FAQs Stainless Steel Benches

Which stainless steel type is food-grade?

Food grade stainless steel is deemed safe for the storage and preparation of food, which is essential for your commercial kitchen! The most popular food-grade stainless steel is type 304. 304 grade stainless steel is also food grade, and additionally, it is acid resistant – making it the toughest, most durable option for your kitchen. All of our stainless steel kitchen benches and shelves are made from commercial grade 304 stainless steel, as specified in the product descriptions. 

Do your workbenches come with wheels?

Do you supply custom benches?

Can my stainless steel benches be left outside?

Our resilient stainless steel benches can be left outside, but additional care and upkeep are needed. If the bench is used outside, particularly in wet, salty, or humid conditions, it should be regularly wiped down. This helps to prevent dust, dirt and moisture from building up on the surface which can cause the bench to rust. A strong stainless steel cleaner should be routinely used to keep benches in excellent condition.

Do you supply individual benchtops?

We are unfortunately unable to supply individual benchtops. However, we can supply benches flat packed, so you may still find it is more economical to use one of our benches compared to the price of having a top custom made.

Are the benches and sinks considered heavy duty?

Our commercial benches and commercial sinks that are labelled as heavy-duty are suitable for high traffic and usage.

Why are you so much cheaper than your competitors?

We want to bring you great quality products at great prices. This means we focus on keeping our own overhead costs as low as possible so we can reflect these savings in our list prices. As stainless steel fabricators, we cut out the middlemen and sell direct, which keeps costs down.
