Durability - stainless steel is a hard surface material that will not chip, is corrosion resistant, and
resists impacts.
Sleek looking
Easily cleaned - stainless steel is one of the most hygienic surfaces for food preparation and very
easy to clean, using mild soap and water. There are no cracks or pores to collect dirt or bacteria and
it does not require any special maintenance. Stainless steel has a self-generating protective coating
and will not impart tastes to food.

Most of these benefits are also true for copper countertops, although copper is a softer material and does not resist dents as well as stainless steel does. Copper has a uniquely exclusive benefit, as it has natural antimicrobial properties. Left natural, copper is considered a "living material" and creates a beautiful aesthetic.

Stainless steel and copper countertops are often only a portion of an entire countertop project. As with other surface materials, stainless steel and copper countertops can be used in specific areas such as food prep, landing areas or central islands, and complimented with other surface materials to finish the overall project design.
