If you want </span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="Apple-style-span">longevity, cleanliness and overall aesthetics</span></span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">, then stainless steel might be the right choice for you.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Stainless steel counter tops are by no means the newest product to arrive on the kitchen front. In fact, stainless steel sinks and counter tops were</span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"> </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">first introduced to consumers in 1933</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">. Since the introduction of stainless steel to the kitchen, commercial restaurants have decided to use stainless steel as their primary choice for a number of reasons: </span><span style="font-weight: bold;" class="Apple-style-span"><span style="font-weight: normal;" class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">it's the only counter that is </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">safe to bleach, easy to clean, doesn't chip and will not crack. </span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">In fact, when stainless steel is scratched, the natural protective layer will reform, therefore, reducing the potential harboring of bacteria.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">Cleanliness isn't the only factor steering homeowners towards stainless steel. Stainless steel provides a look like no other. By its intrinsic nature, </span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">stainless steel has the ability to blend well with all decors</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">.

Your metal fabricator will help you with all of your decisions down to the proper substrate. There's a plethora of different grades of stainless steel to choose from and you want to make sure you're choosing the right product. Typically, residential countertops are made from 16 gauge #304 Stainless Steel. This gauge allows for <span style="font-weight: bold;" class="Apple-style-span">high stain resistance coupled with added durability</span>.</span><br /><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;">The initial cost of a stainless steel countertop is comparable with other high-end counters, but with the benefit of added value and longevity.
