UGINOX Patina K44

UGINOX Patina is a bistabilized stainless steel (K44, 0.5mm thick) containing 18% chromium, stabilized with titanium and niobium, and electro-tinned on both sides for a matt grey finish that develops naturally over time.

  • Corrosion resistance matches 316L stainless steel
  • Suitable for cold or warm roofs
  • Supplied in widths 500mm, 580mm, 1000mm, & 1160mm
  • Superior tensile strength
  • Not recommended for vertical fascias or soffits where rain can slow patina formation

UGINOX Top

UGINOX Top is a double-sided matt finish austenitic stainless steel (grade 316L or TOP 44). This low-reflective finish is achieved through a skin pass process engraving a micro texture on the surface.

  • Corrosion resistance equivalent to K44
  • Low coefficient of expansion
  • Suitable for roofing and façade applications
  • Available in 0.55mm thickness
  • Supplied in widths up to 1250mm – special orders up to 1500mm

 

We recommend the use of UGINOX Top on fascia and soffits where natural rain washing could not complete the weathering process of UGINOX Patina.
