Benefits of Stainless Steel
Top-tier commercial-grade stainless steel countertops and tables.
Specialty Solution's Stainless Steel Countertop and Table Design
Our aim is to deliver long-lasting, high-quality stainless steel countertops and tables that serve your facilities for years. Standard models are crafted from 16-gauge steel, featuring a 304, #4 brushed finish. Custom modifications can also be accommodated upon request.
1) TIG Welding
With over 80 years of combined experience in TIG welding, we bring an unparalleled level of craftsmanship to stainless steel countertops and tables. TIG welding, also known as tungsten inert gas or gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), is a meticulous process. It employs a non-consumable tungsten electrode and filler metal to create a clean, stable arc, resulting in welds that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Precision in heating calculations and weld speed is crucial, especially given that stainless steel is a sensitive material. Our aim is to produce fully penetrated, visually appealing final products. To ensure we meet industry standards, each stainless steel weld undergoes a thorough inspection by our quality team.

3) Backsplashes
A backsplash or rear curb help contain the surrounding elements from water and chemical spills or daily use of operations. Options for backsplashes include rear, left hand, right hand, or a combination of any configuration. Usually, the construction walls of the facility predetermine which sides of the countertop require this splash, if needed for vertical protection. Typical height is set at 4”H but custom modifications are available if 6”, 8” or larger if needed.
4) Stainless Steel Sink
Stainless steel sinks are essential components in commercial kitchens and labs, playing a significant role in daily operations for kitchen and lab personnel. Crafted from 14-gauge stainless steel, these sinks are seamlessly integrated into the countertop through precision welding and polishing, ensuring both quality penetration and a professional finish.
Stainless steel countertops and sinks are the go-to choice for commercial kitchens and labs due to their durability, easy maintenance, and aesthetic appeal. Ideal for high-demand settings, stainless steel countertops offer corrosion resistance and hygiene, making them perfect for both food preparation and lab work. Our sinks come in various shapes and sizes to complement different countertop configurations. Manufactured from premium-grade stainless steel, they promise lasting performance while being easy to clean—making them the optimal choice for fast-paced kitchens and labs.

5) Edge Profiles - Marine Edge/Bullnose
Stainless steel countertops are gaining popularity for projects due to their design versatility, high tensile strength, and low maintenance requirements. For both Straight and L-Shape countertops, we offer a standard square edge profile featuring a 1-inch square edge with a 1/2-inch return. Alternatively, you can opt for a square edge with a 45-degree angled return.
To further tailor your commercial space, our stainless steel countertops and tables also offer two additional edge profiles: marine edge and bullnose. Marine edge is designed to contain liquids or chemicals effectively, making it ideal for certain work environments. The bullnose option delivers a clean, streamlined look suitable for any commercial kitchen. With these customizable features, you can find the perfect stainless steel surface for your needs.

6) Under Stainless Steel Countertop Support
The stainless steel undercounter support options available are stainless steel hat channels or a plywood sub core which is available upon request. Hat channels are made of 304 stainless steel and are typically used if your facility, lab or kitchen has material requirements and specifications. This is the standard to be flexible for all situations. The hat channels enable that the cabinets or table legs have somewhere for the installer to screw into. Stainless steel self tapping screws will be sufficient for the install team. Plywood sub core is the other option, this is an additional cost but for some situations the correct choice! Either option, the sealing process makes for a closed off bottom surface. Both options provide strong support and ensure the countertop can be fastened properly for years to come.
7) Sound Deadening Compound
Sound deadening compound sprayed under stainless steel countertops is a great way to ensure a quieter and more pleasant working environment. The compound helps to absorb sound vibrations and echoes, making it easier to work without distraction. It also reduces the sound of clanging pots and pans, and helps to maintain a professional atmosphere. The compound is quick and easy to apply, and will last for years, ensuring your kitchen remains as quiet and efficient as possible. Sound deadening is applied to all standard countertops as our factory standard.
8) Material Options
Standard stainless steel countertops come with 304, #4 brushed finished. If fingerprints or smudges are a concern, choose a brushed finish for its smooth, soft look which more easily hides evidence of sticky fingers. This is applicable for most applications but with specialized countertop materials there are always exceptions. Material 316 on the other hand is used in many specialized medical and healthcare environments. This alloy type gives additional strength and durability because is includes up to 3% molybdenum. Some industries where this is common are outdoor stainless countertops/cabinet, medical devices, and marine environments.
Stainless Steel Countertops Cost
Custom steel countertops fall towards the higher end of the spectrum (around $140 to $235 per square foot ). Most homeowners end up spending an average of $750 per square foot , and prefab options are typically more affordable. Stainless Steel Countertops Cost Breakdown Size and material are the largest factors impacting the cost of your countertop installation. Steel countertops are on the pricier side compared to other materials like laminate. Many homeowners find the cost worth it, but it depends on your needs and preferences.
The cost is higher than other countertop materials, but the durability and longevity of stainless steel countertops make them an excellent investment. Steel countertops are easy to clean and maintain, and they do not require resealing like other materials. In addition, they have a long life span and do not chip, crack, or burn easily.
