Before you call

Stainless steel fabrication: the short version

Cutting, bending and welding stainless steel into counters, tables, equipment and parts.

When you need it

  • Commercial kitchen counters and tables
  • Food and brewing equipment
  • Railings and trim near salt or water
  • Parts that must not rust

What to send the shop

  • Dimensions and a layout sketch
  • Sinks, equipment and backsplash details
  • Grade: 304, or 316 for salt and chlorides
  • Finish: brushed or mirror
  • Quantity and the date you need it

Typical lead time

2 to 4 weeks is standard at one Canadian stainless fabricator.

Prices

What it costs

Each figure links to where it was posted. Your quote depends on the job.

Ask the shop

3 questions worth asking

  1. Q1

    304 or 316 for what I'm using it for?

  2. Q2

    Does the price include sinks, backsplash and install?

  3. Q3

    Brushed or mirror finish, and is it the same on welds?

Questions

Stainless steel fabrication FAQ

304 or 316?

304 is the standard. 316 adds 2 to 3% molybdenum and suits salt and chloride-heavy places. One flat bar cost about 27% more in 316.

Is it food safe?

Ask for the shop's spec in writing. One fabricator builds to NSF-equivalent specs, which is not the same as NSF certification.

What does a stainless counter cost?

One Ontario maker lists custom commercial stainless counters at $9,000 to $12,000, before delivery and install.

How long does it take?

2 to 4 weeks is standard at one Canadian stainless fabricator.

Good to know

  • For a commercial kitchen, check grade and finish rules with your inspector.
  • Ask whether weld cleanup and finishing are in the price.
  • Prices here are posted by shops. Your quote will differ.
