Excelsior Steel Processing Ltd. offers you the finest
finishes in North America for stainless and non-ferrous metals – backed by unrivaled
experience and expertise in delivering what you need – and more!
At Excelsior, we put our critical eye to work for you before,
during and after processing – to protect your reputation for quality in your end
products. We pre-inspect all incoming steel for rolled and/or metallurgical defects. We
remove defective sheet, or flag affected areas of the coil for you. With state-of-the-art
equipment in the hands of skilled Excelsior craftsmen we condition, polish, wash and then
re-inspect your product again before coating, packaging and shipping. Excelsior's wide variety of finishes include:
The standard commercial polished finishes available in
the North American market. While generally defined in industry literature, these finishes
exhibit a wide variety of interpretations from one polisher to the other. Purchasers &
specifiers are advised to familiarize themselves with the source of the polished finish
that will be applied to their order – (or avoid the problem by specifying Excelsior
everytime!).
These finishes are
everything you need them to be! From coloured to patterned to customer specified textures,
Excelsior responds to your requirements, on demand.
Excelsior proprietary finishes have been developed in
response to specific demands from Architects and other quality conscious sectors of the
marketplace. With constant emphasis on highest quality and consistency of product, these
are the very best metal finishes available.
