Benefits Of Stainless Steel Appliances
If you are making plans to remodel your kitchen
, or if you just need to replace some or all of your appliances, you've got that daunting task of what color and what finish. While the Avocado and Harvest Gold tones of the 50s and 60s are gone, you can still find retro appliances to fit that style. But mostly your choices are going to be white, black, almond or stainless. Certainly your personal style preference will factor into your decision, but when you're spending that much money, you want to make sure you're getting the best value for your investment.
As trends in home design come and go, stainless remains a classic, durable choice. With stainless steel if you decide yet again to change your kitchen design, you can easily change out your cabinets and paint your walls without having to go through the pain and expense of replacing your appliances.
Stainless appliances are tough and durable, but they're also stylish and sleek. You can find virtually every kitchen appliance in a stainless steel finish, from refrigerators to stoves to toaster ovens.
While it is true that stainless steel appliances seem like they're the current trend, they really are a timeless choice. Look at any TV cooking show, and you'll see the kitchens and appliances are stainless. In fact since the days of the American diner, stainless steel has long been in the industry standard in industrial kitchens. But it's not just a fad. Stainless steel appliances can give your kitchen a classic look for years to come.
Keep in mind that there are varying finishes for stainless appliances. If you're replacing your appliances all at once, it may be easier to match them, although manufacturers don't always feature the same series of appliances in the exact same finish. So you will need to shop carefully. You can also match your faucets, sink and cabinet hardware, but most designers will tell you that everything doesn't have to match. Consider varying finishes on hardware and fixtures to give a coordinated, but not boring, appearance to your kitchen. If you find those choices to be intimidating, consult a design professional.
In most cases, you're going to pay more for appliances with a stainless finish, but you're also getting quality and durability. So budget accordingly and consider how you may actually be saving money over the long life of your appliances.
So what are the best reasons for choosing stainless steel appliances?
Stainless steel is easy to clean and to maintain. One of the best things about stainless steel is that it does not absorb dirt. To the contrary it actually resists fingerprints, smudges and scuff marks. You can wipe down stainless steel with a damp cloth and a stainless cleaner will help protect and preserve the surface. And, as the name suggests, it resists stains.
Stainless steel is easy to disinfect. Stainless steel is non-porous which means that it more effectively resists germs and bacteria. If you have pets or young children, stainless steel gives you the advantage of being able to wipe it down easily with a disinfectant cleaner. While not quite as crucial for the exterior of your stove or refrigerator, stainless steel counters and utensils don't affect the flavor of your food.
Stainless steel is durable. Unlike appliances with porcelain finishes, stainless steel will not discolor or fade over time. It's also rust-proof and will maintain its shine and appearance for years to come. The finishes on your stainless steel appliances are not easily scratched and you can polish them to sparkle and shine in your kitchen.
Stainless steel can fit into any dcor. They can complement almost any kitchen design. You can balance out the sleek metallic finish with wood or other accents. Stainless steel can be used on a variety of appliances that include your refrigerator, washer and dryer, freezer, stove top, dishwasher and your countertops.
