LOW’S CUSTOM STAINLESS / FROM THE DRAWING TO THE ROOM
Every surface. Every station. The whole bar, brought together.
Shape the customer edge. Resolve the working side. Keep the whole surface connected.

Orbital sanding over a 2B base scatters pendant light across the bar without a mirror reflection. Compare a physical sample under the room’s actual lighting before specifying the final surface.

A stainless grade describes the alloy. A finish describes the surface. Neither alone decides where a counter belongs; the food, moisture, cleaners, seams and local review all matter.
A common starting point for restaurant counters and bar work. Final selection depends on food contact, cleaning chemicals, salt, moisture and the room.
Bar tops, counters, sinks and service areas when the operating conditions suit the grade.Primarily worked from 2B stainless, then orbitally sanded in overlapping passes. The result is a lively, sparkling diffuse surface, never a mirror polish.
Samples and use conditions are reviewed with Low’s before the final finish is specified.Surfaces must be safe, corrosion resistant, smooth and easily cleanable under the applicable code. Finish quality, welds and access for cleaning matter alongside alloy choice.
Wet bars, sinks, drainboards and service runs need joints, drainage and cleaning exposure reviewed as a system. A decorative profile is not automatically suited to direct food contact.
Copper and brass have special limits for contact with acidic foods such as fruit juice and wine. Decorative use and direct food contact are different decisions; zinc selections need their own project review.
Research basis: FDA Food Code 2026 (model code; local adoption controls), Chapter 4 §§4-101.11, 4-101.14, 4-101.19 and 4-202.11, and worldstainless finish definitions. Final suitability is reviewed for the actual project and jurisdiction.
A bar has an alloy, a finish, a formed section and a path through the room. Move through them together. Low’s reviews the final grade, sheet gauge, bends, joints, and field dimensions for each build.
01 / STAINLESS GRADE
304 is a common starting point for bar work. Match grade, finish and exposure before specifying the build.
02 / FORMED SECTIONS
A tight hem is a small folded return with a close opening, often about 1/16–1/8 in. The final fold, sheet gauge and cleanability are reviewed for the actual application.
03 / PLAN-VIEW LAYOUT
Plan turns and cross-section brake bends are separate decisions. Corners can be mitered and welded or formed to a reviewed radius.
04 / FABRICATION CAPABILITY
Focused heat for appropriate sheet-metal joints, adding another option for clean, controlled fabrication.
The joining method is chosen for the actual material, joint, access, and finish. This view does not specify a weld procedure.
The top sets the room. Below it, every station has a job. Explore a 116-inch run from the project’s SFI underbar drawings and architectural bar section.
A perforated draining surface above two open stainless shelves. The working deck is 30 inches above the floor, with a 4-inch rear splash and 6-inch floor clearance.
The main bar is 43 inches above the floor. The equipment sits below its service overhang, with working faces and speed rails directed into the bartender aisle.
The 1-inch rear offset is included in the 24-inch equipment envelope. The 29-inch liquor-step envelope projects farther into the aisle.
Custom stainless, specified together. SFI custom underbar units, 304 stainless bodies and shelves. Low’s bar-top work meets the surrounding equipment, wall finishes and site conditions as one coordinated installation.
Drawing to installation. Dimensions shown are transcribed from project details. Field verification, final material gauge and released shop drawings remain part of the actual build.
