Stainless Steel Benches in Your Home
If it’s good enough for the pros, why not bring stainless steel to your home? Here are some of the best uses for fabricated stainless steel benches in your home and their advantages.
Kitchen
Everyone who has cooked a meal will tell you that quality kitchen equipment and an efficient layout make all the difference. With a stainless steel fit-out, you will literally have a kitchen made from the material used by professional chefs. With the option of sinks, ovens, splashbacks, shelves and stove tops, you’ll be giving Gordon Ramsay a run for his money in no time.
Outdoor Kitchen
Few things beat a BBQ with friends and family, and with a custom-designed BBQ and an outdoor stainless steel bench, you’ll become the host with the most. Stainless steel is perfect for outdoor environments, considering its corrosion resistance and long lifespan. With a custom-made outdoor steel bench and BBQ, you’ll spend many weekends sizzling snags and making memories.
Laundry Facilities
With your laundry being the home to your cleaning products and chemicals, not to mention all the moisture, you need a bench that can withstand all of these factors. While wood looks nice, it’s vulnerable to damage in a laundry environment. Stainless steel is used in professional laundromats, so it’s an investment you’ll clean up on.
Home Workshop or Office
Whether you love tinkering with things in the back shed or have decided to work remotely from home, a stainless steel bench can suit any application. Strong and durable, your bench can handle anything from garden tools to office supplies.
Stainless Steel Benches in Your Business
When it comes to food preparation, laboratory work or medical work, there’s only one choice of materials that will cover all your business needs. You guessed it. Stainless steel! Below are some of the most common uses for stainless steel benches in commercial businesses.
Restaurant Kitchens and Catering Services
Few places are as hectic as a busy professional kitchen, and you need a material with integrity to see you through the dinner rush. Stainless steel is the standard choice for any surface in a restaurant kitchen that will meet all safety, hygiene and functional requirements.
Perfect for any professional cooking environment, from fast food to the fanciest restaurant in town, stainless steel workbenches will be the backbone of your business for years to come. With custom fabrication, the perfect bench can be custom-made for your business, production line and floor space. Whether you need cabinets, sink benches, ovens or shelves, a stainless steel fabricator can design the perfect workbench for your kitchen.
Bars
Spills in a bar are inevitable, especially on a busy night. Beyond simply looking messy, dirt, moisture and grime can destroy materials like timber over time. On the other hand, stainless steel can handle all these contaminants and requires little maintenance and cleaning to keep your bar looking its best. A custom-designed stainless steel benchtop with a splashback will make cleaning a breeze. It can be specifically created to suit any layout and feature sinks, bar fridges, splashbacks, or any other type of addition you need.
Food-Processing Factories
When mass-producing food for public consumption, hygiene and avoiding any bacterial contamination is a matter of the utmost importance. Stainless steel benches can be built to your specified length, width and thickness with all the features to help your operation run smoothly.
Laboratories and Medical Facilities
Whether performing scientific research or inspecting a medical sample, your area must remain uncontaminated and hygienic. They are also heat resistant and easy to clean, making them ideal for lab conditions.
Bathroom Facilities
Whether for public toilets or a restroom for staff, stainless steel benches can be an ideal addition to a hygienic, easy-to-clean bathroom bench with sinks and fixtures.
