Water Ripple Stainless Steel Sheets: Jindal Base, Pan-India Supply
Jindal Stainless makes a genuine base sheet, and a stainless steel water ripple sheet starts there: a decorative flat product with a 3-D water-ripple, or flowing wave, texture rolled onto that base. The trade knows this same item by several names. Some call it a water ripple sheet. Others say water ripple ss sheet, ss water ripple sheet, water ripple design ss sheet, or water ripple pattern ss sheet. On the floor, dealers just call it water ripple patta, or वॉटर रिपल शीट.
The wave itself is only a surface texture, not a mechanical grade. Suppliers usually roll it over a mirror or PVD-coloured base, then ship it wrapped in PVC peel film. Relinox handles this as designer job-work, working on authorized-channel Jindal 304 and 316 base with MTC backing. Sheets come cut-to-size, and dispatch runs pan-India out of Delhi. Architects and interior contractors can request finish samples. Fabricators, meanwhile, can get today's rate. Both routes run through the RFQ form.
Jindal Stainless is our sole principal here, and a "jindal water ripple sheet" refers to the water-ripple texture applied to genuine Jindal Stainless Limited (JSL) flat product. It's not Jindal SAW, JSPL or JSW Steel, which make carbon steel and pipes, and it isn't SAIL Salem either. The metal beneath the ripple is genuine JSL-melted material. Not re-rolled bazaar stock.
What is a water ripple stainless steel sheet?
The pattern flows and ripples like light dancing across disturbed water, which is why people also search for it as a water wave ss sheet, a ripple wave ss sheet, a water ripple finish ss sheet, or a 3D water ripple ss sheet. Pressing and rolling the texture onto the base sheet makes it part of the surface itself. Over a mirror or PVD base, it catches and scatters light, adding depth and movement while hiding fingerprints and minor scuffs. A flat printed or single-depth emboss can't do this. Water ripple is one specific wave texture, while the broader family of linen, diamond, leather and bead patterns lives on our embossed & textured SS sheets page. A decorative water ripple ss sheet, or a designer water ripple ss sheet, sits within our wider designer stainless steel sheets range.
Grades we supply in water ripple: 304 & 316
Jindal Stainless supplies the base grade that decides how long a sheet resists corrosion. The ripple pattern itself is just a decorative texture layered on top. A 304 water ripple sheet, also searched as ss 304 water ripple sheet, works well for indoor use and general decoration, and it's the default choice for most jobs. A 316 water ripple sheet brings molybdenum into the mix, which coastal, humid, and marine settings need since the surface has to fight off chloride pitting there.
Both come from genuine JSL-melted base material and ship with a mill test certificate. Composition and mechanical values track the standard published data per ASTM A240 / IS 6911, as produced by Jindal Stainless. Want the full breakdown? See SS 304 vs 316.
| Grade | UNS | Best for | Corrosion resistance | Magnetic | Grade page |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 304 / 304L | S30400 | Indoor, general decorative ripple work | Good, best all-round for interiors | Non-magnetic (austenitic) | 304 water ripple sheet grade |
| 316 / 316L | S31600 | Coastal, humid & marine ripple work | Higher, added molybdenum for chlorides | Non-magnetic (austenitic) | 316 water ripple sheet grade |
Grades outside this core decorative range can be supplied against indent or on request.
Base finishes & colour options
A skilled mason knows that a base finish shapes everything laid over it, and water ripple texture works the same way: the pattern reads differently depending on what sits underneath. Take a mirror water ripple ss sheet, it lays the ripple over a bright reflective mirror base, and that plain reflective base is covered on its own on our mirror finish SS sheets page. Colour comes next, applied as a PVD film over the ripple. A gold water ripple ss sheet, a black water ripple ss sheet, a rose-gold water ripple ss sheet, these are all the same texture, just finished with a titanium/zirconium-nitride PVD colour on top, drawn from our PVD colour SS sheets range. Pick the base finish and colour first. The ripple comes after.
