Introducing Black Stainless Steel
Introducing our sleek new black stainless steel range hoods. With a distinctive dark finish and professional-grade performance is the perfect fusion of modern and premium functionality. These innovative range hoods offer a bold new aesthetic that's become the centerpiece of contemporary kitchen design.
Our black stainless steel finish is carefully crafted through a specialized coating process that creates a durable appearance even with daily use. This finish not only looks incredible but also provides the same corrosion resistance and easy maintenance that traditional stainless steel is known for.
How It's Made: Manufacturing and Composition
The creation of black stainless steel begins with the careful preparation of the black layer, ensuring a flawless surface free from contaminants. Our manufacturing process utilizes an advanced vacuum spray process that guarantees superior quality and durability.
The Manufacturing Process:
- Surface Preparation - The stainless steel is meticulously cleaned to remove any oils, grease, or contaminants that could affect the final finish
- Vacuum Chamber Loading - The prepared steel is then loaded into a specialized coating machine, which operates as a vacuum chamber
- Plasma Cleaning - The steel undergoes a plasma cleaning process that ensures optimal surface preparation for coating adhesion
- PVD Application - Finally, the physical vapor deposition (PVD) coating is applied through a precise spray process, creating the signature black finish
At its core, black stainless steel shares the same robust composition as traditional stainless steel, including essential elements like chromium, nickel, and carbon.
This advanced finish ensures your kitchen maintains its stunning appearance with minimal effort. Most importantly, our black stainless steel finish is designed to withstand the harshest cooking environments, maintaining its rich, consistent color throughout years of use. With black stainless steel, you get the best of both worlds: the trusted durability of stainless steel and a show-stopping contemporary color that truly stands out.
