Kitchen Cabinets: How about Stainless Steel?

There is absolutely no doubt about the fact that if one decides to renovate their kitchen, or buy a new one, or just make one from the very scratch - kitchen cabinets play a great role. In addition to thinking of giving a proper framework and a place for every appliance, choosing kitchen cabinets happens to be an important task, as one contemplates to give a thought to their kitchen. The cabinets, especially their surfacing is important, for it is responsible in reflecting the overall look of the kitchen; plus, it also works as an important factor in determining how durable the cabinets would turn out to be.

Also, we’re in a time when the creative energies of designers are on a rise, and we’re all simply spoilt for choices! And it’s not just because people are creating such a variety of things - but also, because they’re all creating different patterns and designs, from a variety of materials.

The ones that we’re interested to talk about today, is metal - specifically, stainless steel.

Available in every kind of budget, the flexibility of stainless steel does not only show in the way it is used but also who uses it, depending on the money one intends to spend. This durable and extremely strong material is one of the favorites amongst the modular kitchens Ernakulam, Ahmedabad, and other major cities across the country.

Especially, if one finds it too expensive, they can use it as doors for their wooden cabinets. People use it a lot with glass, and this eclectic material does not disappoint in helping lighten the look of the space. One can find steel available in various finishes, that is patterned, etched, and brushed. But, most people do prefer using just plain steel. They find it more sophisticated, and more chic.

What else is good about this material?

As every metal does, steel too, without being an exception, boasts of a very unique look. You will always find treated metal to be stain as well as rust resistant, in addition to showing a lot of sturdiness. Again, steel is no different here. This material is not affected by humidity and heat, in the least! You don’t have to work too hard to maintain a clean stainless steel kitchen, because the surfaces will be extremely easy to clean; you won’t have to worry about usine spices in your food that could turn themselves into grime on a steel surface, and so on. Steel is hence, a really good option if you’re looking to happily cook in your kitchen, while being carefree!

What should one be warned about, while using steel?

Colors. The problem is that you won’t find steel in a wide range of colors! If you’re all right with the classy look that steel in its plain form presents, or maybe even with a different finish, then you’re good to go. If not, then stell might not be the right choice for you. The thing about steel that charms one’s socks off, is the shiny surface it has. But, having it for many years tells you how the rust or oxidation takes over after a while. Then comes the problem that almost every metal has - fingerprints and oil smudges showing, too clearly for one’s taste. The stainless steel sheets are also prone to scratching and denting under pressure. And of course, you shouldn’t forget, that metal, especially this one, is bound to make noise, when you open the cabinet drawers or doors.

So, tell us - do you think modular kitchens in Kochi and other places are doing the right thing by choosing this awesome metal over many other enticing choices, such as wood or PVC? Or do you think people who are pro steel, should give it another thought? Enlighten us with your amazing views!
