Finish
Hairline
A fine, consistent directional grain. The workhorse architectural stainless finish, because it reads as metal without the maintenance burden of a mirror.

Specification
Using Hairline
| Suitable metals | SS · Aluminium |
|---|---|
| Typical applications | Profiles, cladding, lift panels, kitchen and furniture work. |
| Specification note | Grain direction must be agreed and held consistently across adjacent panels, or the surface reads as mismatched under raking light. |
| Applied | After fabrication, on the finished and buffed piece |
Metal finishes do not photograph honestly. The swatch above is a rendering, not a sample. Ask MCS for physical samples in the intended metal and thickness before you specify.

Products commonly specified in this finish
Photographs show MCS products. They are here to show the kind of work the finish is used on — the finish on any individual piece was specified by that project, so request a physical sample rather than matching to a photograph.
