Why this stainless steel worktop earns its place
This is the worktop for kitchens that need breathing room. At 2700 mm wide and 800 mm deep, it gives you two full people working side by side, or one person with space to lay out mis en place without moving things around. The 40 mm height sits comfortably at most pass levels, and the 0.8 mm stainless steel 430 plate is reinforced with waterproof melamine wood underneath—the same rigidity principle as smaller Combisteel surfaces, just scaled up to handle heavier traffic and higher through-put.
The load isn't casual. Fifty-six kilograms of material engineered to stay flat under sustained weight, chopping impacts, and the small movements that happen during a busy service. The 430 stainless doesn't work-harden or get brittle—it bends slightly under shock, then springs back. Welded corners seal out the bacteria traps that plague gapped work surfaces.
At this size, you're looking at a centrepiece surface—the kind you'd anchor to your main prep counter frame. The melamine wood core stops any sag across the long span; the steel plate handles knife work, spilt acid, salt, and the daily scrub. It's an investment that works for years in a properly maintained kitchen.
