About this finish
Electro IH is the group's name for a colour treatment on stainless steel in which the finished sheet does not hold one fixed colour: the tone you see depends on where you stand and where the light comes from. Straight on, a Bronze panel reads as bronze; move to the side and it warms or cools, and a Blue panel deepens or lightens in the same way. The page describes the effect as arising from the combination of the stainless base and the Electro IH processing applied to it.
The colour sits on a mirror or a brush base, and the base is a real choice. On mirror the shift is most visible, because the surface reflects the room and the colour shift follows the reflection. On brush the grain diffuses the reflection and the colour reads more evenly, with fingerprints and light marks less obvious. The page does not explain the process behind the name, so we do not describe the chemistry here; treat it as a coloured stainless finish and ask for samples in the base you intend to use.
- Colours: Gold, Bronze, Gonze, Copper, Sparkling Black and Blue
- Base finishes: mirror and brush
- Uses: lift cars, lobbies, facades, feature walls and high-end interiors
The page states no grade. For interiors, 304 is the usual base; for facades and anything within reach of coastal air in Jeddah or Dammam, specify 316 so the substrate does not tea-stain beneath the colour. Because the colour is angle-dependent, order the panels for one wall from one production batch and view samples under the site lighting before sign-off; a colour that matches under showroom lamps can read differently in daylight.

Care & maintenance
Clean with warm water and a mild, chloride-free detergent on a soft cloth, then rinse and dry. On a brush base wipe along the grain; on a mirror base finish with a dry microfibre cloth to remove smears. Do not use abrasive pads, scouring powder, bleach or acid descalers, and do not test unknown cleaners on a visible area, since the colour layer, not just the steel, is what you are protecting. Outdoors, rinse dust and salt off with fresh water periodically.
