Need advise. Is stainless stell backing for kitchen difficult to maintain? I am afraid that there will be small ants or dirt slip through the glass backing in long run.

Hi, I am thinking about it too. Where do you intend to get and how much? I heard its easier to clean than tiles but you must clean it well to maintain its shine and it scratches easily.

Cheers!

Stainless steel backing is easy to maintain.

Just wipe it after every cook with towel or cloth in warm soapy water with dish detergent or soap powder.

No harsh scrubbing like using scotchbrite or the use of grainy detergent like cif, vim etc.

It is better to use s/s in hairline finishing than BA which is too gloss or 2B which is too dull.

If you are using a plywood top, you can have the backing bend from the table top w/o joint-gap.

on the kitchen wall to catch oil splashes so it doesn't dirty the tiles? If it's the 2nd case, how much will it cost & do I get

glass easier to clean than stainless steel? i mean isn't it more oily? u know like when grease stays on harder to clean?

Can anyone who has used Stainless Steel as Back Splash for Kitchen please kindly advice or share your picture if it is better than tempered glass back splash, thank you.
