Stainless steel items are fabricated much the same way as are solid surface materials. Stainless steel sheets are formed with the use of a brake, welded and polished.

The typical stainless steel sheet used for counters is heavy-duty 16ga thickness with high nickel content, type 304 stainless steel, with a 4B polished finish. Most items can be built from a single sheet of metal, requiring no seams. Layouts of any length or configuration (including kitchen islands) may be produced. However, the longest sheet of stainless steel material available is 10 feet long, but with the down bends, items can be fabricated up to 9' 6” without seams. Items longer than 9' 6” will be fabricated with seams, however as a general rule seams are made in the area where there is the least amount of weld, re: in sink areas. All welds are ground and polished to blend in.
