Typically, when we think stainless steel we think of our kitchen
sinks or a high-dollar chef's knife. However, stainless steel is a
highly versatile and strong material with a wide variety of
applications.
Stainless steel is a steel alloy, classified as having a minimum of
10.5% chromium in its makeup. This specialized steel does not readily
rust, corrode, or stain like regular steel would. Stainless steel's
inherent resistance to corrosion and staining make it a popular material
for use in tableware, surgical instruments, household hardware, sink
basins, and appliances. Tanks used to carry orange juice and other
similarly acidic substances are often made with stainless steel because
of its resistance to corrosion. It's also an excellent material to use
in jewelry because it will not react with the body and corrode or turn
black.
It's these properties that make stainless steel an ideal material for
support beams, railing, trim, and corner guards in facilities. Plastics
and rubbers can warp in the heat or otherwise react to various
chemicals and materials because of their volatile make up. However,
stainless steel is relatively inert and would be a much safer option in
facilities which manufacture chemicals or other hazardous materials.
Stainless steel is durable and strong; you'll never have to worry about
its ability to withstand rough treatment. Plus, caring for your
stainless steel corner guards is a breeze. Simply wipe with some warm
water and gentle detergent and your corner guards will regain that
luster stainless steel is so well known for.
As you can see, stainless steel has a lot of benefits to offer your
facility as corner guards and more. If you would like more information,

Three Reasons To Install Stainless Steel Corner Guards In Your Restaurant
Your restaurant provides meals for hundreds, if not thousands,
of people every week. There is always something happening in the front
of the house and in the kitchen. Over time, all that action starts to
show on the building, both inside and out. No place is this more evident
than on the corners of walls in the kitchen and serving areas. This is
where all the work gets done, so, it makes sense that it shows the most
wear. But, the truth is, you don't have to live with it. In fact, here
are three reasons to install stainless steel corner guards in your restaurant kitchen.
Minimizes Damage
Take a look around your kitchen and pay close attention to the corners at the entrances and around work areas. It's clear that the cooks bump into them with pots and pants, carts and equipment quite often. You can also see that the servers and those that bus the tables clip them on the way past with trays and bus tubs. Chances are they are nicked, scratched and damaged which allows moisture to get beneath the paint, causing serious problems. With stainless steel corner guards installed, no matter how many times they are bumped or banged, the corners stay in good condition.
Food Safe Surface
Corner guards made with 304-grade stainless steel cannot be damaged by food acids, dyes or fats. In fact, this grade of stainless steel is used in many kitchen appliances, pots and pans, utensils and equipment. In other words, it is completely safe to use in and around food preparation areas. What's more, the stainless steel does not emit any dangerous chemicals or odors, making it a very safe choice. In addition, this grade of stainless steel is immune to the effects of sterilization solutions and other cleaners which means it will last longer than other types of materials.
Ease Of Cleaning
Cleanliness isn't just a good idea in a restaurant, it's an absolute requirement. Bacteria and nasty germs can accumulate on kitchen surfaces and cause a myriad of diseases and illnesses. Stainless steel corner guards are impervious to most everything, but that doesn't mean they do not need a good cleaning. In fact, they should be cleaned at a minimum of once per day as well as any time they are soiled. The benefit of using stainless steel is that a quick wipe down with an antibacterial or stainless-specific cleaner and a soft cloth is all it takes to get them clean.
