Stainless Metal in the Green Building
Stainless metal steel is environmentally friendly, high-quality, and beautiful, and its usage is increasing steadily. In my country’s stainless steel consumption structure, the proportion used for architectural decoration and public works has reached more than 30%.
Policy Environment:
Take the stainless steel curtain wall as an example. In April this year, the Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development and the State Administration of Work Safety jointly issued a notice requiring 7 types of buildings such as new residential buildings, office buildings for party and government agencies, hospital outpatient and emergency buildings, and ward buildings, primary and secondary schools, nurseries, kindergartens, and buildings for the elderly.
Glass curtain walls are used on the second floor and above. This policy provides more space for the stainless steel curtain wall market.

304304L: The most commonly used material, with stable quality;
316L: Stronger corrosion resistance, mostly used in coastal buildings;
400 series: Strong resistance to high-temperature oxidation, mainly used for building roofs.
Main Application Areas:
- building structure
