Ultimate FAQ Guide to Stainless Steel Worktops

Is stainless steel better than other materials for worktops?

Stainless steel worktops have their pros and cons, advantages and disadvantages.

Stainless steel is more resistant to various conditions like heat, humidity, impact, and chemicals.         

Furthermore, stainless steel protects from rust, so the worktop will serve you longer than other types of material.

Stainless steel is more expensive than other worktop materials; stainless steel tends to be twice as expensive as granite, for example.

This is why it is better to order stainless steel worktops from China—and KDM— since it will be cheaper.

 Stainless steel worktop

Stainless steel, like most metals, is non-porous.

This means that bacteria and toxins won’t get absorbed into the worktop material, which presents a health hazard.

Although granite is cheaper, it is a porous material.

Another advantage of stainless steel worktops is that you can set hot pans and trays right on the surface.

If you are in a haste, you would not need to worry about a trivet, unlike with other countertop materials.

This is especially useful for high-stress cooking environments like fast-food restaurants.

And if you are cautious about the environment, know that stainless steel worktops can be recycled.

Stainless steel may not be for you if you worry about noise, scratches, or fingerprints, since metal is susceptible to these.

What type of stainless steel is used for worktops ?

Stainless steel worktops can be made with steel grades 304, 316, and 430.

ステンレス鋼は、鉄と炭素の合金にクロム、ニッケル、モリブデンをさまざまな割合で加えて作られます。

Steel grades differ in the content of all these additives.

316 stainless steel protects the best against salt spray, certain acids, and high temperatures because of its higher concentration of molybdenum.

ステンレス鋼

Grade 316 is, thus, really good for worktops and countertops: cooking and cleaning.

Grade 304 is cheaper and more common in general use, but it is also very durable.

316L または 304L のステンレス鋼グレードもあります。

グレード 316L および 304L は炭素含有量が低いため、強度が少し高くなります。

Cold-rolled steel is similarly very strong because it is denser, so its sheet is thin, but strong.

However, these types of steel are not very frequently used on the market.

鋼グレード 430 も非常に人気があり安価ですが、グレード 304 や 316 よりも耐久性が劣ります。

We especially recommend grades 430 and 316 for stainless steel worktops: because one is cheap and the other is exceptionally durable.

What gauge stainless steel is best for worktops?

The lower the gauge, the stronger, thicker, and more expensive sheet metal is.

Commercial applications, like restaurant worktops, usually request 14 gauge, which is about 2 mm thick.

Residential worktops are perfectly fine with 16 or even 18 gauge stainless steel, which is equivalent to 1.3-1.6 mm in thickness.

ステンレスゲージ

Do stainless steel worktops rust?

‘Stainless’ is a little misleading; this type of steel does get stained, but it does not rust.

Stainless steel does not rust unless it comes in contact with concentrated bleach.

This is why it is important to clean your worktop, but not with harsh chemicals.

Some substances discolor stainless steel, so it may appear rusted, but it is not corroded.

染色

This is known as tea-staining, but it does not affect the lifetime of your stainless steel worktop.

Smoke and salt are examples of substances that can discolor your stainless steel worktop.

Also, stainless steel sinks can be discolored by harsh water—water high in salts and minerals.

Are stainless steel worktops resistant to heat?

Out of all worktop/countertop materials, stainless steel is the most heat-resistant one!

However, because it is a metal, it will conduct heat.

This means that if you put a hot pan on it, the worktop may get very hot as well, making it possible to get a slight burn.

だから、気をつけてください！

But other than that, stainless steel is a good, resilient material for worktops.

Does vinegar damage stainless steel countertops?

Not really, because vinegar is a weak acid.

Stainless steel worktops can actually be cleaned well with vinegar.

However, vinegar should not be mixed with bleach or other cleaning substances because that presents a chemical hazard—both to stainless steel and personnel.

    Cleaning with vinegar

So, if you are afraid that some vinegar will spill onto the worktop, no worries!

How to take care of stainless steel worktops?

Stainless steel worktops are easy to maintain.

All they require is an occasional wipe with soapy water and a cloth.

Harsh chemicals shouldn’t be used, as they can stain the steel.

What is the difference between stainless steel kitchen countertops and worktops?

Stainless steel countertops are surfaces on top of a counter in the kitchen.

Stainless steel worktops are surfaces atop cabinets and drawers.

 Countertop

Essentially, countertops and worktops are the same things, only worktops are a little more versatile.

Also, the work ‘worktop’ is more used in the UK, so it is a dialect issue.

How are stainless steel worktops made?

Stainless steel countertops are custom-made for your application.

The process begins with all raw materials: stainless steel sheet metal.

