Refinishing Condo Elevators in Queens 11375


The choice of stainless steel for elevator doors, restaurant kitchens and healthcare facilities, as well as automotive and aerospace industries, relates to its superior strength and durability. It is also common in residential kitchens and for tanks and pipes for being non-porous and non-corrosive. These latter characteristics prevent bacteria from getting a foothold, unless, of course, the material is compromised.
While stainless steel is a very low maintenance metal, it is not a no maintenance product. Scratches, smudges, dents and flaws can make the surface look very unappealing, especially when you are getting into an elevator, for example. Plus, any holes in stainless steel compromise its integrity for both strength and harmful bacteria.


In one lovely Forest Hills residential high-rise building, we were only too happy to resurface the stainless steel on and around elevator doors and inside the elevator car. Metal resurfacing of any kind is a multi-step process of cleaning, sanding, buffing and constantly stopping, wiping and checking progress. Specialized drill-mounted polishing kits are often employed, and our technicians have the experience to select the best products and equipment to achieve the best results. With a rooftop pool, 24-hour doorman and other luxury amenities, the residents now also have refinished, sleek, polished elevators to travel to and from their homes, along with, perhaps, a renewed sense of confidence inside.
