Texture and taste

Stainless steel benchtops make an eye-catching feature in your kitchen and are relatively easy to keep clean. However, beyond their day-to-day advantages, they need to retain their good looks over time. One solution is to choose stainless steel surfaces that will withstand knocks and scratches.

Brightworks Stainless offers a range of textured stainless steel benchtops for dramatic, long-lasting impact in any kitchen, says director Dean Francis.

"A textured pattern adds durability to stainless steel, making these work surfaces impervious to knife scrapes and knocks," says Francis. "The textured options available include linen, chequer and canvas as well as the traditional satin surfaces."

These patterns can be combined with various edge treatments. Square, rolled bull nose, and softened edges can be used to create an array of customised solutions.

Tactile and aesthetically pleasing, Brightworks surfaces are available with sink inserts, inset spillways and drainers.

"This kitchen's canvas-finish benchtop has a Franke Acquario sink seamlessly fabricated into the surface," says Francis. "The workspace also features a custom-made extraction hood from Brightworks."