We create a scheme of your worktop design, like a blueprint, which shows all the cuts, holes, and bends that are necessary.

One large sheet is cut down to size, and then the necessary holes and cuts are made in places for the sink, faucets, and turns in your counter space.

A large machine bends the sheet in the appropriate places to create finished edges.

Some stainless steel worktops can have a wooden substrate—a main layer of the worktop that a sheet of stainless steel is fastened to.

 Wooden substrate

This substrate helps fasten the worktop to your cabinet sections, and also provides a sound buffer.

Since metal produces a lot of noise upon impact, a wooden substrate will absorb it, so your cooking will not be bothersome.

Finally, workers weld the seams and polish the worktop.

  Welding stainless steel

The finished products are shipped to your home or business.

Where are stainless steel worktops used?

Stainless steel worktops can be used in a variety of ways.

Most often, they are installed in residential or commercial kitchens, which include restaurants, school cafeterias, cafes aboard a ship or train, workshops, even in scientific labs—anywhere a worktop is needed.

Such a worktop will be a great addition to a restaurant cabinet.

For residential applications, simple stainless steel worktops with cabinets, but without sinks and faucets, are ideal as kitchen islands.

Stainless steel kitchen island

Sinks are necessary in many places, so industrial stainless steel countertops with integrated sinks are required as well.

Even some factories benefit from having stainless steel worktops, using them as tables.

Various garages, as well, may use stainless steel worktops for work.

Many school and university labs also need stainless steel worktops to perform experiments on.

Stainless steel worktops have many more applications than cooking.

汎用性と耐久性に優れているため、あらゆる用途に適しています。

What is an integrated sink worktop/countertop?

An integrated sink worktop is when the sink is seamlessly made a part of the worktop.

Integrated sinks are aesthetic and easy to clean, but if a part of it gets damaged, the whole worktop may need replacement.

On the flip side, stainless steel is durable and is unlikely to get damaged.

 Integrated sink worktop

Integrated sinks are useful, but they also may be expensive.

Most restaurants use integrated sink worktops because it also saves space.

How do commercial and residential stainless steel worktops differ?

Commercial and residential kitchens differ, and so do their designs.

Commercial kitchens are built for function, so they use a lot of stainless steel worktops, backsplashes, cabinets, appliances, and much more.

   Commercial worktop

Commercial kitchens, therefore, are more likely to need cabinets, double sinks, and drawers.

On the other hand, residential kitchens are built for style, so they are likelier to require single sinks and simple worktops with a minimal, chic aesthetic.

Residential worktop

What are some additional design features I can add to a stainless steel worktop?

Some features you can request in addition to stainless steel worktops include sinks, faucets, casters, and various storage units like drawers and under-counters.

Sinks can be integrated into the worktop, or they can be accounted for with a hole in the sheet metal.

If you want to install a separate sink, then we just make a cutout for it, and you can install the sink you want later on.

You can request single or double sinks, and sinks of any size and shape.

Although, rectangular or D-shaped sink designs are the most popular.

Stainless steel sink and faucet

Faucets go with the sinks, and you can request either one or more.

Casters are small wheels on the bottom of your worktop.

If you want a portable kitchen island, portable commercial restaurant worktop, or a worktop that can be used as a trolley, then casters are for you.

Besides casters, we can manufacture worktops on a pedestal or on legs of various heights—long legs or short legs, depending on the under-counter storage area.

Worktop legs and casters

As for storage units, you can request any custom storage stainless steel configuration that you need.

We offer single- and multi-door storage units that go under the main worktop surface.

These storage units can be broken into shelves for more efficient storage.

Stainless steel worktop with doors

Also, the storage units can be equipped with locks and vents for security and air circulation.

Also, we can manufacture sets of drawers that can be used for cutlery, tools and anything else that you need.

   ステンレススチールの引き出し

Worktops can be in any shape, but square, rectangular, and corner shapes are the most common.

If your kitchen is small and you need the worktop to turn a corner, that is possible.

All of these are custom, so contact us to discuss your design idea!

What can I put into under-counter compartments?

You can use the under-counter area to put away various appliances like microwaves and mixers.

Furthermore, you can install more heavy-duty appliances in the compartments as well.

It is common for people to install dishwashers and under-counter small fridges there.

Worktop with under-counter freezer 

For that, the worktop will need some extra internal designing and it will be more difficult to install and connect to the water supply.

However, such a set-up is useful for commercial applications.

What coatings for stainless steel worktops are there?

You can request various polishes like satin, brushed, mirror, hammered, antique matte, cross, vibration, and many more.

Satin polish is an abrasive polish that uses aluminum oxide as an abrasive substance.

ステンレス鋼の研磨

This finish produces a fairly smooth surface good for stainless steel worktops/countertops.

