Finishes and materials

A guard frame is stainless 304 or 201 or Q235 steel under one of six finishes, and you pick the finish on the product page. Everything else in the range is listed by what it is made of or plated in.

Six surface finishes

Polished is stainless only. Every other finish goes over either grade. The product page lists the finishes that frame is actually offered in.
