GOOD: The majority of island manufacturers use steel studs held together with self tapping screws to construct their frames, which reduces production costs. This manufacturing technique generally results in sagging of the frame work, which in turn results in cracks on the counter top and stucco wall.
BETTER: There are some manufacturers who use thinner steel frames that are spot welded together. This also saves time in production, but the results are the same. Sagging of the frame work, which in turn results in cracks on the counter top and stucco wall.
BEST: At Islands In The Sun we construct our frames with fully welded joints, They are built with glavanized steel, so rust is never a issue.
