Commercial kitchen countertops have to be durable and reliable because no other surface suffers more damage than those. Those are used from sunrise to midnight by chefs with knives, mallets, acidic liquids, and other chemicals. Commercial kitchen countertops must be made with the strength to withstand all of these conditions on a more-than-regular basis.

THREE THINGS YOU NEED YOUR COMMERCIAL KITCHEN TO BE

Chances are you will need your countertop to be washable, durable, and, of course, legal. Yes, legal, because if you are operating as a restaurant business, it is your job to find the definite legal obligations and follow them, whether these obligations come from the state level or from a governing body.

A SURFACE THAT’S CLEANABLE
A commercial countertop must be a material that can withstand harsh and strong chemicals. Most stone countertops can be cleaned using normal cleaning methods but materials like marbles are not recommended because marble is a soft stone.

A SURFACE THAT’S DURABLE
You need your commercial kitchen to be durable if you want a countertop material that can withstand constant use. Actions like chopping, cooking with hot ingredients, and handling heavy cookware will require surfaces along the lines of stainless steel.

THINK OF PLACEMENTS
A countertop that will be used in the kitchen but away from the cooking, to add the final touches on a nearly complete dish, will probably allow you more opportunities in terms of material, finish, and design.
