Advantages to Using Stainless Steel for Commercial and Home Kitchens

Find out about the many benefits to using stainless steel for commercial and home kitchens.

Have you ever observed media coverage on infamous international hotels and restaurants?  I am referring to the type of coverage that gives you a tour of the beautifully designed facilities and shows why specific materials are chosen.  It provides the audience with an inside glimpse of the workings behind these successful, masterful businesses.  They discuss hygienic and cost-effective decisions being the driving force behind why particular metals are used, especially stainless steel.  Today I am going to share with you a brief summary of this coverage as it relates to the advantages of using stainless steel for commercial and home usage.

Stainless steel is a resilient, 100% recyclable, hygienic material making it a popular choice for commercial and home kitchens alike.  It has a universal appeal that works with modern, sleek-looking kitchens while providing a non-contamination working zone.  Utensils, appliances, flat surfaces and backsplashes ensuring longevity and corrosion-resistant traits are produced from stainless steel.  This prevents food contamination from occurring while keeping everything aesthetically appealing.  It is easy to clean and requires little to no maintenance and/or upkeep costs.  These advantages alone make it an ideal choice for commercial and home kitchens.  It is why these benefits are frequently mentioned in hotel and restaurant media coverage today.

How Architects and Building Designers Choose What Steel to Use

Different steels are used for distinct purposes. Find out which steel grade meets your project requirements.

Steel comes in many different strengths, weights and finishes.  Due to the diverse attributes steel demonstrates, the same steel would not be used for all objectives.  You will not use the exact steel for a stainless steel bridge and steel rails.  The needs are distinctive.  Let’s take a closer look on how the selection process for such materials is implemented.

When designing a bridge, you need a metal that is able to hold significant weight without fraying or breaking.  You need one that is higher in strength than what is required to ensure the safety of passengers and vehicles.  Also, you need to check the toughness it has to stress corrosion cracking.  Find out if it is able to hold up under extreme weight and able to be welded and joined to other pieces without fracturing or corroding.  The tiniest crack can spread and rupture the entire structure along with anyone on, underneath and near it.  The corrosion resistance is vital. If this type of metal bridge falls apart then the results would be fatal.

Alternatively, if you are looking to produce steel rails then your needs change from the above.  A strong metal that emits outstanding wear opposition is the way to go.
