Vibration finish or non-directional polishing is known in the market by various names, e.g., circular brushing, circular polishing, vibration polishing, Vortex or non-directional polish and, due to its particular visual appearance, the finish is even poetically referred to as “Angel Hair”.
At STAINLESSINOX, this particular product range is called VIBES.

Options
At STAINLESSINOX, circular-brushed stainless steel sheets and plates can be produced in various colors. When applying color to vibration-polished inox surfaces, we use our PVD/TiN and nanoinox AFP/ETC coating processes.
Any variation of vibration finish can also be coated with our CLEAR nanoinox AFP/ETC coating, which adds a transparent, protective layer that makes the surface more pollution-repellent and much easier to clean. Such properties are not only beneficial in public, highly frequented locations and areas where direct contact with the surface is possible but also on façades and other applications where cleaning requires effort and cost.
Vibration-polished stainless steel: the benefits of circular brushing
The process of vibration finishing creates a non-directional, homogeneous, matte surface. Aside from its visual attractiveness, an additional advantage of this circular-brushed finish is that fingerprints or small scratches are not visible on the -polished inox steel surface.
To sum up its properties, vibration-polished or circular-brushed stainless steel surfaces are characterized as follows:
- Low roughness values
- An attractive, matte, patina-style appearance
- High resistance to minor surface damage
- Can be cut and installed non-directionally
Applications of circular-brushed stainless steel sheets
Circular-polished inox sheets and plates are often used in areas where frequent contact with the surface is present, for example, in:
- Kitchens and catering (worktops, stainless steel credenzas, and sinks, equipment, and accessories, cladding for built-in appliances)
- Bathrooms (washbasins)
- Construction of appliances for the food industry
- Construction of devices for the pharmaceutical industry
- Container and vessel construction
- Architecture (façades, interior cladding, elevator, etc.
