Wooden Finish Stainless Steel

Stainless steel wood grain transfer printing

Principle: lt is a specific process of transferring wood grain patterns onto the surface of aluminum square tubes or stainless steel metal sheets, giving them a texture and visual effect similar to wood. This technology combines the advantages of aluminum square tubes or other metal sheets (such as corrosion resistance, wear resistance, lightweight, etc.) with the aesthetic appearance of wood, and is widely used in fields such as construction, furniture, and decoration.

Product Introduction


Wooden Finish Stainless Steel refers to stainless steel that has been treated or coated to replicate the look and texture of natural wood, combining the aesthetic warmth of wood with the durability and corrosion resistance of stainless steel.


What Is Wooden Finish Stainless Steel?

It is stainless steel (typically grade 201, 304, or 316) that undergoes a surface treatment to resemble wood grain. The process does not involve actual wood but mimics the visual and sometimes tactile appearance of wood through high-tech surface techniques.


Common Manufacturing Techniques

  • Hydrographic Printing (Water Transfer Printing)
    A patterned film with wood grain is floated on water and transferred onto the metal surface, then sealed with a clear protective coating.

  • Sublimation Printing
    A heat-based process where a wood grain pattern is transferred onto a pre-treated powder-coated surface, resulting in high adhesion and realistic detailing.

  • Etching and Color Coating
    Stainless steel is etched to add grain texture and then color-coated with wooden tones (oak, walnut, cherry, etc.).

  • PVD Coating (Physical Vapor Deposition)
    Used for a durable, decorative wood-tone finish, though less common due to limited pattern capability compared to sublimation.


Common Wood Grain Styles Available

  • Oak

  • Walnut

  • Teak

  • Cherry

  • Mahogany

  • Maple

  • Wenge

Each style varies in color tone, pattern, and texture to suit different architectural or interior design needs.

  • Weather Resistance: Ideal for outdoor and coastal environments

  • Aesthetic Flexibility: Achieves wood-look with the strength of metal


Maintenance Tips

  • Use mild soap and water for cleaning

  • Avoid abrasive cleaners or steel wool

  • Reapply clear protective coating (if recommended by the manufacturer) every few years for outdoor use


Wooden finish stainless steel is the perfect solution for projects requiring the natural appeal of wood with the functional benefits of stainless steel. Whether for architectural exteriors or elegant interior accents, it offers a modern, eco-friendly, and long-lasting alternative to real wood.
