A well planned commercial kitchen always starts with the right neutral stainless steel equipment. These are the backbone of your workspace. They improve hygiene, efficiency, organization, and safety. At Al Khalaf Stainless Steel, we fabricate high quality equipment using SS 304. Our finishing options include No. 4 or hairline to match modern kitchen aesthetics.

Below is a guide to the five most essential neutral items every professional kitchen should have.

1. Work Tables

A sturdy stainless steel work table is the heart of any food preparation area. SS 304 with a No. 4 or hairline finish offers excellent durability and easy cleaning.

Design features to look for:
• Top shelf thickness from 1 mm to 1.5 mm depending on usage
• Undershelves made from 0.7 mm or 0.8 mm sheet
• Bottom shelf or midshelf for extra storage
• Square tube legs 40*40 mm or 1.5 inch round pipe
• Adjustable footings to compensate for uneven flooring
• Underneath support channels that strengthen the tabletop
• Smooth multi bent edges to eliminate sharp corners
• Optional backsplash for wall side tables
• Standard height 900 mm

A 1500*700*900 mm work table with a bottom shelf is one of the most essential pieces in any kitchen and we keep this model in stock.

2. Sinks

Washing stations must be durable, hygienic, and sized correctly for the kitchen’s workflow. Our sinks are made from SS 304 with 1 mm, 1.2 mm, or 1.5 mm tops.

Common bowl sizes:
• 500*500*300 mm
• 400*400*300 mm

Standard restaurant sink options:
• Single bowl sink 700*700*900 mm with a 500*500*300 mm bowl
• Single bowl with work area 1200700900 mm
• Double bowl sink 1200*700*900 mm
• Triple bowl sink 1800*700*900 mm

All wall side sinks require a backsplash to maintain hygiene and prevent spills.

3. Wall Shelves

Wall shelves maximize vertical storage and help keep preparation surfaces clear.

Types of wall shelves:
• Medium duty sheet type
• Heavy duty tube supported type

Shelves can be seamless for dry storage or perforated for drainage. Widths typically range from 350 to 400 mm. Above sinks, we recommend a slotted wall shelf matching the sink length so washed utensils can drip back into the bowl.

4. Racks

A multi level rack is essential for heavy duty storage. Stainless steel racks outperform market wire shelves in strength and longevity.

Key details:
• Available in 3 or 4 layers
• Fully welded or adjustable versions
• Seamless or perforated shelves
• Sheet thickness 1 mm or 1.2 mm

Our standard recommendation is a 4 layer rack sized 1200*460*1800 mm.

5. Cabinets

Base and wall cabinets keep supplies organized and protected. These can be made with hinged or sliding doors depending on space and preference.

Specifications:
• Top shelf 1 mm or 1.2 mm
• Body 1 mm
• Undershelves 0.8 mm
• Double layered doors with insulation for noise reduction
• Built in or external handles
• Magnetic stopper for hinged doors

Recommended dimensions include a base cabinet 1000*700*900 mm and a wall cabinet with 350 mm depth and 700 mm height.
