Custom Design and Engineering of Fabricated Stainless Steel and Aluminium for Commercial Kitchens
Blog | August 17th, 2018Wall-to-wall, a functional commercial kitchen has settled for stock cabinetry. The flimsy materials are in pristine condition, but they bend when they’re exposed to the slightest pressure. This kitchen is going to age terribly. If the owner had only opted for a custom design, a layout that used finely fabricated steel and aluminium, the situation would have been so much different.
Custom-Coated Stainless Steel
On top of aesthetics, commercial kitchen components feature hygiene-centric characteristics. For example, a stainless steel range hood has been fabricated so that it exudes contemporary charm. It’s constructed according to the most rigorous health and safety standards, yet it doesn’t feel customized, not quite. The owner wishes the metal was coated and coloured. Enter the custom design and engineering team. With their help, stainless steel can be sourced so that it exudes any one of the following looks:
- Satin steel finish
- A polished sheen
- Milled finish
- A brushed finish
- A patterned surface
Intelligently Managed Engineering
Fabricated aluminium cabinets and trolleys have access to the same technology, via anodizing and electroplating techniques. However, there are limits to this approach. The client may wish a custom designed surface satisfied the desired job ticket, but the ability to fulfil customer specifications has to be realistic. Think about the custom engineered range hood mentioned earlier. It cleans easily and rejects bacterial colonization when the selected alloy is mechanically polished, but that feature is going to suffer if the sourced metal is coated with a pattern. Attractive or not, kitchen fabrication prioritization places hygiene and food safety above all else.
Custom Profiled Commercial Kitchens
To the client, his rough sketches seem inadequate. But, given to the right engineering service, those rough drawings rapidly grow into complex technical drawings. Of course, standard squarish sections quickly pass through workshop folding and pressing machines, but what about the more complex pieces. What if those sketches include curves and rounded corners? Well, this isn’t the kind of work that should be left in the hands of a general-purpose machine shop. To the contrary, when commercial kitchens need exquisitely profiled stainless steel or aluminium cabinets, then a specialized engineering team is the only real option, because, more than ever now, those surfaces require food-safe fabrication know-how.
A plain commercial kitchen is generally attractive, generally sanitary, even, but it’s hardly an inspiring place to prepare and cook food. To inject a boring catering area with creative flair, the project needs more. It needs a specialized, highly capable engineering team to revitalize and customize, to equip the area plan with best-in-class stainless steel and aluminium units.
