Craft Introduction
What is brushed?
It refers to the decorative lines (formed by grinding craft ) on the product surface. And the finish with brushed lines is called the brushed finish which has been more and more popular because of its unique texture. The brushed craft can be applied to the PVC, metal, and paper material, among which, the common brushed metal include the copper, stainless steel, aluminium, etc.
