In environments where water is a constant presenceāsuch as kitchens, bathrooms, and laboratoriesāmaintaining a dry and hygienic space is not just a matter of cleanliness but also of safety and efficiency. At GEC AndersonĀ®, we specialise in designing stainless steel solutions that ensure these wet areas remain both functional and impeccably sanitary. This post explores how our innovative wet zone options can transform the way water is managed in these critical spaces, keeping surfaces dry and operations smooth.
Understanding the Importance of Effective Water Management
In areas where water usage is high, poor management can lead to problems such as water damage, increased bacterial growth, and even accidents caused by slipping. Therefore, it’s essential to implement systems that not only handle water efficiently but also contribute to the overall cleanliness and functionality of the space.
GEC AndersonĀ® Wet Zone Features
1. Lipped Edges for Worktops Our stainless steel worktops can be fitted with lipped edges, such as edge 3 or edge 5, which are designed to contain spills and prevent water from seeping onto other surfaces. These edges form an effective barrier that ensures liquids are kept within the worktop area, making them ideal for settings where spill control is critical.
2. Integrated Upstands To further prevent water from escaping to walls or adjacent fixtures, we offer integrated upstands. These act as an additional containment feature, enhancing the protective perimeter around your work area.
3. Drip Trays and Drainage Grooves Essential for areas where water disposal needs to be managed discreetly, our drip trays and drainage grooves guide water away from work areas directly into the sink or disposal unit, maintaining a dry working surface and reducing the risk of water damage or microbial growth.
4. GEC AndersonĀ® Pressed Recess A standout feature is our pressed recess, which creates a designated wet zone within the worktop. This flat, recessed area is perfect for situating sink bowls, ensuring that all water and spillage are contained within a controlled space. Custom sizes and positions are available, along with variable corner radii, making it adaptable to any design requirement.
5. GEC AndersonĀ® Shallow Recess For those requiring a more nuanced approach, our shallow recess surrounds the sink bowl, providing a slight incline that leads directly to the drainage system. This feature is customisable in terms of size and slope, facilitating seamless water management.
6. GEC AndersonĀ® Inline Drainer Adjacent to the sink, our inline drainer offers a sleek, efficient solution for drying washed items. Its precise slope ensures water drains back into the sink, keeping the surrounding area dry and clean.
7. GEC AndersonĀ® Boss Profile The BOSS profile not only aids in water drainage but is also robust enough to serve as a resting place for hot pans. Its raised design and patterned positioning make it a dual-purpose feature that enhances both the utility and aesthetics of the work surface.
