Stainless steel countertops are widely used in both residential and commercial kitchens due to their durability, hygiene, and modern aesthetic. Here are the key properties that define stainless steel countertops:

• Highly resistant to heat: Can withstand hot pots and pans without damage.

• Scratch-resistant: Though they can scratch, the metal holds up well under heavy use.

• Impact-resistant: Withstands drops and bangs better than many other surfaces.

• Non-porous: Does not absorb liquids or bacteria, making it easy to clean and ideal for food preparation.

• Easy to sanitize: Can be cleaned with simple solutions (e.g., soap and water or diluted bleach).
