Our commercial stainless steel table tops are fabricated in 304 DP1 brushed stainless steel, 1.2 mm thick, with a robust boxed-edge construction. Each corner is carefully TIG-welded for a seamless appearance and long-lasting durability.

You can also see how stainless steel is used across full installations in our stainless steel kitchen design guide.

The 30 mm overall thickness is achieved using a 10 mm folded edge and a 25 mm MDF core, providing a lightweight yet rigid structure that can be securely screwed to a table base plate. With no visible perimeter fixings, the underside remains smooth and snag-free — ideal for hospitality and commercial environments where safety and hygiene are essential.

We manufacture these table tops to any bespoke size from 300 mm × 300 mm up to 2900 mm × 1400 mm. This design offers an excellent balance of strength, practicality, and value, making it a cost-effective choice for cafes, restaurants, and workspace furniture.

In these images, you can see both the top surface and the underside construction of our boxed-edge stainless steel table tops, showing the welded corners, smooth snag-free finish, and the MDF core that provides secure fixing for table bases.

Choose from a variety of stainless steel finishes to achieve the look and performance your project requires. Our range includes smooth, polished, and textured surfaces — ideal for table tops, worktops, wall panels, and decorative applications.

Popular options include Satin Brushed, 5WL and 6WL embossed finishes, Distressed Mirror for a vintage appearance, and Squares for a contemporary geometric texture. Each finish is produced to high standards in 304 or 316 stainless steel and can be fabricated to your required size and speciFfication.

We use top-grade stainless steel sheet metal sourced from reliable European suppliers, ensuring a consistently smooth finish, excellent corrosion resistance and superior formability. These properties make our table tops particularly well suited to the high standards required in hospitality, catering and other demanding environments.

• Stainless Steel Finishes: From Brushed Texture to Polished Shine
  Once fabricated, every stainless table top is meticulously finished in our specialist workshop, where welded or folded sections are expertly blended for a smooth, unified appearance. A variety of finishing options is available to suit both practical applications and design-focused spaces, allowing you to achieve a look that complements your environment.

Finishing options:

• Brushed (satin): Smooth and matte, this finish resists fingerprints and light marks – ideal for busy commercial or home use.
• Bright polish: A high-gloss, mirror-like surface that adds a modern touch, suited to bars, receptions, or displays.
• Textured or patterned: Decorative finishes that enhance visual appeal and help mask wear, perfect for high-traffic or design-led spaces.

Unlike softer metals, stainless steel retains its crisp, contemporary character over time, requiring minimal upkeep and maintaining its finish for years to come. It’s a practical yet refined option for those who value clean lines, durability, and hygiene.

Renowned for its strength and low-maintenance nature, stainless steel is an excellent choice for both domestic and commercial table tops. With just a few easy habits, you can keep the surface in excellent condition for years.

Everyday cleaning:
Use a soft microfibre cloth with warm water and a mild detergent to clean daily marks like grease or fingerprints.

Removing marks
For more persistent stains or water spots, apply a stainless steel cleaner or a mix of vinegar and water using a clean cloth. Rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a lint-free cloth to avoid residue.

What to avoid:
Avoid abrasive tools such as scouring pads or steel wool, as these can scratch the finish. Chlorine-based cleaners should also be avoided, as they may degrade the steel over time.

Surface care tips:
While stainless steel handles heat and corrosion well, placing mats or coasters under hot pans or heavy items helps prevent discolouration or dents. Regular drying will also help maintain its natural shine and prevent water spots.

With routine care, your stainless steel table top will stay hygienic, hard-wearing, and visually refined for everyday use.:
