Stainless Steel Benches

Buying guide: stainless steel benches for commercial kitchens

Stainless steel benches form the backbone of many commercial kitchens, dishwash areas and storage zones. They create a durable, hygienic work surface that can handle constant use, heavy equipment and frequent cleaning. This range covers infill benches, corner benches, dishwasher inlet & outlet benches and enclosed work cabinets, helping you build a complete stainless steel line-up for your workspace.

Types of stainless steel benches we supply

Each bench style is designed for a specific station in your kitchen layout:

Infill work benches

Infill benches are used to fill gaps between appliances, sinks and dishwashers, creating a continuous stainless surface. They help eliminate dead space, making your cookline or dishwash area easier to clean and more efficient.

Corner benches

Corner benches make use of otherwise wasted corner space. They are ideal for wrapping bench runs around walls, turning tight corners into functional prep or storage zones.

Dishwasher inlet & outlet benches

Dishwasher inlet and outlet benches are designed to sit either side of a commercial dishwasher. Inlet benches give you space for scraping and loading, while outlet benches provide room for clean ware to air-dry and be stacked safely.

Work cabinets & storage benches

Stainless steel work cabinets combine a bench top with enclosed storage underneath. They are ideal where you need secure, dust-free storage for small equipment, chemicals or dry goods while still keeping a stainless work surface above.

Planning your stainless steel bench line-up

When designing a stainless bench run, consider how food, equipment and staff will move through the kitchen:

• Workflow: Position inlet benches before dishwashers, outlet benches after, and use infill benches to link equipment.
• Corner utilisation: Use corner benches to wrap benching around walls and maximise every metre of space.
• Depth & length: Match bench depth (typically 600mm or 700mm) to surrounding equipment and allow enough length for safe handling.
• Storage needs: Choose open undershelves for easy access, or enclosed cabinets where items need to be kept out of sight.

Frequently asked questions

Are these benches suitable for dishwash and wet areas?

Yes. Our stainless steel benches are designed for commercial kitchens and dishwash zones, with durable welds, reinforced tops and easy-to-clean surfaces. For the best results, ensure benches are installed level with adequate drainage.

Do the benches come with undershelves or cabinets?

Many models include undershelves or are supplied as enclosed work cabinets. Check each product listing for details on shelves, doors and storage configuration.

Are the benches height adjustable?

Most benches are fitted with adjustable feet so you can level them on uneven floors. This helps keep water from pooling and ensures smooth integration with dishwashers and adjacent equipment.

Do the benches arrive assembled or flat-packed?

To keep freight costs down and make access into tight sites easier, benches are typically supplied flat-packed. Assembly is straightforward with hardware and instructions included.
