Stainless Steel Table Tops 700

The extended depth of stainless steel table tops 700mm is the choice for bar projects where the bartender needs maximum working freedom—a wide range of equipment, multiple simultaneous processes, or an ergonomically optimized working posture. In hotel bars, high-end restaurant bars, and large cafés, where the width of the bar work zone allows for a deeper configuration, the 700mm surface is the ideal solution for intensive bar operations.

Product range

Stainless steel table tops 700mm in depth are available in various widths and configurations to suit the bar work zone layout.

Standard straight surfaces without additional modifications provide a universal work area that can be used in any bar station configuration. The extra width at 700mm depth allows equipment to be placed further back, leaving the bartender with a free front work zone.

Surfaces with integrated cutouts for standard basin or container sizes offer a ready-made solution without additional processing. Combined with ice basins and basins, the 700mm surface forms a fully functional, easily usable bar work zone.

Corner and modular surfaces allow for configuring bar station corners and non-standard bar zone shapes where multiple segments need to be connected.

How to choose a bar station work surface 700mm

The main criterion is the physical space of the bar zone—700mm depth requires a correspondingly deeper bar counter or under-counter structure. Before choosing, ensure that the space allows for a 700mm depth bar zone without reducing comfort behind and in front of the bar.

The second aspect is the depth of the bar equipment—if under-counter refrigeration units, ice machines, or glass washers are deeper than 600–650mm, the 700mm surface ensures proper coverage without a gap at the front.

The third criterion is the integration of the surface with other bar station elements—frames, legs, ice basins, and drainage systems. Compatibility of all components must be ensured at the bar planning stage.

• Check the space and under-counter equipment depth before choosing 700mm
• Compare with 600mm and 650mm options according to the bar’s specifications
• Ensure compatibility with the bar station frame and under-counter structure
• Evaluate the surface thickness based on the expected weight load

Ergonomic advantages of 700mm depth work surfaces

The extended 700mm depth work surface in a bar station provides bartenders with greater working freedom and more efficient equipment placement—cocktail shakers, measuring tools, and bar accessories can be positioned further back, leaving the front free for direct order service. Ergonomics at the bar workstation directly impact the bartender’s long-term health—a wider workspace reduces unnecessary movements and body twists during shifts. In hotel bars and high-end restaurants, the 700mm surface is the recommended configuration for active cocktail bars.

Stainless steel standards for HoReCa work surfaces

AISI 304 stainless steel used in the production of professional bar work surfaces meets the highest sanitary standards for food processing—the surface is non-porous, does not absorb oils or beverage stains, and can be cleaned with disinfectants during intensive maintenance. Unlike stone or wood surfaces, stainless steel does not harbor bacteria in seams or pores. Sanitary regulations in the HoReCa sector recommend stainless steel as the standard material for professional bar work surfaces.

Work surface thickness, load-bearing capacity, and reinforcement

The thickness of 700mm bar work surfaces is typically 1,0–1,5mm—sturdy enough not to deform under the weight of widely used appliances and beverages, yet lightweight for installation. For surfaces with integrated cutouts for basins or containers, the structural stability of the frame is crucial to prevent deformation under load. BHS specialists can recommend suitable bar frame solutions for 700mm depth surfaces for specific projects.

Planning a bar station for a new project with 700mm surfaces

Choosing a 700mm depth work surface for a new bar project requires coordinated planning with under-counter equipment and bar station elements. Under-counter refrigeration units, ice machines, and glass washers must be prepared for a 700mm depth niche. BHS offers consultations for bar zone planning, providing recommendations for the coordinated selection of work surfaces, under-counter components, and bar station elements.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between 600mm, 650mm, and 700mm bar station surfaces?

The main difference is depth—600mm is the standard for smaller bars and cafés, 650mm is a mid-range option with a larger work area, and 700mm is the maximum standard depth for active bars with extensive equipment placement. A deeper surface requires a correspondingly deeper bar counter and under-counter equipment configuration, so it should be chosen based on the available physical space.

Can a 700mm surface be installed on an existing bar counter?

If the existing bar counter is sufficiently deep and structurally sound, a 700mm surface can be installed as a replacement element. Individual consultation ensures proper installation and stability.
