What to Consider When Buying a Stainless Steel Splashback Bench

Depending on what you need your bench for and where you plan to put it, you may wish to consider the following factors before you buy:

Steel Gauge

It's advised that you always check the gauge of the steel before buying a stainless steel splashback bench. A thicker gauge provides enhanced resistance to abrasion, impact, and wear, making it suitable for heavy-duty and high-volume use.

Bench Size

The dimensions of your stainless steel workbench, including its depth and length, dictate the available work surface area. Before ordering, measure the product's dimensions against your floor space and layout to ensure the bench fits well and meets your needs. Stainless Express offers options in the following bench sizes; 900mm, 1200mm, 1500mm, and 1800mm.

Adjustable Feet

Benches with adjustable feet allow you to level the bench accurately, preventing wobbling and enhancing safety. This feature also helps in maintaining proper alignment and optimising the use of space, making the workspace more efficient and user-friendly.
