Why are stainless steel countertops used in restaurants and homes around the world?
10 Reasons Why Stainless Steel Countertops Will Give Your Home And/Or Restaurant Great Benefits Along With The Following:
Resistant and durable to almost everything.
This countertop does not stain! You no longer have to fear beets, acids, wine or food colouring.
The stainless steel counters make it perfect for families with small children who love to work alongside mom and dad to prepare a meal.
Bacteria, mold and other common germs don’t stand a chance with stainless steel. Why? Because stainless steel has a non-porous surface, which means that no liquid or substance can penetrate the material. The opportunity for peace of mind is tremendous so that you can enjoy a completely sanitary surface for preparing food.
Feel free to drop off all your pots and pans without worrying about damage. The hob will get hot in the area where the pot is placed but will not damage the stainless steel. The only way to affect the counter surface would be to pour molten lava on top of it, and I can’t imagine this happening.
These countertops can be custom made to fit your kitchen or restaurant. You will end up with a unique and elegant countertop that looks absolutely brilliant.
Cleanup is a breeze with a seamless sink installed. Many people choose to weld and polish their stainless steel sink, which makes cleaning easier because there are no seams to collect debris and grow bacteria.
Stainless steel countertops offer a unique look that blends perfectly with modern kitchens. Because stainless steel is also neutral in color, it can be used in any style of kitchen design. Even the most common kitchen decor will welcome a stainless steel countertop without a problem.
Create a bigger kitchen! By working with stainless steel as countertops, it reflects various surfaces and lighting in your kitchen to create the illusion that the room is much larger and brighter. Proper lighting will be key if this is your goal.
And last but not least, they look great!
CAVEAT
When you first buy your stainless steel countertop, it will look perfect. However, you should be aware that this will change. After a bit of wear and tear, your first scratch will happen, and when it does, you’ll be very upset. But don’t worry, it will get better. In fact, these scratches should be seen as the defining features of your new countertop.
Over time, with new scratches, it begins to skate and in the process looks much better with more character. If you want to see for yourself what this will look like, take a trip to Lowes or Home Depot and look at the paint section counter. That’s an extreme example, but it gives you an idea of what wear and tear looks like. Restaurant kitchen tables will also give a good idea of how it will ultimately look. That said, before you consider a stainless steel countertop, you’ll want to visualize this type of look in your kitchen and ask yourself what I want. I’m telling you this because we don’t want to sell just one countertop, we want people to be happy with their choice.
In short, stainless steel is an amazing material for both home and commercial use. When it comes to inviting this metal into your home, it’s all going to come down to your personal preference. Ask yourself: is stainless steel right for me? In our experience, people say yes because they like the look, durability, and health benefits.
