The right workspace matters. In a commercial kitchen set up, the space you work on can support your culinary skills or be an obstacle to your art. The right flat workbench ensures that you get a suitable area to deliver your best. If you have decided to buy a stainless steel bench, you are already half way there. There are a few more things to consider and only then are you ready to buy the most useful piece of equipment for your commercial kitchen.
So, before making your final pick from a flat stainless steel workbench supplier near you, have a look at these points.
Mobility
The workbench can be fixed or mobile. The fixed top variety are often installed to your wall. They can be more prominent in size and may run even the whole length of a wall depending on your requirements. On the downside, these are stationary, which means you cannot move them quickly. So, in future, if you plan to re-adjust the space for a new appliance, you will need to call a professional for help.
The mobile ones, on the other hand, can be easily moved around the kitchen space as per need without any hassle. Castors under your kitchen counter makes it much more versatile. The mobile tables with fixed legs are best suited for most kitchen needs, but at times the mobile variety would be a better choice depending on your circumstances.
Dimension
A longer bench might look like a great option but keep in mind a longer top will limit your flexibility to rearrange the kitchen. Instead, if you need ample space, opting for more than one comparatively shorter bench tops that fit perfectly with each other without leaving any gap in between, will provide the same functionality along with the flexibility to arrange the equipment as per needs.
Storage options
The table can come with or without an underneath shelving. The ones with undershelves provide a suitable space for storing anything off the floor. You can use this space for storing utensils or even for bags of supplies as per your need. However, as the gap between the under shelf and the floor is less, it might be a little challenging to clean the space underneath. On the other hand, if you are opting for an under shelf free version, with leg bracing, you will lose on valuable, off the floor storage space, but you might be able to put an under bench dishwasher or refrigerator underneath it.
Splashback
Steel benches with splash back can be a good option, particularly if you are planning to place it beside a wall or in the corner. The splashback saves the wall from accumulating food particles and grease. This also makes cleaning and maintenance easier. Flat tables with splash backs are generally required by councils for all benching that is against the wall. Centre benches do not generally require splash backs, as they would block off one side of the work area.
