Ultimate FAQ Guide to Stainless Steel Cupboard

What Are Some Advantages Of Stainless Steel Cupboards?

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

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

 Stainless steel cupboard

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

This means that bacteria and toxins will not get absorbed into the cupboard material. 

This is why stainless steel cupboards are especially great for food and medical applications. 

Stainless steel can also be recycled, so if you stop needing your stainless steel cupboard, you can get rid of it in an environmentally friendly way.

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

What Are Some Disadvantages Of Stainless Steel Cupboards?

Stainless steel is more expensive than other materials. 

This is why it is better to order stainless steel cupboards from China—and KDM—for a cheaper price.

Stainless steel is also susceptible to scratches, fingerprints, and tea-staining. 

Although the scratches and fingerprints can be diminished by requesting a brushed finish.

Meanwhile, tea-staining is a rust-looking change in the color of stainless steel.

It is not corrosion, just staining. 

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

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

    Tea-staining

Smoke, salt, heat, and harsh water can discolor your stainless steel cupboard. 

Finally, stainless steel is noisy, so putting tools or cutlery into, or closing a door of such a cupboard will produce a clanging noise.

And if that is something that will bother you, stainless steel is not the best option.

What Type Of Stainless Steel Are Cupboards Made Of?

Stainless steel is made by adding chromium, nickel, and molybdenum in different proportions to the iron-carbon alloy. 

Steel grades differ in the content of all these additives. 

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

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

Stainless steel

Grade 316 is really good for kitchens and medical equipment because it is so corrosion- and heat-resistant.

Grade 304 is cheaper and more common in general use.

Grades 316L and 304L have a lower carbon content, making them a little bit stronger. 

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

Steel grade 430 is also very popular and cheap, but less durable than grades 304 and 316. 

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

What Dimensions Should Stainless Steel Cupboards Be?

Standard stainless steel cupboards tend to be 30-45 inches or about 80-110 cm in height.

The average depth tends to be about 24 inches or 60 cm.

The average width is 12-42 inches or 30-100 cm.

However, the dimensions depend on your application, how much the cupboard needs to house, where it will be installed, and how mobile or stationary it will be.

How To Take Care Of Stainless Steel Cupboards?

Stainless steel cupboards are easy to maintain. 

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

Harsh chemicals should not be used, as they can stain the material. 

How Are Stainless Steel Cupboards manufactured?

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

One large sheet of stainless steel—usually gauges 18 or 14— is cut down to the appropriate size. 

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

To enforce certain parts of the cupboard, sheet metal is folded several times.

This is done for gussets, ribs, and end panels.

After that, the top, bottom, and sides are welded together either continuously, or using spot welding.

Spot welding is when welds are made at regular intervals. 

Welding stainless steel

This does not take as long as continuous welding, but it may not be as strong. 

Then, any shelves, doors, and drawers are installed or welded into the empty cupboard. 

Then, the cupboard is polished and shipped to your home or business.

Where Are Some Applications For Stainless Steel Cupboards?

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

Our stainless steel cupboards can serve as industrial storage units for factories and warehouses, wardrobes, medical storage, residential and commercial kitchen cabinets, storage for laboratory equipment, or even a file cabinet. 

Industrial storage units need to be heavy-duty like NEMA or IP enclosures. 

Such storage units may house equipment, operating manuals, tools, warehouse items. 

Stainless steel industrial storage cupboards need to have shelves that can take up to 200 kilograms, and doors with locks to protect the contents of the cupboard.

Warehouse cupboard

Specialty industrial storage cupboards include aerosol storage, chain hoist cabinet, and cabinet with a ramp.

Aerosol storage needs to have thicker walls because aerosols are dangerous; chain hoist cabinets need to have very strong shelves, bars, or hooks to withstand the weight of hoses or chains; ramps help load heavy items or equipment into the cupboard. 

Stainless steel cupboard with a ramp

Stainless steel wardrobes need a lot of shelves, but also a large empty space with a bar for hanging up clothes. 

Such cupboards may also require a safe to lock small valuables and documents in.

These cupboards are also great for workplace changerooms to hang up uniforms. 

Stainless steel wardrobe

These can be residential, as well as commercial in hotel rooms. 

Medical storage cupboards are great in stainless steel because this metal is sterile and hygienic. 

These will have a lot of small and big compartments for various supplies and medications.

It is very important to have locks on such cupboards, and if there are any glass doors, they should be made from impact-resistant glass.

Medical stainless-steel cupboard

Medical cupboards may also need a worktop surface and casters for mobility and versatility in emergency situations. 

Similarly, such cupboards are great for schools and laboratories to store scientific equipment and various experiment chemicals and biological matter. 

We also offer decorative cupboards with regular glass doors and windows.

Stainless steel decorative cupboard

These cupboards are traditionally used to display decorative dishes and various art, photos, bar glasses, and souvenirs. 

Books can also go in here, which is why these cupboards can be a great addition to a school, university, corporate, or personal library. 

Such a cupboard can also be used as a restaurant cabinet. 

Finally, for an office, stainless steel cupboards can function as filing cabinets.

For this application, the cupboard needs to have many drawers, each with a lock to protect important files and documents. 

Furthermore, our stainless steel cupboards are versatile for any other application.

What Are Some Specialty Designs Of Stainless Steel Cupboards?

These holes or hooks can be used to hang various tools, which are useful in factories, janitorial applications, and creative decor solutions.

Hydraulic hose cupboards typically house hoses, but they can house anything else as well.

