Applications

In mountainous regions, projects must consider such factors as the range of surface temperatures, localised or distributed snow loads, erosion caused by snow and ice movement, and the risk of siphoning. Our stainless steels are ideally suited for these extreme climate conditions. Key characteristics include:

• Excellent resistance to thermal shock
• No embrittlement in very cold weather
• Superb mechanical strength
• Capable of withstanding heavy loads of snow

Roof coverings are an essential part of the exterior appearance of a monument or protected building. When refurbishing the metal roofing in accordance with the regulations for such buildings and structures, the replacement material’s optical aging ability is a prerequisite for preserving the historical-aesthetic appearance. Materials like Uginox Patina with a tinned surface not only preserves this historic-aesthetic appearance, they do so in the form of a contemporary, environmentally-friendly and long-lasting material. 

With stainless steel, the possibilities are endless. The only limitation is the imagination of the user.

• Interior décor: elevators, metal furniture, store fixtures, decorative stands, bars, bank counters, entrances, collective kitchen furniture, etc.
• Urban furniture, signs, monuments, etc.
• Industrial screen printing, signs, corporate logos, etc.

Our range of stainless steels cover all requirements relating to swimming pool applications: from the pool itself (including pool edges, overflow gutters, partitions, etc.) to the ladders, diving boards and starting platforms – even the water distribution system. These applications typically use our austenitic (304, 316L) grades. However, for applications used in harsh environments (i.e., thermal spas), we recommend choosing a grade that offers even higher properties, like our duplex stainless steels (DX2205, DX2304).
