Stainless Steel Countertops Made to Fit Your Space
When you’re choosing a custom stainless steel countertop, you shouldn’t have to adapt your design to a standard size. Custom fabrication can also incorporate sinks, backsplashes, appliance openings, unusual angles, curves and other architectural details. At Lux Metals, we fabricate each countertop around your project’s exact dimensions, layout and requirements. We can create stainless steel countertops for:
- Residential kitchens
- Kitchen islands
- Outdoor kitchens and BBQ areas
- Restaurants and commercial kitchens
- Bars and beverage stations
- Wineries and hospitality spaces
- Laboratories and workspaces
- Specialty commercial applications
Residential Stainless Steel Kitchen Countertops
Stainless steel brings professional-kitchen performance into the home while creating a clean, distinctive look. It works beautifully as a full kitchen surface or as an accent alongside stone, quartz, wood or other countertop materials. Lux Metals has fabricated stainless steel countertops for everything from contemporary kitchens to historic Santa Rosa home remodels. Your countertop can be designed around features such as:
- Kitchen sinks
- Farmhouse sinks
- Cooktops
- Faucets and fixtures
- Built-in backsplashes
- Waterfall edges
- Custom overhangs
- Unusual wall conditions
- Custom-shaped islands
Because everything is fabricated specifically for the project, we’re able to solve layout challenges that aren’t easily addressed with prefabricated countertop materials.

Custom Stainless Steel Kitchen Islands
A stainless steel island can become both the centerpiece and the hardest-working surface in a kitchen. Lux Metals can fabricate island tops in custom dimensions and configurations, including oversized surfaces, sink openings, appliance cutouts, overhangs and specialty edge details. Stainless steel also pairs especially well with wood cabinetry and natural materials, giving homeowners the durability of a professional work surface without making the kitchen feel commercial.
Integrated Stainless Steel Sinks
One of the biggest advantages of a custom stainless steel countertop is the ability to incorporate the sink directly into the design. Lux Metals has fabricated custom countertops with built-in sinks in a variety of shapes and configurations, including residential and commercial applications. An integrated stainless steel sink creates a clean transition between the sink and work surface while reducing seams and simplifying cleanup. Depending on your project, we can also fabricate:
- Custom sink shapes
- Drainboard areas
- Faucet openings
- Raised or beveled edges
- Specialty work surfaces around the sink
Custom Stainless Steel Backsplashes
For an even cleaner installation, your countertop can be fabricated with an integrated or coordinating stainless steel backsplash. This creates a continuous surface behind prep areas, cooktops and sinks while helping protect the wall from water, food and everyday kitchen use. Stainless steel backsplashes can be incorporated into residential kitchens, restaurants, outdoor kitchens and other high-use environments.
Stainless Steel Countertops for Outdoor Kitchens
Stainless steel is an especially natural fit for custom outdoor kitchens and entertaining spaces. Instead of assembling an outdoor kitchen from standard components, Lux Metals can fabricate metal elements specifically around the way you want the space to function. Custom fabrication allows us to work around grills, sinks, refrigerators, cabinets and other serving areas.
Commercial Stainless Steel Countertops
Stainless steel has been trusted in professional kitchens for decades because it is durable, heat resistant, easy to clean and capable of handling demanding environments. Lux Metals fabricates custom stainless steel surfaces for:
- Restaurants
- Commercial kitchens
- Wineries
- Food preparation areas
- Hospitality businesses
- Laboratories
- Production environments
- Specialty commercial facilities
Our team has created everything from restaurant kitchen work surfaces to large custom laboratory tables and commercial kitchen countertops. When standard equipment doesn’t fit the space or workflow, custom fabrication gives you the flexibility to build around your operation.
