01 / What is 316L?
Not all stainless steel
is created equal.
316L is a low-carbon austenitic stainless steel containing molybdenum. That combination improves resistance to localised corrosion caused by salt, humidity and chlorides—conditions commonly found around pools, coastal architecture and wellness spaces.

02 / Why 316L
Quality you can see.
Performance you can trust.
Marine-grade confidence
Molybdenum provides added protection in coastal, poolside and high-humidity environments compared with more conventional stainless steels.
Long-term durability
Mechanical stability and resistance to wear support reliable everyday use in residential, hospitality and contract projects.
Hygienic surface
The smooth, non-porous surface is easy to clean and appropriate for spaces where hygiene and contact with water are essential.
Low maintenance
Simple, regular care helps preserve the appearance of the steel without coatings that conceal the base material.
100% recyclable
Stainless steel can be recycled without losing its intrinsic material qualities, supporting a more circular approach to design.
03 / The difference
One small addition.
A decisive advantage.
The essential difference is simple: 316L contains molybdenum. This strengthens the steel’s protection when water contains salt or chlorides—the conditions found beside the sea and around swimming pools.
Salt and chlorine reach the surface
Coastal air, pool water and humidity create a more aggressive environment than an ordinary interior.
Molybdenum reinforces resistance
Its presence helps 316L resist localised corrosion more effectively than conventional 304 stainless steel.
That is why SINED chooses 316L
A more appropriate material for showers, taps and water systems designed for outdoor, poolside and coastal spaces.
316L greatly improves material resistance, but it still requires correct installation, regular rinsing and appropriate maintenance.
04 / PVD finishing
Colour bonded
to performance.
PVD—Physical Vapour Deposition—is an advanced process that deposits a very thin decorative and protective layer onto the stainless-steel surface. It creates refined colour while enhancing surface hardness, wear resistance and colour stability.
Extra durability
A hard, precisely controlled surface layer.
Wear resistance
Better protection from normal everyday contact.
Corrosion protection
An additional barrier over the 316L base.
Colour stability
Consistent, enduring architectural tones.
