Product Overview
ASTM A240 304 Embossed Colored Stainless Steel Sheet combines a textured embossed surface with a decorative colored finish to create a distinctive architectural metal surface. The 304 stainless steel substrate provides good corrosion resistance, strength and formability for general architectural and interior applications.
The embossed pattern adds visual depth and helps create a more distinctive appearance than conventional flat stainless steel sheet. A colored surface can be produced in metallic finishes such as gold, bronze, black, champagne and other customized colors according to project requirements.
The sheet can be supplied in 0.8–2.0 mm thickness, 1219 × 2438 mm standard size, with PVC protective film available to reduce scratches during processing, transportation and installation.
Typical applications include wall panels, elevator interiors, decorative doors, ceilings, columns, partitions, hotel interiors, retail spaces and commercial architectural projects.
For bulk orders, JUDE STEEL can provide custom dimensions, embossed patterns, color requirements, cut-to-size processing, surface inspection and EN 10204 3.1 MTC according to the agreed purchase specification.

Material Grade: 304 Stainless Steel
304 stainless steel is an austenitic stainless steel widely used for architectural and decorative applications. The material provides a combination of corrosion resistance, formability, weldability, and surface appearance.
For this product, the base material is specified as 304 / UNS S30400 / EN 1.4301 / X5CrNi18-10 and manufactured according to ASTM A240 requirements.

Embossed Surface
The embossed finish is created by mechanically forming a raised or textured pattern on the stainless steel surface. Compared with a conventional flat stainless steel sheet, the embossed surface provides additional visual depth and a distinctive decorative appearance.
The textured surface can be used to create architectural panels with a more three-dimensional appearance and can also help reduce the visibility of minor surface marks compared with highly smooth decorative surfaces.

Colored Surface
The stainless steel sheet can be supplied with a colored decorative coating to achieve different architectural design effects. The coloring process is applied over the stainless steel surface after surface preparation and embossing.
Depending on the selected coating system, common decorative colors can include gold, champagne, bronze, black, rose gold, and other project-specific colors.

| Gold |
Hotel interiors, wall panels, feature walls |

| Rose Gold |
Decorative walls and premium interiors |
| Custom Color |
Project-specific architectural designs |
PVD / Decorative Coating Process
For PVD-colored sheets, the decorative coating is deposited onto the stainless steel surface under controlled vacuum conditions. This process creates a thin colored coating while maintaining the metallic appearance of the stainless steel.
For projects requiring a specific decorative coating rather than a standard PVD finish, the coating system can be discussed according to the intended application and environmental conditions.

Architectural Applications
ASTM A240 304 Embossed Colored Stainless Steel Sheet is designed for architectural and interior projects where surface texture and decorative color are important design elements. The combination of a 304 stainless steel substrate, embossed texture, and colored coating provides a distinctive metallic appearance for both large decorative surfaces and individual feature elements.
Typical applications include interior wall panels, elevator cabins and doors, decorative ceilings, column cladding, hotel lobbies, shopping malls, office interiors, retail stores, restaurants, reception areas, and architectural feature walls. The 1219 × 2438 mm sheet size is suitable for panel fabrication, while custom cutting and processing can be arranged for specific project dimensions.
Fabrication and Custom Processing
ASTM A240 304 Embossed Colored Stainless Steel Sheet can be processed according to architectural drawings and project requirements. JUDE STEEL supports cut-to-size, custom width and length, shearing, laser cutting, punching, bending, edge processing, and other fabrication requirements where applicable. For colored and embossed surfaces, processing conditions are controlled to minimize scratches, coating damage, and deformation during fabrication.
Customers can provide drawings, required dimensions, embossed patterns, color references, hole locations, bending dimensions, or other processing details for quotation. Custom processing can be arranged for bulk architectural orders, helping procurement teams receive sheets prepared for subsequent fabrication and installation.
