In high-traffic environments, furniture and fittings are tested every single day. Doors are opened and slammed, drawers are pulled repeatedly, surfaces are cleaned with powerful chemicals and equipment is wheeled across floors without hesitation. In these demanding settings, ordinary cabinetry simply does not last.
At GEC Anderson®, we manufacture stainless steel cabinets and doors that are engineered specifically for real-world use. Our stainless steel base cabinets, drawer cabinets and cabinet doors are designed to withstand heavy wear, intensive cleaning regimes and sustained impact while maintaining a professional appearance and hygienic performance.
If you are specifying stainless steel kitchen cabinets for a hospital, upgrading storage in a school laboratory, or fitting out a transport hub washroom, our cabinetry delivers durability, security and long-term value that conventional alternatives struggle to match.
Why Stainless Steel Cabinets Excel in High-Traffic Environments
Traditional cabinet materials such as laminate-faced board or painted timber can deteriorate quickly in environments subject to moisture, impact and chemical cleaning. Edges chip, surfaces swell, hinges loosen and hygiene becomes difficult to maintain.
Stainless steel cabinets and doors behave differently.
Manufactured from high-quality EN 1.4301 brushed satin stainless steel, our cabinetry offers:
- Exceptional resistance to corrosion and staining
- High durability under sustained heavy use
- Non-porous, hygienic surfaces
- Minimal maintenance requirements
- Long service life with low life-cycle costs.
For environments such as hospitals, custodial facilities, schools, laboratories and transport buildings, stainless steel cabinetry provides confidence that fittings will remain functional and visually consistent for decades rather than years.
Stainless Steel Base Cabinets Designed for Stability and Strength
Our stainless steel base cabinets form the backbone of many professional installations. Available in standard sizes, with non-standard sizes made to order, they are designed to integrate seamlessly beneath stainless steel worktops or as part of complete stainless steel kitchen installations.
Key features include:
- Stainless steel legs with adjustable feet
- Optional stainless steel kickplates
- One vertically adjustable shelf per cabinet
- Optional lockable stainless steel castors with rubber tyres.
The adjustable feet allow precise levelling on uneven floors, an important consideration in refurbishment projects or older buildings. Optional castors provide mobility in environments where flexibility is essential, such as teaching kitchens, laboratories or maintenance workshops.
When paired with GEC Anderson® stainless steel worktops, splashbacks and integrated sink bowls, these base cabinets contribute to a cohesive, hygienic and professional finish.
Drawer Cabinets Built for Repetition and Reliability
In busy healthcare or educational settings, drawers are opened and closed hundreds of times a day. Inferior runners quickly become loose or misaligned, leading to frustration and premature replacement.
Our stainless steel drawer cabinets are fitted with smooth and accurate roller-bearing runners. Units are available with two, three or four drawers, and individual drawers can also be supplied for mounting beneath worktops.
These drawer systems are engineered to deliver consistent performance over time, even under heavy loads. Stainless steel legs with adjustable feet or optional castors ensure that the entire unit remains stable and secure.
The result is robust stainless steel storage that performs reliably in laboratories, catering facilities, hospital treatment rooms and industrial environments.
Double-Skinned Stainless Steel Cabinet Doors for Enhanced Durability
One of the defining features of our stainless steel cabinet doors is their robust double-skinned construction. Corners are welded and polished to provide a clean, strong and professional finish.
Double-skinned stainless steel cabinet doors offer:
- Increased rigidity
- Improved resistance to impact
- Enhanced durability in high-use settings.
Doors and drawer fronts are available with a choice of handle styles, including continuous recessed handles, stainless steel D handles, back-sloped edges or plain finishes for use with customer-specified hardware. Optional key-operated locks and fire-resistant cores are also available, adding security and compliance where required.
For architects and specifiers working in transport hubs, healthcare estates or custodial environments, these stainless steel cabinets and doors provide reassurance that the installation will withstand both everyday wear and deliberate misuse.

Wall Cabinets That Maximise Space and Maintain Hygiene
In clinical rooms, laboratories and commercial kitchens, wall-mounted storage is essential for maintaining clear floor areas and efficient workflows.
Our stainless steel wall cabinets are wall-hung using adjustable surface-fixed brackets and include a vertically adjustable internal shelf. Standard sizes are available, with non-standard dimensions made to order.
Optional sloping tops are particularly valuable in healthcare and catering environments, helping to prevent dust accumulation and simplify cleaning. The non-porous nature of stainless steel supports hygienic performance and aligns with modern infection control standards.
When combined with stainless steel shelving systems, splashbacks and stainless steel sink installations, wall cabinets contribute to a fully integrated and easy-to-maintain environment.
Heavy-Duty Frames and Supports for Structural Confidence
Behind every reliable cabinet system is a robust support structure. GEC Anderson® stainless steel frames and supports are manufactured from strong 30 x 30 mm square section tubing and are designed for high load capacities.
Features include:
- Adjustable feet for precise levelling
- Optional floor-fixing flanges
- Ø 8 mm barred shelves with perimeter frames
- Optional solid or multiple undershelves
- Optional braked castors
- Manual or electrically operated hydraulic height adjustment.
These stainless steel frames can be used for free-standing surfaces and units, with or without stainless steel base cabinets and drawer cabinets. In demanding environments such as industrial facilities, laboratories and commercial catering kitchens, this structural strength ensures stability and long-term performance.
Low Life-Cycle Costs and Long-Term Value
While stainless steel cabinetry may represent a considered investment, its long service life and minimal maintenance requirements deliver excellent value over time.
Unlike alternative materials that may require replacement due to water damage, delamination or impact wear, stainless steel cabinets and doors maintain their structural integrity and visual clarity. Surfaces are easy to clean and do not harbour dirt or bacteria within porous materials.
For facilities managers and estates teams, this translates into:
- Reduced maintenance interventions
- Fewer replacements
- Lower long-term costs
- Consistent professional presentation.
In public sector buildings, transport infrastructure and healthcare facilities, these benefits are significant.
Proven Across Schools, Hospitals and Transport Facilities
Stainless steel cabinetry from GEC Anderson® is widely used in environments where performance is non-negotiable.
In schools and universities, stainless steel kitchen cabinets and shelving systems withstand heavy daily use while remaining safe and easy to maintain. In hospitals and clinics, hygienic stainless steel cabinets support infection control and robust cleaning protocols. In transport hubs and custodial facilities, durable double-skinned stainless steel cabinet doors provide resilience against impact and misuse.
Across all these settings, stainless steel cabinetry ensures reliability, security and longevity.
