Allsteel was the first manufacturer in the United States to produce the crinkle finish and remains the largest producer of crinkle panels and trim today, and that experience shows in how we form it, handle it, and supply it across a wide range of colors and profiles. Our crinkle panels carry a true 3 to 5 gloss rating compared to the 35 to 45 gloss found in the standard smooth finishes, creating a depth and character that helps the panel stand out while giving it a low sheen appearance people notice immediately. The textured surface is more scratch resistant, provides better traction when walked on, and helps hide minor imperfections in framing that can be noticeable with smooth panels. Every crinkle panel is formed by Allsteel in our facilities, and in some cases on site, so you are buying direct from the source, not a reseller, and choosing a finish trusted by thousands of projects across the country.
