Hard-wearing, easy-clean, EHO-compliant cladding for the areas of your kitchen that take the most heat.
Stainless steel cladding withstands the high temperatures behind cooking ranges and under extract canopies, is very easy to clean and is fully EHO compliant. Cool Stream supplies and installs it, tailored to the cooking area.
Stainless steel wall cladding is ideal for areas that are directly subject to high temperatures, for example behind cooking ranges and under extract canopies. It is very easy to clean and fully EHO compliant, and the sheeting can be tailored to suit most cooking areas.
We supply and install stainless steel cladding beneath kitchen extraction canopies, or anywhere else it might be required. At Chef & Spice we fitted it floor-to-ceiling on every wall of the main kitchen, glued rather than screwed, with stainless steel divider bars for easy cleaning.
Food-handling rooms need surfaces that are durable, smooth, non-absorbent and easy to clean and disinfect. Stainless steel meets that brief, withstands the heat behind cooking ranges and under canopies, and is fully EHO compliant. It does not absorb grease or moisture and is quick to wipe down at the end of service.
The priority areas are behind and beside cooking appliances and under extract canopies. Many kitchens clad every wall of the main kitchen. At Chef & Spice we fitted it floor-to-ceiling on every wall of the main kitchen, glued rather than screwed, with stainless steel divider bars for easy cleaning; read the Chef & Spice case study. Cladding pairs naturally with an extraction canopy, and we can supply shelving, tables with under-shelves, sinks and utensil hooks to specification.
Wall finishes in food-handling rooms need to be smooth, durable and easy to keep clean, and areas behind cooking equipment see the highest temperatures and the most splashing. Stainless steel suits both. It is also non-combustible, which sits well with HSE's guidance that canopies and ductwork should be made from non-combustible material. Planning the cladding at the same time as the canopy and ductwork means services, gas pipework and sockets are coordinated, and the canopy sits neatly against the finished wall. Ask us about kitchen extraction systems and extraction canopies for the complete scheme.
Clean cladding regularly with a cleaner suitable for stainless steel, following the manufacturer's instructions, and avoid abrasive pads that scratch the surface and make it harder to keep clean. Wipe in the direction of the grain, rinse and dry. Check joints and divider bars during routine cleaning, since gaps that open up can trap grease and moisture.
Measure accurately, plan joints where they can be kept clean, and coordinate with services such as gas pipework, electrical outlets and the canopy itself. We measure on site and fabricate to suit, so one team handles canopy, ductwork and cladding together.
Yes. Stainless steel sheeting is very easy to clean and fully EHO compliant.
It is ideal for areas directly subject to high temperatures, such as behind cooking ranges and under extract canopies, but can be fitted anywhere in the kitchen it is required.
Yes. On past projects we have also supplied and installed stainless steel shelving, tables with under-shelves to client measurements, sinks and utensil hooks.
Surfaces must be easy to clean and maintain; stainless steel is a popular way to achieve that and is fully EHO compliant.
Often yes, but equipment may need to be moved. We confirm at survey.
Typically glued, with stainless steel divider bars between sheets. The method depends on the wall and the heat load.
Yes, on request, to client measurements.
