The appliance world gets its most sophisticated skin yet: Gen-5 Ultra-Fine Brushed Aluminum. Using 800 m/min continuous wet-brushing + nano-abrasive belts, the new plates achieve 0.03–0.06 mm hairline width, zero visible cross-scratches, and 180° perfect directionality on panels up to 2000 × 6000 mm. The result feels like liquid metal velvet, hides fingerprints completely, and survives 10 000 cycles of steel-wool testing. Dyson, Bang & Olufsen, and Miele have already locked 2026 production.
