GENERAL INFORMATION 

Fritz Hansen uses four types of surface finish on Aluminum  

• Mirror polish 
• Brushed finish  
• Powder coated 
• Painted 

For maintenance of powder coated and painted, please see Powder Coated or Painted Steel & Aluminum. 

Mirror polished surfaces have a mirror like finish. When new, a mirror polished surface appears almost as shiny as high-gloss chrome. In time the surface will get slightly more matt. 

A brushed surface is not polishing but a uniformity of the surface. The treatment leaves the surface with a striped pattern. The brushed surface of a piece is matte.  

MAINTENANCE & CARE 

• Dust: Remove with dry soft cloth. 
• Stains (typically grease): Remove with soft cloth with a mild dishwater. Wipe gently with a dry soft cloth. 
• Difficult stains: A plain eraser can remove some stains. 
• Petroleum benzine can also be used with a soft cloth. Precaution must be taken to avoid staining other materials!! 
• Do not use abrasive materials, as they may change the surface gloss!
