Novameta stainless steel table top 1400 mm work surface

A stainless steel table top creates a hygienic, hard-wearing work surface that withstands daily scrubbing and resists corrosion from food acids and cleaning chemicals. The flat sheet of metal spreads the load evenly, so heavy pots and chopping blocks sit level without sagging. Stainless steel does not absorb odours or bacteria, and its smooth finish lets spills run off rather than soak in, making it the standard material for professional kitchen counters.

The operator places the table top on a supporting frame or existing cupboard unit, then loads it with ingredients, utensils or appliances. The 1400 mm length gives a continuous run for food preparation, plating or assembly lines. A solid sheet without seams or joints simplifies cleaning and prevents debris collecting in gaps.

Construction is a single sheet of stainless steel, cold-rolled to the specified thickness. The edges are turned down to form a rim that stiffens the panel and protects the supporting structure from moisture. No welds or fasteners are visible on the work surface, so there are no crevices where dirt can lodge.

The table top measures 1400 mm long, 600 mm wide and 40 mm high. This footprint fits standard kitchen modules and leaves room for under-counter storage or appliances. The weight of the steel sheet means the unit must be lifted by two people or a trolley, and the frame beneath must be strong enough to carry the load without flexing.

Cleaning is done with a damp cloth and mild detergent; abrasive pads are avoided to prevent scratching the surface. The turned-down rim is wiped dry after cleaning to stop water pooling and causing corrosion. If the table top is fitted with optional cut-outs, sinks or shelves, these are cleaned in the same way, paying attention to the joints where the fitting meets the steel.

Novameta manufactures custom versions of this table top to order. Customers can specify cut-outs for sinks, taps or hobs, curved edges, drainage channels, integrated shelves or mobile carts. Each design is made from the same stainless steel sheet and finished to the same hygiene standards.