Their special feature is that they have vertical shelves—or rather, dividers—that break up the space of the cupboard into vertical chunks. 

Such cupboards can be used for anything that requires vertical storage, which includes hoses, and even paintings.

Regular designs include wall-mounted and floor-standing.

Wall-mounted can be installed with brackets as a higher shelf or an above-counter cabinet.

Floor-standing cupboards may be on a pedestal, have legs, or have casters. 

What Is An Upstand?

An upstand is the higher part of a worktop that slightly protrudes beyond the depth of the main cabinet.

They hide the gap between the cabinet and the wall, as well as provide a working surface.

They also protect a small part of the wall from splashes.

Upstands are great for kitchen cupboards, as well as for laboratories. 

What Are Some Additional Design Features I Can Request For A Stainless Steel Cupboard?

Some features you can request in addition to stainless steel cupboards include casters, shelves, drawers, doors, glass windows, organizational hooks, bars, locks, and various handles. 

Casters are small wheels on the bottom of your cupboard.

If you want a portable kitchen island, portable commercial restaurant or medical trolley, or you just want a mobile cupboard, then casters are for you.

Besides casters, we can manufacture cupboards on a pedestal or on legs.

Cupboard legs and casters

We offer stainless steel shelves for more efficient storage.

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

 Stainless steel drawers

We manufacture stainless steel cupboards with single doors and multiple doors.

The cupboards can also have doors of different sizes—bigger on the upper level, and smaller on the lower, for example. 

We also make glass doors and windows, so the cupboard can be looked into.

These windows can also be made from ABS for impact-resistance. 

For pegboard cupboards, cupboards for tools and wardrobes, there are various organizational hooks and bars to hang clothes on.

What Are The Types Of Doors Used For Stainless Steel Cupboards?

r stainless steel cupboards include bi-fold doors, Clearview doors, standard doors, sliding doors, ventilated doors, and roll-up doors.  

Bi-fold doors slide out and fold in on themselves, saving you a lot of space.

Thus, bi-fold doors are great for cramped places like kitchen pantries and laundry rooms

Bi-fold doors

However, these doors may require maintenance, as they operate on a track, which can become troublesome with time and extensive use. 

Clearview doors have glass windows and parts that allow you to look into the cupboard, making it great for decorative and medical uses.

Clearview doors

Standard doors are simple hinged doors.

We offer single doors, as well as multiple doors. 

Sliding doors are basically panels on tracks that can move to the side. 

Usually, there is a static and mobile component.

These doors also save a lot of space if they are double doors—the sliding door then overlaps the stationary door.

We also offer incomplete sliding doors that leave a part of the cupboard open and you can slide the door to the side to close and open certain parts.

Ventilated doors are great if you are planning to store food, electrical equipment, or medications in your stainless steel cupboard.

Stainless steel vented doors

The openings or vents allow air to move in and out of the cupboard, cooling it down and keeping the air inside fresh.

Roll-up doors are similar to roll-up garage doors

If you have more specific requests about the doors, then feel free to contact us!

What Types Of Handles Are Used For Stainless Steel Cupboards?

What Do I Need To Specify When Requesting A Stainless Steel Cupboard?

You will need to think of a few things. 

First, what is the cupboard style you want?

We offer industrial, medical, decorative, clothes storage, and versatile cupboards.

Second, what is your application, and what strength rating do you need?

The possibilities are these: commercial, heavy-duty, and industrial.

Industrial is the strongest and most secure type, but it can also be the most expensive.

Third, you will need to consider the dimensions of height, width, and depth. 

Then, think about the type of door and handle that you need.

Furthermore, you will need to think about whether you need the cupboard to lock and what locking mechanism you want. 

You can find the descriptions of these above. 

Other important specifications include the number of shelves if any, the number of doors, if any, and the number of drawers, if any. 

If you do want shelves and drawers, you will need to consider their capacity—how much weight do they need to uphold.

   Small stainless steel cupboard

Some industrial shelves are capable of holding up to 1300 kilograms!

Plus, you might need to think about the desirable method of construction, which includes bolted or welded.

Bolted cupboards can be assembled by you and they can be modular; whereas, welded cupboards are stronger.

Will your cupboard be stationary or mobile is yet another consideration you need to make. 

Finally, the finish and color of the cupboard should be requested as well. 

What Finishes And Coatings For Stainless Steel Cupboards Are There?

You can request various polishes like satin, brushed, mirror, vibration, and many more. 

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

 Polishing stainless steel

This finish produces a fairly smooth surface good for stainless steel cupboards.

There is also a brushed/hairline finish, which shows lines and is rougher to touch.

However, the brushed polish does not show scratches and fingerprints.

Brushed vs satin polish

A mirror polish is a very smooth mirror surface.

It is easier to clean, but any scratches and fingerprints are very prominent on such a surface.

Mirror polish does look very aesthetic, industrial, and futuristic.

Mirror finish

 

Vibration polish is basically rushed polish, but the lines are non-directional. 

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

It also protects from fingerprints.

Vibration polish

Most often, however, brushed or satin polishes are done for stainless steel cupboards.

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

Some of the coatings that are popular include baked enamel and powder coating. 

Baked enamel is a hard, glossy varnish made from a resin that is baked at high temperatures.

 Baked enamel

Such enamel is very resistant to wear, so the cupboard will serve you longer. 

Powder coating is when powder paint is electrostatically sprayed onto a metal surface. 

Powder coating

Both coatings can be of any color. 

However, most manufacturers opt for powder coating because it does not produce toxins that baking enamel does. 

Also, powder coating has better edge coverage.
