Custom-Cut Stainless Steel Sheets & Plates

Why choose a stainless steel plate?

Stainless steel, often referred to as inox, is an alloy of iron, carbon, and chromium that offers exceptional corrosion resistance and high durability. Thanks to its composition, it possesses great tensile strength and excellent ductility, making it the ideal choice for applications requiring precise, custom-cut dimensions.

Whether in construction, the food industry, or interior design, stainless steel is prized for its aesthetic appeal and ease of maintenance. It provides elegant and robust finishes for bespoke projects, withstanding the most demanding environments without requiring additional treatments to prevent rust.

What are the common uses for stainless steel sheet metal?

In the culinary and catering world, stainless steel is the material of choice. It offers impeccable hygiene, making it ideal for a custom stainless steel splashback. In construction and architecture, stainless steel is everywhere. It is used in building structures, facades, staircases, and balustrades. Furthermore, in the medical industry, stainless steel is essential for surgical instruments, hospital furniture, and medical equipment.

For interior design, stainless steel adds a modern touch to furniture, bathrooms, and decorative accessories. Finally, it is perfectly suited for a BBQ griddle or plancha due to its hygienic properties and efficient heat distribution.

Which stainless steel is food-grade certified?

Food-grade certified stainless steel primarily includes Type 304L (also known as 18/8 or 18/10) and Type 316L (also known as 18/10/2). These two grades are recognized as being fully compliant with current food safety standards.

Here is a detailed look at these stainless steel grades:

304L Stainless Steel

1. Composition: Approximately 18% chromium and between 8% and 10% nickel.

2. Common Applications: Kitchen utensils, worktops, sinks, tanks, food containers, and professional catering equipment.

3. Properties: Excellent corrosion resistance. Easy to clean and highly hygienic. Relatively affordable.

316L Stainless Steel

1. Composition: Approximately 18% chromium, 10% nickel, and 2% molybdenum.

2. Common Applications: More aggressive or sensitive environments such as food processing, pharmaceutical, chemical, and marine industries.

3. Properties: Enhanced corrosion resistance, even in the presence of chlorides (salt) and acids. Suitable for humid, saline, or highly corrosive environments. More expensive than 304L, but necessary for specific harsh conditions.
