b、Strong decorative properties

The stainless steel bricks themselves have a unique texture, and their luster will have a very good decorative effect, achieving the finishing touch.

Moreover, not only is it simple metal splicing, but it can also be combined with other materials to create personalized and unique decorative effects, with strong material fusion.

c、Widely used

It can be used to decorate buildings with lines on outdoor walls, and can also be used for local indoor decoration.

3、The difference between stainless steel bricks and electroplated bricks

Stainless steel bricks and electroplated bricks are both types of metal bricks, but these two materials have certain differences in essence. To help you distinguish between these two materials, let me analyze and analyze them for you~

a、Process differences

Stainless steel brick: Add stainless steel metal material to the base of the ceramic tile for processing.

Electroplated bricks: Electroplated bricks are produced on the surface of ceramic tiles by electroplating technology to create a golden and silver color effect.

b、Morphological differences

Stainless steel brick: usually brushed or mirrored, with a relatively smooth and fine surface.

Electroplated bricks: The coating of electroplated bricks is rougher, less smooth, and has more impurities compared to stainless steel bricks.

c、Color difference

Stainless steel bricks: usually the basic colors of stainless steel, such as bronze, black, gray, etc.

Electroplated bricks: Electroplated bricks have bright colors and a wide variety of colors.

02.Common types of stainless steel bricks

Stainless steel bricks are not only commonly used, but also cut into products with varying shapes and sizes, and have different forms of expression in material and color.

Let's continue with the specific introduction~

1、Mosaic stainless steel bricks

As the main representative of stainless steel bricks, mosaic stainless steel bricks are usually used as embellishments in areas such as bathrooms and kitchens in indoor spaces to blend with other materials.

a、Strong decorative properties

The shape of mosaic stainless steel bricks can take on various forms, such as mosaic shaped shapes, hexagonal shapes, etc. At the same time, their material colors also have different forms of expression, such as mirror surface, brushed, black gray, etc.

The characteristics of stainless steel material are presented by small particle mosaic, which presents a visual effect of scattered light and sparkling light from different light sources, making the space look less dull and highlighting the three-dimensional sense.

b、Easy to clean, no scratches left

A smooth surface is not easy to deposit dirt, and can be wiped clean with a paper towel or cloth.

c、 Fire retardant and flame retardant

The material itself is not flammable, and it will not burn in direct contact with an open flame. It can be used on kitchen walls with open flames or high temperatures.

Product size 

Size:

Area usage: 11 pieces/square meter

Single chip size: 300mm * 300mm

Particle size: 23mm * 23mm

(Material prices may fluctuate significantly depending on various factors such as different regions, projects, and brands, and this price is for reference only.)

2、 Long stainless steel brick

Long stainless steel bricks have a larger surface area compared to mosaic bricks and are usually used in larger spaces.

a、Thin and elongated stretching space

The long strip extends the visual effect of the space horizontally or vertically, making the overall space appear wider or proportionally higher, increasing the comfort of the space.

b、No need for caulking

Adopting a close fitting method, there is no need to choose a sealing agent to fill the joints, which not only avoids problems such as subsequent seam beautification and edge collapse, but also shortens the construction period.

03.Application Cases of Stainless Steel Bricks

The use of stainless steel bricks has become one of the main popular materials at present, and the material form, color, and application of stainless steel bricks have been favored by many famous designers, thus presenting many outstanding works.

So, let's take a look at how this material matches the space together?

1)、Song · Sichuan Cuisine, Guangzhou/Gonghe City

Song Sichuan cuisine uses modern materials and design techniques to depict a Chinese restaurant, with 100000 irregular stainless steel bricks and 40000+glazed feathers forming the basic form of the Song restaurant. The curved shape breaks the traditional imagination of Chinese restaurants and creates a unique spatial experience.
