If you are considering a kitchen renovation, one thing you likely are considering is how to maintain the appeal of the kitchen while keeping maintenance to a low level. This is usually the concern of a busy family with a lot of traffic that comes through a residential kitchen. One thing to consider is the option of going with a complete industrial stainless steel kitchen. Here are some benefits of this you may not have considered before that would work with your current decor and family goals.

Eco-Friendly Cleaning Options

Many homeowners are trying to move away from chemical based cleaning and to a green living option. Stainless steel can give you this option. It is fairly easily to clean and can be done with a simple castile soap and water dilution or with vinegar and water. You will also need to shine the stainless steel on occasion. This can be done with eco-friendly products as well. You may find that a simple wipe down of the stainless steel surfaces is enough to maintain it through the week, with a deep clean and shine once a week. This gives you time back with your family instead of spending it on special cleaning options that would be required with other materials.

Expanded Decor Options

A benefit that many homeowners find with using industrial stainless steel is in the decor options. With traditional materials like wood or acrylic, you may have to change the surface paint, stain, or colour in order to change the decor. Stainless steel offers a neutral option that is easy to change the look around and can go with nearly any design option. It is also easy to match with items, since stainless steel appliances and accessories are fairly common in home improvement and home decor stores.

Durability

One of the aspects of a busy kitchen that can take time away from your life are repairs. They impact your budget as well as the time it would take to replace and repair cabinets, surfaces, and counter tops. Stainless steel has a high durability rating that can reduce repairs you may have with traditional kitchen material options. For example, they are resistant to staining as well as chemical burning and melting. This reduces the chances of damage from basic kitchen tasks and accidents greatly and leaves you with reduced chances of losing time and money on repairs.

If you think that industrial stainless steel options may be ideal for your kitchen, contact a stainless steel fabricator or contractor. They can help with options and pricing. Some of the options may have the capability of being a DIY project while others will need professional installation. You may also want to consider a contractor consultation to determine what options you like versus what options will work in the space you have.
