• Besides being a beautiful addition to your
  kitchen, the stainless steel countertop is stain
  resistant, heat proof and very hygienic. The
  stainless countertop is made of sixteen gauge
  type 304 steel and has an edge that will keep
  liquids from running onto the floor. A stainless
  steel kitchen will always maintain its style and
  is the preferred material for kitchen countertops
  by professional cooks and any cook that takes the
  task of cooking with a serous outlook.

• Because of its strength, steel has always been
  considered ideal for food preparation. Kitchen
  designers today are adding warm wood hues and
  painted tiles in combination with steel.
  Stainless steel countertops are made away from
  their installation site from a template and
  mounted to plywood.

• They are then reinforced with soundproof coating.
  Various lengths of the countertops can be built
  from just one sheet of metal, without seams.
  However, the longest sheet of metal is generally
  available in ten feet lengths. If the countertop
  needs to be seamed, the seam is made in the
  center of the sink area. A hairline seam can be
  sealed with silicone under the joint before the
  countertop is installed. When the countertop is
  welded and finished the seam will be invisible.

• The reflective quality of the stainless steel
  countertop adds to its beauty by reflecting both
  natural and artificial light and drawing together
  the colors of the kitchen's décor. Although the
  stainless steel countertop is strong it is
  subject to scratches. It is recommended that when
  cutting or chopping a cutting board is used.

• Stainless steel countertop maintenance is easy.
  All you need is detergent and water to clean it.
  You do have to avoid spilling some things like
  ketchup, salad dressing and other vinegary items
  on the countertop as they will leave a white
  mark. You can remove this white stain with a very
  soft scotchbrite pad.

• A study was made by the Hospitality Institute of
  Technology and Management regarding sanitation
  using six different countertop materials. The
  countertops were contaminated with E-coli and
  then washed with detergent and water. The
  stainless steel countertop eliminated the largest
  percent of E-coli cleaned from its surface.
