What is Inox / stainless steel?

The term “Inox” is a collective, colloquial term for a steel based material developed over 100 years ago, which has high resistance values against corrosion and acids, and it represents a number of chrome-nickel steels (stainless steel) to which other elements are also added.

In contrast to regular steel/mild steel or other materials such as aluminum, all stainless steels have one common property: They form an oxide layer/passive layer to protect against corrosion and media containing chloride.

In addition, inox / stainless steel tends towards surface hardening and has high strength and hardness. Inox stainless steels are also very easy to weld and can be shaped in a variety of ways, for example by bending, deep drawing, fluid forming, pattern rolling etc. Furthermore, and unlike steel or aluminum surfaces for example, stainless steel has excellent polishing properties and offers numerous other options of treatment and finishing.

Inox is an extremely hygienic material and is currently used more and more in this regard, not only in the food industry, medical and pharmaceutical technology, sanitary and swimming pool construction but in many other areas as well where people come in contact with the surface and a greater hygiene is required. Thanks to its pleasant, haptic quality and lively, highly attractive appearance, stainless steel / inox is the ideal material for industry as well as for architecture and design. Both the austenitic and ferritic steel grades of the different material numbers meet an endless number of functional and visual requirements.

Thus, in contrast to regular steel, Inox stainless steel creates a great added value and increases the exclusivity of every architectural project or product due to its long service life. Inox also scores top marks for environmental friendliness and sustainability and is 100 % recyclable at the end of its life cycle.

Stainless steel for fences

Durability is one of the chief factors in selecting the right fencing materials. After all, fences are supposed to be a strong barrier for a house or business. Beyond its strength and reliability as a building material, stainless steel is also remarkably easy to maintain. Unlike other metals, it has a high degree of resistance to corrosion and rust. This means that it retains its structural integrity longer than other types of materials and won’t require frequent repairs or replacements.

Stainless steel for windows

Stainless steel is for sure one of the preferred choice of leading edge architects and designers in order to create something unique and captivating. Stainless steel windows and doors enhance a highly sophisticated and minimalist elegance, evaluating the simplest design to the ultimate concept of luxury.

Stainless steel frames enhances the luminosity of the interiors, while the thin sightlines on the outside appear to float the glass, emphasizing the transparency of a facade and giving the maximum freedom to design to the architect, following the ideas of our clients.

Stainless steel for kitchen

Stainless steel is a biologically neutral and therefore an antibacterial material. Unlike other metals, stainless steel does not modify the colour, the fragrances or the flavours of food and it does not release toxic substances which could contaminate it. This is why it has always been used in the kitchen. Both to make cutlery, crockery and food containers, as well as to design industrial kitchens, where hygiene and perfect food preservation are fundamental requisites.

With Inox you will never need a brush.

Inox products are widely used all over the world. The quality and maintenance show a high rentability in a short period of time.
