Stainless Steel Grills and Accessories for Apartments
What Is Stainless Steel?
Stainless steel is an iron-based alloy, meaning it’s a mixture of metals that improve the qualities of regular carbon steel.
While carbon steel is made from iron and carbon and is stronger than iron alone, it doesn’t resist corrosion well. Stainless steel, on the other hand, is known for its strength, durability, light weight, and rust resistance. It’s one of the most popular materials used across a wide range of industries and outdoor products.
Why Use Stainless Steel for Patio Grills and Outdoor Accessories?
Rust Resistance
Stainless steel resists iron oxidation, or rust, far better than iron or carbon steel. This makes it ideal for outdoor environments where exposure to moisture and air is constant. Chromium, a key ingredient in stainless steel, creates an invisible and thin protective layer that stops oxygen from reaching the iron beneath.
Molybdenum can also be added to further enhance corrosion resistance, especially in coastal or salty environments.
Corrosion Resistance
Beyond rust, stainless steel resists other forms of corrosion such as pitting and galvanic corrosion. This ensures your outdoor appliances stay strong and attractive even after years of exposure.
Strength and Durability
Patio grills made with stainless steel are stronger and less brittle than iron, holding up under heavy use and high heat over many seasons.
Light Weight
Despite its strength, stainless steel is relatively lightweight. This makes stainless steel grills perfect for rooftop patios or other spaces with weight restrictions.
Aesthetic Appeal
Stainless steel has a polished, modern look that appeals to both owners and residents, elevating the appearance of any outdoor amenity area.
Stainless Steel Grills for Apartments and Condos
PGS Grills offers a line of commercial grills designed specifically for multifamily properties like apartments and condos.
The PGS Legacy T-Series grills feature all stainless steel construction and includes the following models:
• S27T, S36T, and S48T – available in natural gas or propane
• E27T – a fully electric stainless steel grill
Each model is engineered for reliability, safety, and ease of use in shared community settings.
Key Features of PGS T-Series Grills
60-Minute Automatic Shut-Off Grill Timers:
PGS T-Series Grills are the only models on the market with built-in grill timers integrated directly into the control panel. Other brands often require third-party timers, which add extra steps during installation.
Grill timers are crucial for multifamily properties because they ensure residents don’t leave grills running unattended. This helps prevent wasted energy and reduces safety risks.
Anti-Theft Control Knobs:
These specially designed knobs discourage tampering or theft, keeping your community’s grills secure and fully operational.
Laser-Etched Instructions:
Control panel instructions are engraved directly into the stainless steel, meaning they won’t fade or wear off over time. Residents will always be able to read the controls clearly.
Flip Grates:
PGS grills feature reversible grates that can be flipped upside down during cleaning. The heat from the grill helps burn off grease and food residue, making maintenance easier.
Adjustable Legs:
Adjust your grill’s height to achieve the perfect ergonomic setup for your outdoor space.
Temperature Indicator:
A built-in temperature gauge lets residents monitor heat levels without opening the lid, improving cooking results and energy efficiency.
