GP | Stainless furniture - advantages and disadvantages of use
Stainless steel furniture has advantages and disadvantages. We will take a closer look at both, of course with regard to the catering industry. Let's start with the disadvantages of this furniture.

The biggest disadvantage of stainless steel furniture is, of course, its price. Stainless steel is up to 10 times more expensive than black steel, although it does not require painting, its processing is much more expensive. Therefore, a table, countertop, cabinet, trolley or any other gastronomic furniture made of stainless steel can be 10 times more expensive.

Another disadvantage of stainless steel furniture is that it is extremely "raw" furniture. Painting is not used in them. Yes, polished or honed stainless steel looks great, but you still can't give it a certain style that you can add to other pieces of furniture.

Certainly, stainless steel furniture is extremely susceptible to damage and scratches. On stainless steel you can see all the deformations, scratches and scratches, which make the furniture look worse after some time, which, however, in the case of their "industrial", including gastronomic use, is not so important.

Let's move on to the advantages, because there are definitely more of them. Cost aside, stainless steel is an extremely clean material. Moreover, stainless steel has properties that make it a very hygienic material. Keeping stainless furniture clean is much easier.

Stainless steel furniture is extremely durable in terms of mechanical properties. Apart from scratches, dents or scratches, they last much longer, without painting or maintenance, it is enough to simply wash them. Another important advantage is corrosion resistance. Stainless steel furniture can be washed with running water, it can be cleaned with chemicals, rinsed freely and treated with various substances. They will still look the same after washing, and their surface will be perfectly clean.

 

Stainless steel furniture, although more expensive, is the best choice in professional gastronomy. It is a guarantee of cleanliness, hygiene and sterility, which is very important nowadays.
