Stainless steel water ripple sheet is a kind of decorative stainless steel sheet. The raw material is various colored mirror stainless steel. The mirror stainless steel sheet is punched through different water ripple molds to make a stainless steel embossed decorative plate. Because the shape of stamping is similar to water waves and the effect of mirror reflection, it is called stainless steel water ripple sheet.

2. Features of stainless steel water ripple sheet

△Water ripple characteristics

The features of stainless steel water ripple sheet are as follows:

1. Dynamic shape. The shape of the board surface is very close to the ripples of the water surface, and the metal mirror surface reflects light, which can bring a dynamic and natural effect to the space.

2. Stainless steel has a strong metal texture and rich colors.

3. Durable and anti-corrosion. Stainless steel is a durable metal that is resistant to corrosion and insects. Even after many years of use, it can maintain its original effect.

3. Types of stainless steel water ripple sheets

△ Common Water Ripple Design

Stainless steel water ripples can be mainly divided into four types according to the embossing style:

1. Big water ripple

2. Medium water ripple

3. Small water ripple

4. Flowing water ripple

△Common water ripple illustration

Stainless steel water ripples can be mainly divided into the following types according to the color style:

1. Mirror 8K silver

2. Titanium mirror

3. Champagne gold mirror

4. Rose gold mirror

5. Other mirror surfaces: such as sapphire blue, Chinese red, emerald green, etc.

According to the material application requirements, there are 3 tyeps can be chosen as follow:

1. SS201#: Mainly use for indoor. The price is relatively cheap.

2. SS304#: Mainly use for outdoor, it can cope with general outdoor wading environment.

3. SS316#: Mainly use for coastal environment, can cope with saline-alkali environment.

1. Design: It is necessary to determine the design of the stainless steel water ripple sheet. Our suggestion is: do not use large water ripples or flowing water ripples for small areas, as the effect may not be visible if the area is too small.

2. Processing methods: Generally, there are two types.

a. One is to directly purchase the plates and cut them on site. You can do this if you are applying to the ceiling. Because the installation height of the ceiling is relatively high, even if the seams are not very tight, the seam effect will not be obvious.

b. The other is: do the bending and forming in the factory. This method can ensure a better splicing effect. The difficulty of this method is that it is necessary to accurately measure the on-site size and communicate the size details with the factory well.

3. Color selection: according to the design effect requirements.

4. Thickness: The shape of the stainless steel water ripple sheet is relatively random, and there are no rules at all. Generally, when we apply, we need to do the grassroots on site. So when we order, we don’t need to care about the thickness of the material. Generally, we recommend using a thickness of 0.55mm or more.

If your shape needs to be bent and formed in the factory, and there are welding requirements. Then order thicker. There are welding requirements, can be ordered to 1.0mm thickness.

5. Size: The conventional size of stainless steel water ripple sheet is 1220*2440mm, 1220*3050, 1220*4000mm.

About width: 1000/1219/1500mm

This is the width size of the raw material that can be selected. Other sizes not exceeding these three dimensions can be customized with the factory, and the width generally does not exceed 1500mm.

About the length: 2440/3050/4000mm

This is the standard length of raw materials that can be selected. Other lengths can be customized on site. The longest length shall not exceed 6000mm. Over 4000mm, it is recommended to consider transportation and processing costs.

Special Attention: Since the water ripple sheet is a kind of embossed sheet, the actual finished product size will be smaller than the raw material size, which will vary with the selected design. Small water ripples change a little bit, and deep water ripples change a little bit. When installing, you need to make dimensional changes according to the actual situation.

6. Processing procedure of stainless steel water ripple sheet

1. Use the ready-made stainless steel color mirror panel, directly punch water ripples, pack and ship.

2. Sheet metal processing is required

a. Measure the size of the site → b. The factory issues a detailed drawing → c. Confirm the detailed drawing → d. Laser Cutting (if there is a hole or special shape) → e. Shearing → f. Planing V-groove → g. Punching water ripples → h. Bending forming → i. Packaging

7. How to install the stainless steel water ripple sheet

Stainless steel installation is generally divided into three situations:

1. Direct installation.

Measure on the site → cut the size → clean the base layer, keep it dust-free and dry → use double-sided tape and glass glue for fixing.

2. After Sheet Fabrication.

Measuring on site→Customize the water ripple sheet workpiece according to the size-clean the base layer, keep it dust-free and dry→fix it with double-sided tape and glass glue.

3. Water ripple stainless steel honeycomb composite panels.

Measuring on site – customizing the water ripple sheet workpiece according to the size → making the joist base layer on site → hanging installation

3.3 How to Import Commercial Kitchen Equipment from China to Europe?

If you are a newbie in China to Europe importing, you would find the process a bit complex. Thus, when it comes to this, you need to find Chinese importers with strong EU ties or if you are the importer, to build such connections seamlessly. Here are some basic steps in importing commercial kitchen equipment from China to Europe.

A.Register your enterprise

Make sure that the enterprise is duly registered. For this, you need to look for the best proof of registration which is the EORI number of the company. Hence, before placing your order, check this first. And if you are the one who shall import, secure this certification immediately.

B.Waste production regulation

Because it is an international trade, the Chinese importer must also have waste management certification since this is one of the most important requirements in the EU. For battery operated and electric type kitchen equipment, you might also need WEEE and Battery Directive certifications.

The EU is also strict on packaging requirements. There are databases for each EU country as to what is allowed. Make sure that you are compliant with this. For instance, Poland and Germany have a packaging restriction for different products.

C.Verify the Chinese logistics counterpart

The logistics is a crucial part. Make sure that you have all the certification requirements at bay. A good logistics service would ask you if you want a free product sample and would send a legitimate service contract before shipment.

If you want hassle-free EU importing, you can also check B2B platforms or sourcing companies like Foshan Sourcing.

D.Shipping

Note that the products to be imported shall undergo various inspections during the shipping process. Depending on the EU state where the products shall be shipped, different inspection standards shall be applied. To have a step ahead, you need to meet the following standards in addition with other required documents:

• Pre-shipment inspection
• Container loading inspection
• Acceptance Quality Limit (AQL)

E.Documents required

Speaking of required documents, here are some of the standard documents to prove your parcel’s legitimacy:

• Commercial invoice from the Chinese manufacturer
• Contracts for wholesale manufacturers
• Bill of Landing or Sea Waybill
• SAD document
• Certificate of Origin
• CE certificates to verify EU conformity

F.Customs Clearance and VAT

You also have to note that there are customs fees and VAT to be paid before shipment. Again, there are different VAT and other fees depending on the EU state. You need to verify these fees and other miscellaneous fees.

If you want to be more prepared in the China to Europe importation, we recommend that you check EU state specific requirements. But if you want not to go through any of these complications at all, again, you can consider other transaction and shipping alternatives through the help of sourcing agents like Foshan Sourcing.
