Is stainless steel or aluminum better for kitchen racks?

Stainless steel racks

Advantages:

1. Stainless steel racks are durable and clean. The kitchen has a heavy smell of oil smoke. If ordinary materials are used, it is easy to be stained by oil. At this time, you should choose a stainless steel rack with a higher density and a smooth surface. The stainless steel material is polished relatively smooth and has a higher density. The brushed matte stainless steel is more obvious.

2. The advantage of using stainless steel racks in the kitchen is that it has strong corrosion resistance, especially 304 material, which is not only not easy to rust, but also has a certain degree of hardness, so it is safe to hang it on the wall without worrying about it falling off.

Disadvantages:

1. Some mirror-finished stainless steel materials have chrome-plated polishing components, which easily leave difficult-to-wipe watermarks or hand marks on them. So even if it is brighter at the beginning, the color will fade after a period of use.

2. Some stainless steel racks sold on the market cannot withstand the grinding of time and will still rust. If the kitchen is relatively humid, it will rust faster.

Aluminum

Advantages:

1. Aluminum racks are anti-static, acid-resistant and corrosion-resistant, and they remain shiny even after many years. The surface is oxidized, smooth and delicate, and water marks are easy to remove.

2. Aluminum racks are very popular with some people. They are relatively light and never rust. You don’t have to worry about moisture soaking them in the kitchen and becoming rusty.

Disadvantages:

1. Compared with stainless steel, aluminum products will leave marks on the surface, and it is difficult to clean them.

2. Because the texture of aluminum is not very good and looks too thin, some people think it is not strong. Indeed, space aluminum cannot hang too heavy objects because it is not hard enough and too heavy may cause it to deform.
