A Guide to IMC Stainless Steel Edging
When you picture worktables, dish tables, or hand sinks, the edges probably aren’t the first thing that comes to mind. But don’t overlook them—they’re just as important as the main structure of the product itself. In fact, the edge plays a crucial role in maintaining cleanliness and hygiene in your facility. Here's why?
In this article, we'll explore the three different edge types that IMC uses on worktables, dish tables, and hand sinks—going over their uses and providing examples along the way. By the end, you’ll have a clear idea of which edge might be best suited for your needs. Let’s dive in.
Not All Edges Are Created Equal
When it comes to choosing the right edge, it’s essential to consider the specific application. Some edges work better than others depending on your situation. We’ll delve deeper into this later in the article. For now, let’s take a closer look at each type:
A. Flat/Square Edge
This is perhaps the simplest and most straightforward edge type to grasp. It’s also the most budget-friendly option when it comes to edging.
The flat edge provides a uniform and sleek appearance, but it doesn’t offer much protection against spills—those can easily end up on your floor instead. That said, arranging multiple products side by side in your workspace is a breeze thanks to the consistent sides.
Flat edging is considered the "standard" type when it comes to edges and will suffice in most applications.
Flat/Square edging is standard on the following IMC products:
- All Worktables
- All Base Cabinets
- All Countertops
- Model #WS-CK Corner Hand Sink

B. Marine Edge
Marine edges, sometimes referred to as "no-drip" edges, are designed to prevent light to moderate amounts of water from spilling onto your floor.
These edges feature a slight elevation around the perimeter of the product, keeping liquids securely on the surface for easier cleanup later.
Overall, the edge has a modern look and pairs well with commercial kitchen appliances. Chefs often appreciate this design for its practicality.
Marine edging is standard on the following IMC products:
- All Wall-Mounted and Free-Standing Hand Sinks (except WS-CK Corner Hand Sink)
- Model #MSK Portable Soak Sink

C. Raised Rolled Edge
The tallest edge we manufacture is the raised rolled edge. Compared to marine edges, this type has a much more pronounced elevation.
Designed to prevent almost all liquids from reaching the floor, raised rolled edges are commonly found in compartment sinks and dish tables where water usage is frequent.
While these edges remain smooth enough for daily tasks, their elevated design may take some getting used to for employees.
Raised rolled edging is standard on the following IMC products:
- All Compartment/Scullery Sinks
- Model #WSMS Multi-Station Hand Sink
- Model #SCB Service Sink

So, Which One is the Best?
Now that you're familiar with the different edge designs, the final question remains—“Which is the best for my needs?â€
The truth is, all three edge styles have their own advantages. It ultimately depends on your specific application. If your environment sees minimal liquid use, you can opt for flat/square edging—it’s the most cost-effective choice.
If you deal with light to moderate spills and prefer a slightly more polished look, a marine edge could be ideal. For areas with heavy liquid exposure, a raised rolled edge is essential. Aim to select the configuration that ensures both safety and consistent productivity.
