Sheet metal fabricators create products for almost every industry, including restaurants and retail. Gieske has been known to make many different pieces for our community’s restaurants and retail shops, both for use and decoration. If you want to incorporate a new piece into your business, remember that sheet metal can be used in multiple different mediums, including in your kitchens and retail spaces.
In the Kitchen
Did you know that most of the equipment in a commercial kitchen is made from stainless steel? Stainless steel is used in almost all of the tools, counters, freezers, and food preparation equipment. It’s also used in ice machine surrounds, funnels, fryer dividers, kitchen countertops, stove hoods, and so much more. Utensils are even stainless steel.
Stainless steel is prominently used because it is generally a safer and hygienic metal. Additionally, stainless steel will not burn, rust, or stain, ensuring that it is durable throughout any kitchen situation. It is a long-lasting metal that is easier to clean and maintain compared to other options.
Specialty Designs
When it comes to areas where customers frequent, metal fabrication can be used to create specialty designs and pieces that help with efficiency and ADA compliance. This could be pieces such as railings, dividers, shelving units, and even signage.
At Gieske, we have created many projects for businesses and retail shops to help them create a safer and more efficient environment. For many of these pieces, stainless steel is once again used as it is less likely to corrode or deteriorate over time and can withstand people using it daily. Additionally, when creating something like a railing that will be touched by many, it is important to choose a metal that can be properly cleaned and maintained for the health of the customers – like stainless steel.
Decorative Pieces
Statement pieces are one last creative use for metal fabrication. Gieske has been a part of creating some beautiful sculptures and decorative pieces for restaurants, retailers, and businesses around the community. Different types of metal can bring different looks and effects depending on what style you are looking to display in your organization.
Stainless steel and brass are often chosen for their durability and resilience against weather and constant interaction. So, next time you have a large piece you would like to add to your business’s exterior look or interior design, don’t write off the amazing capabilities of metal.
Metals such as stainless steel are often used in the food and retail industries because of their multiple benefits and capabilities. If you have a metal vision, contact the team at Gieske to make it a reality today.
