Steelinium
At Volex, we believe that great kitchens deserve materials that do more — that’s why we created Steelinium, our patented innovation that redefines what kitchen materials can offer.

Steelinium is Volex’s own patented material that takes kitchen design to the next level. It combines the strength and hygiene of stainless steel with the beauty of colored finishes. It’s rust-proof, anti-bacterial, and built to handle tough kitchen conditions while adding a modern touch to your space.

What Makes Steelinium Different?
1- Truly Non-Corrosive:
Unlike traditional stainless steel that may show signs of rust over time in harsh conditions, Steelinium is fully non-corrosive. It’s built to handle high humidity and demanding kitchen environments without losing its integrity or appearance.
2- Flexible Designs to Suit Your Style:
Whether you prefer sleek, flat-edge modern kitchens or classic, timeless styles, Steelinium can match your vision. Our classic designs can even be paired with colored stainless steel finishes, giving you even more options to create the kitchen you want.
3- Wood-Like Feel with Modern Strength:
Steelinium can perfectly replicate the warm, natural texture of wood — not just in look, but in feel too. This gives you the charm of wood without worrying about damage from moisture, pests, or time.
4- Exceptional Durability:
Steelinium stands up to daily use in busy kitchens. It’s scratch-resistant and fingerprint-resistant — a clear advantage over regular colored stainless steel — so it stays looking clean and new with less effort.
5- Smart Investment:
While Steelinium delivers the beauty and strength of high-end materials, it’s more cost-effective than premium colored stainless steel. You get outstanding performance and style, without stretching your budget.
6-Unaffected by water or moisture:
It does not swell or deteriorate, and features a long-lasting scratch-resistant surface, with a warm appearance similar to natural wood.
Why Choose Steelinium for Your Kitchen?
Steelinium is designed for people who want their kitchen to look great and last for years without the headaches of constant upkeep. Whether for a high-traffic commercial kitchen or a modern home, Steelinium delivers:
