Thicker sheets provide better rigidity and durability but come at a higher price per square meter. For instance, a <strong data-start=\"333\" data-end=\"362\">1.0mm 304 stainless sheet<\/strong> usually costs around <strong data-start=\"384\" data-end=\"399\">$95\u2013$110\/m\u00b2<\/strong>, whereas a <strong data-start=\"411\" data-end=\"426\">1.5mm sheet<\/strong> can reach <strong data-start=\"437\" data-end=\"453\">$130\u2013$145\/m\u00b2<\/strong>. Large-format sheets, such as 4&#215;8 ft or 5&#215;10 ft panels, often come with a slight premium due to <strong data-start=\"550\" data-end=\"588\">handling and shipping requirements<\/strong>. For architectural projects requiring both durability and visual appeal, selecting the correct thickness is essential.

Mirror finishes are the most reflective and often cost <strong data-start=\"1504\" data-end=\"1519\">10\u201320% more<\/strong> than brushed or matte surfaces due to additional polishing and quality control. Brushed finishes remain the <strong data-start=\"1628\" data-end=\"1651\">most popular choice<\/strong> for interior walls and handrails because they balance visual appeal with scratch concealment. Etched and patterned finishes are more expensive, as they involve <strong data-start=\"1812\" data-end=\"1851\">laser or chemical etching processes<\/strong>, which add labor and equipment costs. In luxury hotel or commercial mall projects, designers often combine mirror and brushed finishes on the same wall to create a <strong data-start=\"2016\" data-end=\"2041\">dynamic visual effect<\/strong> while managing costs effectively.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"2079\" data-end=\"2131\">3.3 Custom Cutting and Surface Treatment Fees<\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2133\" data-end=\"2361\">Custom cutting, edge finishing, and surface treatments also contribute to the final price.
