Brushed or polished stainless steel?

Stainless steel can look quite different after brushing or polishing. A brushed surface has a fine directional texture. A hand-polished surface catches more of the room’s light and colour.

Both finishes sit naturally beside glass, but the shape of the support matters too. DAVIS uses runners, NEX has a central base and QUADRO DOUBLE places two glass levels on four legs. Start with the construction that works around your sofa.

THREE THINGS TO CHECK

  • Brushed or hand-polished
  • Runners, legs or a central base
  • Pair the metal with your glass

The two runners give the glass a defined support at each side. Compare brushed and hand-polished finishes with the glass version you prefer, rather than choosing the metal from a photograph of a different configuration.

01 · A CLOSER LOOK

Choosing brushed stainless steel

Brushing creates a fine surface direction that is visible close up and produces less distinct reflections than a highly polished finish. It can work well beside other brushed metal details in the room.

Look at the sample from more than one angle. The direction of the surface and the light falling across it change what you see. Brushed steel still needs the care recommended for the particular finish.

02 · A CLOSER LOOK

A polished base beside clear glass

Hand-polished stainless steel reflects surrounding colours and objects. A clear glass top lets you see those reflections in the support beneath it. Check the combination under your usual evening lighting.

Polished stainless steel and high-gloss chrome can both look reflective, but their material descriptions are different. If you are comparing them for an existing room, compare the actual finishes as well as the names.

03 · A CLOSER LOOK

Shape, glass and space around your feet

A runner, central support and four corner legs leave different spaces around the seats. Mark out the tabletop and the base, then sit in the places where the table will be used.

Clear and satin-finished glass also produce different views of the steel. Compare Floatglass and Optiwhite where offered; their inherent glass colour is separate from the finish of the metal.

Questions about stainless steel and glass coffee tables

Open a question for a short answer and a link to the relevant model.

Examples include DAVIS, QUADRO DOUBLE and SIRIUS. Check the available material options on the chosen product page.

Several models offer hand-polished stainless steel. DAVIS, NEX and QUADRO DOUBLE show three different base designs to compare.

No. Hand-polished stainless steel and chrome-plated steel are separate finishes. DAVIS offers hand-polished stainless steel runners; MILES has a chrome-plated steel frame.

For SIRIUS, follow the care instructions for the chosen leg finish. Use suitable soft cloths and avoid letting glass cleaner run onto the metal. Ask us if you are unsure which cleaner suits your version.
