1. The modernist architecture adopts the concept of exterior curtain wall. In 1948, an office building in Schenectady, New York, used stainless steel to decorate the exterior wall, which greatly reduced the dead load of the exterior wall, allowing an increase of one floor without changing the original frame and foundation structure. Many examples of the use of stainless steel curtain walls appeared in North America and other parts of the world in the 1950s. For example, Thyssenhaus in Dusseldorf, Germany is one of the high-rise buildings in Europe that use stainless steel. The trapezoidal curtain wall is decorated with SS316 stainless steel on the №4 surface with a thickness of only 1.0mm. It is a oriented building. In addition, the high-tech London Lloyd Building built in 1986 also used stainless steel curtain walls, making the artistic achievements of the building continue to this day.

2. Stainless steel is a very strong and durable material with high strength and high ductility, completely impermeable, requires little or no maintenance, and is easy to form and weld. These unique properties are especially suitable for roofs, whether flat, pitched, arched or curved. It can be colored with resin paint, as is widely used in roofs in Japan, and can also be made by hand or made of standard profiles into uncoated metal roofs. Many residential buildings, commercial buildings, municipal buildings and industrial buildings, stadiums and churches are used. A stainless steel roof has been installed, and many of the decorations are made into arcs, which increases the artistic perception of the building.

3. In the 1980s, stainless steel floor plates with lenticular patterns were first produced in the UK as a substitute for anti-corrosion carbon steel. Since then, due to appearance, cleanliness, convenience and frequency of cleaning (sometimes chemical cleaning is required), sanitation Due to environmental constraints and cost, stainless steel flooring has been used in many different industries, such as food processing plants, slaughterhouses, industrial and chemical plants, hospitals, motor rooms, and even commercial buildings, offices and railway stations. A stainless steel floor is added to increase the practical function of the building. The electropolished stainless steel floor has the least possibility of hiding bacteria and dust. It is especially suitable for use in high-tech factories and food processing areas. The maintenance cost is low, so stainless steel is an ideal material.
