In addition to being hygienic and able to withstand tough use, we can achieve a greater impression for the guests in this environment. Xiamen Nishi Group Co., Ltd., with more than nine years of experience in natural stones and artificial stones industry, we can fulfill such high performance.
Durability and Resistance to Heavy Use
Commercial environments create some extreme demand for any surface, including countertops. We put ours through constant chopping, sizzling hot pans, all the heavy equipment, and every cleaner in existence! So longevity is key here, obviously.
Granite is extremely durable and can withstand high levels of wear and tear, It is scratch-resistant and highly heat-resistant, granite is extremely hard and for that reason the preferred countertop in a commercial kitchen for high-volume food prep environments. Granite does need to be resealed every few years to keep them stain-free.
Quartz is best at resisting stains thanks to its impermeable nature that doesn’t need to be sealed. Quartz resists both chipping and scratching, making it a favorite choice in kitchens that see a lot of use. Though less resistant to high heat than granite, quartz is largely adequate in commercial applications as long as reasonable precautions are exercised.
When it comes to renovation of a restaurant, hotel or any establishment catering to hospitality and food service, it is important that material choices are both long-lasting and can withstand the demands of daily use. This means that there are fewer repair and replacement expenses as well as little to no business interruptions. Xiamen Nishi Group provides engineered and natural stone that comply with the most stringent of performance requirements for any commercial kitchen space.
Hygiene and Food Safety Standards
For many restaurants and hospitality establishments, ensuring a clean and sanitary environment for food preparation is just as crucial as for the food itself. When selecting countertops, consider how well they help create an environment free of bacteria and how easy it will be to keep them squeaky clean.
Non-porous material surfaces will stop liquid absorption eliminating bacteria development for example as those available using many quartz as well as many other solid surface. Simple-to-sanitize along with detergent or antibacterial chemical; these materials help meet health codes regulations. Some substances can be made in a seamlessly, non-porous material where there is absolutely no crevices for microorganisms to build up.
Natural stones such as granite, however, will not be the best option unless properly sealed (though it will still need regular resealing) and they may stain if they don’t get regular maintenance.
Aesthetic Appeal and Guest Experience
The material used for countertop design greatly influences customer perception in hotels. Hotel guest room kitchens as well as bar & restaurant countertops need to reflect richness and warmth while building and projecting the desired brand.
