A affordable Range of Quality Standard Stainless steel Braais, complete with Grid and Stainless steel doors. Stainless steel Built in Braais are Available in an 800, 1000 or 1200mm model. Manufactured from 430 Stainless steel.

Stainless steel as a whole is corrosion-resistant however; different grades perform better than others. The introduction of nickel in 304 makes it a much more corrosion resistant grade than 430 and for this reason would be considered for installation in a coastal province however, it does make it more expensive. 430 differ in its carbon content and the lack of elements such as nickel. For this reason it is generally considered for installation inland or indoors. Where cost is a larger factor than the life span, 430 may be more suitable.

⚠️ Important Installation Note

For Stainless Steel Braais in Coastal Environments: While 430 stainless steel offers better corrosion resistance than mild steel, it's still not recommended for outdoor coastal applications or within wet conditions. Consider upgrading to 316 stainless steel which contains molybdenum for enhanced salt water resistance when planing a coastal outdoor installation. All components exposed to the elements above the brickwork must be constructed from 304 stainless steel or higher grade to ensure longevity.
