Stainless Steel Commercial Kitchen Equipment

For most commercial kitchen surfaces, 16-gauge stainless steel is the industry standard, offering a solid balance of strength and workability. Countertops and work tables typically use 14- to 16-gauge for heavy-duty use, while lighter applications such as wall panels and backsplashes may use 18- to 20-gauge material. Thicker gauge means a lower number and greater durability.

Yes. Custom Metal Home specializes in custom fabrication, meaning countertops, shelving, cabinets, range hoods, and all other kitchen pieces can be manufactured to your specified dimensions. This ensures a precise fit for any kitchen layout, whether for new construction, remodeling, or replacing existing equipment.

Clean stainless steel surfaces regularly with warm soapy water or a dedicated stainless steel cleaner, always wiping in the direction of the grain to avoid scratching. Avoid steel wool, bleach, or chloride-based cleaners that can damage the protective oxide layer. Periodic application of a stainless steel polish helps maintain the surface finish and resist fingerprints.

Stainless steel is one of the most hygienic surfaces available for food preparation. Its non-porous surface resists bacterial growth, does not absorb odors or stains, and withstands high-temperature sanitizing. This is why Type 304 stainless steel is the material of choice for NSF-compliant commercial kitchen equipment used in restaurants, hospitals, and food processing facilities.
