Quality Standards at STEELLY — Material, Welding & Finishing
Every STEELLY job follows the same written standards: the steel grade is printed on your quotation and bill, visible joints are TIG/argon welded, welds are ground and finished in stages, and each piece is checked before it leaves our Clement Town workshop. Here is exactly what we do — so you can check it on your own project.
Material Grades We Use — and Where Each One Fits
| Grade | Best Use | Honest Note |
|---|---|---|
| SS 202 | Covered balconies, indoor railings, furniture, partitions | Budget-friendly; moderate moisture resistance — not our pick for open outdoor work |
| SS 304 | Main gates, open balconies, staircases, commercial exteriors | Recommended for Dehradun's monsoon and winter fog |
| SS 316 | Highly corrosive or chemical-heavy environments | Usually not needed for normal homes in Uttarakhand |
The quoted grade is written on your quotation and bill — no verbal promises.
Welding & Fabrication Standards
- TIG/argon welding with filler wire on visible joints — clean beads without black burn marks.
- Welds ground smooth (around 60 grit), then blended with an 80-grit flap disc.
- Final satin or buffing finish so the joint matches the rest of the surface.
- All cut edges ground — no sharp burrs on surfaces people touch.
- Material thickness exactly as quoted; down-gauging is a strict no.
- Square, level and alignment checked at every stage, not just at the end.
Finishing Options & Our Honest Advice
Brushed / Satin
Hides fingerprints, rain marks and small scratches — our default suggestion for exteriors.
Powder Coating
Colour options with an extra protective layer, for gates and furniture.
Hardware & Safety Standards
- Branded hinges, locks, wheels and anchors — every item listed in the quotation.
- Railing heights commonly 3–3.5 ft, with child-safe vertical spacing.
- Fixing only into solid concrete or masonry — no shortcut anchoring on weak surfaces.
- Gates balanced for smooth opening, with hinges and wheels rated for the gate's weight.

Quality FAQs
How do I know I am getting SS 304 and not SS 202?
The grade is written on your quotation and bill. You can ask for material invoices, and simple spot-test kits are available in the market. We are happy when customers verify.
Which welding do you use on stainless steel?
TIG/argon welding with filler wire for visible joints. Welds are then ground, blended with a flap disc and given a satin or buffed finish so the joint does not stand out.
Which finish shows the least marks outdoors?
Brushed (satin) finish hides fingerprints, rain marks and small scratches better than mirror polish. Powder coating suits places where you want colour and an extra protective layer.
Is thicker pipe always better for railings?
Not always. Correct support spacing matters more than simply using heavier pipe. We specify thickness by load, height and use, and write it in the quotation.