| Base / colour option | What you get | Owner page for the base/colour |
|---|---|---|
| Mirror-base ripple | Ripple over a bright reflective mirror base, maximum light play | mirror finish SS sheets |
| PVD-coloured ripple | Gold, rose-gold or black PVD colour over the ripple/base | PVD colour SS sheets |
Sizes, thickness & weight
Water ripple sheets ship in standard Indian market sizes with a PVC protective peel film over the textured face to guard it in transit. The trade default is the water ripple ss sheet 8x4 (also written 4x8); larger cladding runs on water ripple ss sheet 4x10 and 5x10. The decorative thickness range typically runs 0.5–1.5 mm (roughly 26–16 gauge) for the base sheet. Water ripple ss sheet 0.8mm, 1mm and 1.2mm stocks cover most cladding, cabin and signage jobs, and the exact range on hand should be confirmed at the time of enquiry.
| Size (mm, W×L) | Size (ft) | Thickness range (mm) | Gauge (approx) | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1250×2500 | 8x4 / 4x8 | 0.5–1.5 mm | ≈26–16 g | Standard décor panels, lift cabins |
| 1250×3050 | 4x10 | 0.5–1.5 mm | ≈26–16 g | Taller cladding & partitions |
| 1500×3000 | 5x10 | 0.5–1.5 mm | ≈26–16 g | Large feature walls & columns |
| Cut-to-size | To your dimensions | 0.5–1.5 mm | — | Letter returns, custom panels |
For the water ripple sheet weight per 8x4, run the numbers through the stainless steel weight calculator and cross-check them against the SS sheet weight chart. Need the complete size and gauge reference instead? Head to SS sheet sizes & thickness.
Applications
Water ripple sheet fits jobs where the metal needs a textured, light-catching surface, and fingerprints or scuffs from daily use can't show.
| Use-case | Recommended grade | Note | Application page |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wall cladding & interiors | 304 (316 if coastal) | Ceilings, columns and partitions too | wall cladding & interiors |
| Elevator / lift cabins & doors | 304 | Ripple hides fingerprints and scuffs | elevators & lifts |
| Signage & fabricated letters | 304 | Textured face for feature signage | signage & letters |
| Bus body & transport interiors | 304 | Durable decorative panelling | bus body & transport |
A water ripple ss sheet for wall cladding typically runs 304 (316 near the coast). A water ripple sheet for elevator or lift cabin ranks among our most-requested jobs, since the texture hides handling marks. A water ripple sheet for ceiling, column or partition uses the same panels on interiors, and a water ripple sheet for signage or letters favours a textured feature face.

The water ripple texture, along with any mirror or PVD base colour, is finishing job-work applied on genuine Jindal base steel. We don't remelt or roll the steel ourselves.

FAQ
What is a water ripple stainless steel sheet?
Relinox supplies this decorative SS sheet as finishing job-work on genuine Jindal 304/316 base. It carries a 3-D water-ripple (wave) surface texture, usually over a mirror or PVD-coloured finish, and shows up in interiors, cladding, lift cabins and signage.
How is the water ripple pattern made?
The rippling wave texture gets pressed and rolled onto a genuine Jindal base sheet as a designer job-work finish. That's what makes it part of the surface itself, not something printed on top.
What is the difference between water ripple and embossed sheet?
Water ripple is just one flowing wave pattern. "Embossed" covers a lot more ground, linen, diamond, leather, bead and others. For those, check our embossed & textured SS sheets page.
Which grade is best, 304 or 316 water ripple?
Use 304 for indoor and general decorative work. For coastal, humid or marine environments, where the surface has to resist chloride pitting, go with 316/316L. See the 304 and 316 grade pages.
Can I get water ripple in gold or black?
Yes, colour is a PVD finish applied over the ripple/base, so gold, rose-gold and black are all available. Check out our PVD colour SS sheets page.
What sizes and thickness are available?
Standard sizes are 8x4 ft (1250×2500 mm), 4x10 (1250×3050 mm) and 5x10 (1500×3000 mm), plus cut-to-size options. These generally run 0.5–1.5 mm, or roughly 26–16 gauge. The exact stocked range gets confirmed on enquiry.
Is water ripple sheet suitable for elevators and cladding?
Yes, it's a common choice for lift cabins and doors, wall cladding, ceilings and columns. The texture also hides fingerprints and minor scuffs, which is why it works well on high-touch surfaces.
What does water ripple SS sheet cost?
The price is the base-grade rate per kg plus a ripple job-work premium, set by base finish, size and quantity. Bulk orders bring the per-kg rate down. Check our indicative price list and confirm today's rate on the RFQ; we don't quote a fixed number here.
