When strength, durability, and a clean finish matter, stainless steel fabrication is often the top choice. At Get Bent Metal Fabrication LTD, we work with a variety of metals every day—but stainless steel holds a special place in our shop. Whether we’re building something sleek for a high-end interior or fabricating for industrial use, stainless steel offers a unique blend of performance and polish that’s hard to beat.  Why Choose Stainless Steel Fabrication? Stainless steel isn’t just strong—it’s tough, corrosion-resistant, and easy to maintain. It stands up to the elements, resists rust, and doesn’t require painting or powder coating to keep looking good. That’s why it’s commonly used in kitchens, wineries, processing facilities, marine environments, and high-traffic areas. We’ve used stainless steel fabrication for:
Where Performance Meets Aesthetics One of the biggest reasons clients choose stainless is the look. That clean, brushed finish fits everything from modern interiors to functional industrial spaces. With the right fabrication and TIG welding techniques, stainless steel can be shaped and joined cleanly without compromising its visual appeal. At Get Bent, we know how to work stainless the right way—making sure every joint is strong, every weld is clean, and every finish matches your expectations.  Custom Solutions, Built to Spec
Not all jobs are the same, and that’s exactly why we don’t do cookie-cutter work. Every stainless project that comes through our doors is tailored to fit your exact needs—down to the last bolt or bracket. Whether you’re working from detailed shop drawings or just have an idea on paper, we can help bring your project to life. Stainless Steel Fabrication You Can Rely On We’ve been serving the Okanagan since 2008, and our reputation is built on work that holds up. If you’re looking for high-quality stainless steel fabrication done by people who actually care about the final product, you’re in the right place. From one-off custom pieces to full fabrication runs, we’ve got the tools, skills, and experience to get the job done right. If you’re searching for Kelowna welding services, you’ve probably already figured out that not all welding shops are created equal. Whether it’s a simple repair or a full custom fabrication, the difference between a decent job and a great one often comes down to experience, equipment, and attention to detail. At Get Bent Metal Fabrication LTD, we’ve been welding in Kelowna since 2008—and we’ve seen just about everything. Here’s what we think you should look for when hiring a local welder:  Skill in Both MIG and TIG Welding Some shops only offer one type of welding, which limits what they can take on. At Get Bent, we do both MIG and TIG welding—because the job demands it. MIG welding is great for fast, strong welds on mild steel, while TIG is ideal for more detailed work and materials like aluminum or stainless steel. If a shop can’t explain the difference—or doesn’t offer both—keep looking. Experience With a Range of Materials A good welding shop should be able to work with more than just mild steel. Aluminum welding, for example, requires proper technique, heat control, and the right equipment. Stainless steel has its own quirks too. Ask what materials they work with regularly—if they don’t mention aluminum or stainless, they’re probably not your best bet.  Local Know-How When it comes to welding Kelowna projects, local knowledge matters. Whether it's adapting to seasonal weather or knowing what materials stand up best to our conditions, working with someone local can save you a lot of guesswork (and money). Plus, if you're dealing with something like custom gates or deck railings, a shop that knows local building codes is a big win. Custom Fabrication Capabilities Some shops are only set up for basic repairs or prefab installs. But if you want something custom—like a one-off bracket, a bespoke railing, or a completely unique gate—you’ll want a fabricator who can cut, bend, form, and weld to spec. That’s where Get Bent really shines.  Straightforward Communication
You don’t need to be a welding expert to get great results—you just need to work with someone who listens, asks the right questions, and doesn’t leave you guessing. A good welder should be able to walk you through your options and recommend the right approach, not just sell you on the most expensive one. If you’re looking for reliable, high-quality Kelowna welding services backed by years of hands-on experience, we’re here for it. Whether you need a quick fix, a custom build, or help figuring out the best path forward—we’ll get it done, and we’ll do it right. |
