Stainless Steel
Stainless steel is a family of steel alloys containing at least 10.5% chromium, which is what gives it corrosion resistance and its signature appearance. Wieland-Wrisco produces 24GA and 26GA stainless steel sheet and coil (with additional gauges available on request) on its computerized cut-to-length lines.
Why choose stainless steel over other architectural metals?
Most architectural grades also include nickel, with manganese or molybdenum sometimes added for specific characteristics. The result is a corrosion-resistant material with an elegant, understated look that blends with other design elements without streaking or staining, since it resists acids.
Is stainless steel a sustainable choice?
Yes, stainless steel is typically made from about 70% scrap metal and is 100% recyclable at the end of its use, continuing that cycle indefinitely.
What finishes and gauges are available?
Wieland-Wrisco currently offers 2B and 2D finishes, with custom finishes available on request. Standard gauges are 24GA and 26GA, with additional gauges available on request.
