Benefits of Using Stainless Steel to Update Your Kitchen Counters
Blog | October 9th, 2017
If you ever walked into a professional kitchen then the first thing you probably would notice, outside of the shouting chef, is the dominant array of stainless steel kitchen counters. Stainless steel probably isn’t the first thought most people have when considering updating their countertops, but it should be. Stainless steel is becoming more and more popular as a kitchen appliance and for good reason. Today we are going to introduce you to stainless steel counters and show you the various benefits of using them in your restaurant or home kitchen.
What are the benefits of stainless steel kitchen counters?
Well, we’re glad that you asked. Stainless steel offers a variety of benefits from aesthetic to functional. You might not need all of these benefits but they’ll definitely improve the quality of your kitchen.
1. Durability – The calling card of a stainless steel appliance, much less a kitchen counter, is its longevity and durability. Stainless steel counters are resistant to everything you’ll come across in the kitchen: heat, water heavy stains — anything else. You can even take hot pans fresh off of the stove and set them on your counter. The steel will stay in great shape. With conventional kitchen counters you have to replace them due to wear, not the case here.
2. Hygiene – What’s better than a kitchen that is completely food safe? Stainless steel is non-porous and that means that no bacteria, mold, or common germs will be able to find a safe place to hide and spread. The fact that your stainless steel counter won’t stain is a huge deal as this allows you to easily wipe it clean after you use the counter for cooking. This is as hygienic a counter as you can get in a kitchen.
3. Appearance – Stainless steel is sleek, futuristic, and completely at home in just about any kind of functional kitchen. Stainless steel is also reflective so the more of it you use, the more of mirror effect you will get — thus making your kitchen look even larger. While adding stainless steel counters to your kitchen won’t add an extra comma on your home value it will still increase the value of it, at least marginally. A prettier kitchen is an easier kitchen to sell.
4. Low Maintenance – As we alluded to above, stainless steel kitchen counters are essentially self-maintaining. They don’t wear down. You don’t have to violently scrub them in order to keep them clean. This low maintenance factor makes it a perfect choice for commercial and residential properties.
