Why emboss stainless steel
Don Ross on choosing an embossed 304 stainless panel face: glare under high-bay lights, smudges, and rooms that get washed and wiped down all day.

Also, a note here on the 304 stainless, the embossing does help reflect the light or diffract the light or refract the light. If you have metal halides or you have old fixtures that are high-bay, and the light reactivity or reflection on it could blind you as you're going up and loading product and so on and so forth. So I would tend to lean toward the embossing when you're getting into the stainless steel because it doesn't show every oil smudge. It doesn't show some of the issues that are inherent with stainless steel and constantly washing it and wiping it down, oiling it, and so on and so forth.