There is also brushed/hairline finish, which shows lines and is rougher to touch; brushed finish may not be great for cooking because the tiny grooves accumulate grease and are harder to clean.

しかし、ブラシ仕上げのポリッシュは傷や指紋が目立ちません。

ブラシ仕上げとサテン仕上げ

クロスポリッシュはブラシ仕上げに似ていますが、線が 45 度の角度で交わります。

A mirror polish is exactly what it sounds like — a very smooth mirror surface.

掃除は簡単ですが、このような表面には傷や指紋が目立ちます。

鏡面磨きは見た目がとても美しく、工業的で、未来的です。

鏡面仕上げ

Antique matte gives the worktop a very soft look.

It guards against fingerprints and has a grainy texture similar to cross polish.

Antique matte finish

The hammered finish has a unique look.

It has dents all over it, which aren’t very functional but grant a special aesthetic effect.

 Hammered polish

バイブレーションポリッシュは基本的にブラシポリッシュですが、ラインに方向性はありません。

Such polish reflects the light in an interesting way, looking expensive.

指紋からも保護します。

バイブレーションポリッシュ

There is also ceramic coating that is popular for stainless steel worktops.

By adding a layer of ceramic particles, stainless steel becomes more resistant to corrosion and stains.

It looks like an antique matte, but duller.

Ceramic coating

Most often, however, brushed or matte polishes are done for worktops, while interesting custom finishes are used on backsplashes.

If you need a custom polish, contact us and we will design it for you!

What is backsplash?

A backsplash is a panel behind the sink or the stove that protects the wall from grease and water splashes, granting a stylish look.

Typically, stainless steel is used as a countertop/worktop and sink material, while something else, such as tiles, is used on the backsplash.

 Stainless steel backsplash

However, it is possible to design a worktop with a connected stainless steel backsplash.

The sheet of metal will simply be bent upwards for the backsplash, or seamlessly welded.

This is an optimal setup for easy cleaning, which is why many professional kitchens in restaurants and cafeterias choose this design.

Backsplashes do not have to cover the entire back wall area, they can be small raised panels as well.

Small backsplash

You can request stainless steel tiles for a backsplash or a whole sheet.

エッジプロファイルとは何ですか?

An edge profile is the design of the worktop’s edges.

エッジの種類によって、美観や機能上の目的が異なります。

エッジをデザインする方法には、スクエア、ベベル、ブルノーズ、マリンなどいくつかあります。

Square edges—or flat edges—are the most common ones, and they look very professional.

Beveled edges are sloped either on the top or both top and bottom.

 エッジプロファイル

こうすると、鋭い上部がなくなるため、より安全なエッジが作成されます。

面取りされたエッジは、傾斜の厳しさと相まって丸みのある外観も備えています。

ブルノーズのエッジは丸みを帯びており、鋭いエッジにぶつかっても安全です。

Such an edge profile is especially good for residential homes with children, since kids can hit their head on the countertop, and rounded edges won’t hurt as much.

マリンエッジはわずかに盛り上がっており、液体が床に飛び散るのを防ぎます。

マリンエッジ

Such edges are popular aboard ships in the cooking spaces—if the ship rolls on the waves, food won’t fall off the worktop.

Why request two sinks instead of one?

Choosing whether to use a single or a double sink depends on your needs.

If you do a lot of cooking and washing, then having a double sink can be better.

For example, if you have a double sink, it is possible to separate heavier items from more delicate ones, while in a single sink, delicate cutlery items may break more easily.

Having two sinks also allows you to keep one of them clean while you use another.

You can also use space more efficiently.

     Double sink

For example, washing dishes in one sink, while washing vegetables or defrosting meats in another.

North American homes and businesses often have double sinks because of the way people wash dishes there: washing in one sink and rinsing in another.

However, a double sink can take up a lot of space, so single sinks are better for smaller kitchens.

Plus, with a single sink, you will have enough space for drying the dishes—if you don’t have many.

  Single sink

Single sinks are, thus, better for residential applications, while double sinks are better for commercial ones.

Finally, if your cabinet is fitted for a small sink base, you may have more options for sink and faucet styles when selecting a single sink because double sinks require a larger base.

How are stainless steel worktops installed?

Some countertops require days of installation.

For example, concrete must be poured, granite must be sealed with a non-porous coating, tiles must also be sealed, the wood must be sanded, and so on.

However, stainless steel is easier to install.

Once the manufacturer ships your assembled, fully stainless steel worktop shop, there’s little to do once the product arrives at your home or business location.

Installation of stainless steel worktop

Sometimes, though, professional installation may be required to put the worktop in place, fasten it to your existing cabinets, and connect the faucets to your water supply.
