Stainless Steel Wall Panels

Why use it in kitchens?

Stainless Steel Sheeting is one of the best materials for kitchens because it looks great, lasts a long time, and is super tough. It's perfect for both home and commercial kitchens. Unlike plastic, stainless steel doesn’t melt, stain, or change colour under heat, so it stays looking good even in busy kitchens with lots of cooking. Its ability to handle high temperatures without damage makes it especially useful under commercial kitchen ventilation hoods, where heat and grease can cause other materials to warp or discolour. Stainless steel not only resists heat damage but also keeps its polished and professional appearance, even with heavy use.

Stainless Steel Wall Panelling: Easy to Clean

Our stainless steel wall panels don’t just look nice—they’re built to handle the messes that happen in kitchens. They are great for areas where cleanliness matters most. Stainless steel’s non-porous surface means bacteria, mould, and mildew can’t penetrate, making it one of the most hygienic materials available. To keep your panels looking shiny and clean, wipe them down with a mix of white spirit and baby oil (50/50). This trick helps stop grease and dirt from sticking. When it needs cleaning, just repeat the process, and it’ll look as good as new. Plus, stainless steel resists stains, rust, and scratches, so it’s a long-term solution for a clean and modern kitchen.

Commercial Kitchen Wall Panels: Built for Professionals

Stainless steel wall sheets are a top choice for restaurants and other commercial food businesses. It’s strong, easy to clean, and meets high standards for hygiene and safety. Commercial kitchens need materials that can handle heavy-duty cleaning with chemicals and hot water, and stainless steel delivers. It doesn’t absorb odours or flavour's, making it ideal for food preparation areas. For professionals who prioritize cleanliness and efficiency, stainless steel cladding provides a worry-free solution that stays in top condition over time.

Installation Guide

Preparing the Surface:

1. Clean the Surface: Wash both the wall and the back of the stainless steel sheet with soap or a degreaser.
2. Sanding: Lightly sand the back of the sheet with fine sandpaper (500-700 grit) to help the glue stick better.
3. Measure Twice: Ensure accurate measurements to avoid cutting errors and alignment issues.

Best Adhesives to Use:

• Two-Part Epoxy: Very strong and lasts a long time. Needs 24 hours to fully dry.
• Polyurethane Adhesive (like Loctite PL Premium): Strong and flexible, good for areas where the temperature changes a lot.
• Silicone Adhesive: Slower to dry but stays flexible and works well if the sheet might move slightly.

Installation Tips:

• Spread the glue evenly to avoid bumps or gaps.
• Start at the bottom and work up to make sure it’s lined up properly.
• Press down firmly or use a roller to stick it in place.
• For big sheets, use clamps or supports to hold them until the glue dries.
• Seal edges with silicone to prevent moisture build-up behind the panels.
