1. Introduction
Crafted from premium SUS304 stainless steel, this embossed sheet features a dynamic raindrops pattern that mimics the organic flow and elegance of natural raindrops. With a thickness range of 0.6mm to 2.0mm, it balances lightweight flexibility with structural integrity, making it ideal for decorative and functional applications across interior design, architecture, and industrial projects. The embossed texture combines with SUS304’s inherent corrosion resistance and sleek finish to deliver both visual appeal and lasting performance.

3. Key Performance Features
3.1 Corrosion Resistance
- Excellent resistance to rust, moisture, and atmospheric corrosion, thanks to SUS304’s chromium-nickel alloy composition.
- Suitable for indoor (humid kitchens, bathrooms) and outdoor (facades, coastal areas) environments.
3.2 Mechanical Properties
- Tensile Strength: ≥520 MPa | Yield Strength: ≥205 MPa
- Elongation at Break: ≥40% (flexible for curved or angled installations)
- Impact Resistance: Resists dents and scratches in high-traffic areas (e.g., commercial spaces).
3.3 Thermal & Hygienic Performance
- Heat resistance: -196°C to 800°C (intermittent use), suitable for areas near radiators or outdoor climates.
- Non-porous surface prevents bacterial growth and is easy to clean, meeting hygiene standards for healthcare and food environments.
3.4 Light & Texture Effects
- Raindrop Pattern: Creates dynamic light reflections, mimicking the shimmer of water droplets.
- Anti-Slip Functionality: Subtle embossing enhances grip when used for flooring or stair treads (recommended at ≥1.0mm thickness).
4. Unique Features of Raindrops Embossed Sheet
4.1 Nature-Inspired Aesthetics
- Organic Design: Vertical or angled raindrop patterns evoke movement and tranquility, ideal for modern, minimalist, or nature-themed interiors.
- Customizable Orientation: Patterns can be aligned vertically, diagonally, or in random clusters to suit design themes.
4.2 Functional Texture Benefits
- Reduced Fingerprints: Textured surface hides smudges better than smooth sheets, maintaining a clean appearance in high-touch areas.
- Sound Absorption: Micro-textures slightly dampen echo in large spaces (e.g., lobbies, conference rooms).
4.3 Design Flexibility
- Formability: Easily bent, curved, or welded for complex shapes (e.g., column cladding, domed ceilings).
- Multi-Layer Applications: Can be combined with backlighting to create illuminated “rainfall” effects in feature walls or ceilings.
4.4 Sustainability
- 100% recyclable at end-of-life, aligning with green building standards (LEED, BREEAM).
- Low VOC emissions and non-toxic composition for indoor air quality compliance.
5. Advantages Over Traditional Embossed Sheets
6. Applications
6.1 Interior Decor
- Feature Walls & Ceilings: Creates focal points in hotels, restaurants, or residential living rooms.
- Furniture & Cabinetry: Elevates kitchen islands, wardrobe doors, or office desks with a modern touch.
- Bathroom Design: Moisture-resistant sheets for shower panels or vanity backsplashes.
6.2 Architectural Projects
- Exterior Facades: Weather-resistant raindrop patterns for building exteriors, adding texture to concrete or glass structures.
- Sculptures & Installations: Formable sheets used in outdoor art installations or canopy designs.
- Transportation Interiors: Train carriages, aircraft cabins, or yacht interiors (meets fire safety regulations).
6.3 Industrial & Commercial
- Retail Displays: Eye-catching backdrops for product showcases in fashion boutiques or tech stores.
- Hospitality Spaces: Bars, lounges, and casinos benefit from the sheet’s luxury aesthetic and low maintenance.
- Public Spaces: Subway stations, airports, or shopping malls use it for durable, visually striking wall cladding.
6.4 Functional Applications
- Stair Treads & Ramps: Textured surface enhances safety in wet or high-traffic areas (≥1.2mm thickness recommended).
- Machine Guards & Enclosures: Decorative yet robust casing for industrial equipment in clean environments.
