Durability, easy maintenance and hygienic—these are the three chief reasons behind the huge popularity of the commercial grade stainless steel benches.
A highly durable product, one can use these workbenches in extremely heavy wearing work environments and they will still retain intact their visual appeal and will not get damaged too easily. As for durability, there is hardly any match for steel benches. Unless you do something drastically inappropriate, it will be difficult to make dents, dings, cracks, or chips over the surface. Add to that an optional buffing service every two years, and your workbench will look as good as new for years to come.
Another principal reason why the food industry prefers the stainless steel bench so is that that they are extremely hygienic. The stainless steel surface is a non-porous one, which means you can easily clean away the bacteria and other pathogens. Also since there are no gaps or joins where bacteria or other harmful microorganisms can build up, the steel workbench make for a bacteria-free and easy-to-clean surface.
