Common Mistakes & How to Avoid Them

❌ Mistake✅ Correct Approach
Using standard carbon steel fasteners, which can lead to galvanic corrosion and rust streaks.Always use 304 or 316 stainless steel fasteners to maintain the corrosion resistance of the installation.
Improper cutting techniques that create burrs or damage the protective oxide layer.Employ sharp, high-quality cutting tools and deburr edges thoroughly after cutting to ensure a smooth, safe finish and preserve material integrity.

Common Applications

  • Countertops and work surfaces in commercial kitchens and laboratories
  • Splashbacks and wall cladding in wet areas (e.g., shower rooms, wash stations)
  • Fabrication of custom drains, grates, and containment trays

⚠️ Engineering Warnings

  • Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) such as safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection when cutting or handling the material.
  • Avoid contact with strong acids or chlorides, which can degrade stainless steel under certain conditions.
