and exterior products, as well as panels, ornaments and perimeters.

The grain size and direction can be adjusted as per the project requirements.

Bright Annealing is a finish produced by heat treatment that maintains brightness of stainless steel.
It creates a close appearance to the mirror polished finish but with slightly less reflectivity due to some remaining striation on the surface.
It is sometimes used as a base material for various polished finishes.

*Please note that for BA Finish, the maximum available material thickness is 2mm, and the maximum available material width is 1219mm.

Mirror polished materials are so finely grinded that there are no buff marks on the surface of the material, actualizing a mirror-like brightness.
This finish is suitable for both interior and exterior products, as well as panels, ornaments and perimeters for a luxurious ambiance.

The quality, smoothness of the finish and the flatness of the material, can be adjusted as per the project requirements. Please note that the material thickness and the systematic details would affect the quality of the surface finish available. Therefore please confirm the specifications prior to making your final selection.

Vibration is a non-directional hairline finish. It is the second most common finish for stainless steel.
By using specialized grinding technique, the grain size can be adjusted.
This finish is suitable for both interior and exterior products, as well as panels and handrails.

By adjusting the base material, the sheen of the finish can be adjusted as per the project requirements.

Pearl vibration is a myriad of circular grind marks applied by specialized polishing equipment. The relatively high brightness of the material along with the diffused reflection emulate a complex yet luxurious ambiance.

KIKUKAWA is able to recreate the passivation coating that was interrupted by any metalworking or finishing process. Please consult us for further information.

KS-Coating is a finish achieved by sputtering, also known as PVD (physical vapor deposition), which creates a thin ceramic layer on the material.
This finish is available in variety of colours and is highly regarded for enhancing the beauty of the material.

Colour availability includes Champagne Gold, black and bronze.
By adding a layer of silica coating, the material becomes more resistant to corrosion and stains.

A greater variety of finishes are available by combining this colouring technology and other finishes.
Please consult us on the pairing options or for more information.

The naturally uneven surface achieves the visualization of a natural water ripple effect, reflecting the surrounding scenery in a subtle way and bringing spaces a dazzling, vivid and luxurious ambience.
The fabrication technique used to manufacture the product is the embossing finish developed uniquely by Kikukawa. This technique enables the formation of unevenness on both sides (respectively) of the surface of the mirror finished stainless steel.
