In the design and construction of commercial, public, and industrial spaces, the selection of materials for sanitary fixtures is crucial. Stainless steel, with its impeccable credentials for strength, durability, and hygiene, stands out as a superior choice. But what exactly makes stainless steel so ideal for sanitaryware? At GEC Anderson®, we have harnessed these properties to develop a range of stainless steel sanitary appliances that not only meet but exceed the demands of modern hygienic requirements.
Unparalleled Hygiene
Stainless steel is inherently non-porous, which means it does not harbour bacteria, viruses, or fungi. This makes it one of the most hygienic materials available, crucial for environments like hospitals, restaurants, and public washrooms where cleanliness is paramount. The smooth, hard surface of stainless steel is easy to clean and can be quickly sanitised without the need for harsh chemicals, which is essential for maintaining a sterile environment. Our stainless steel sanitaryware, from hand wash basins to complex multistation wash basins, is designed to support the highest standards of cleanliness.

Robust Durability
In high-traffic areas, the durability of materials is a significant concern. Stainless steel excels in this regard due to its resistance to corrosion, staining, and physical wear. Our products, constructed from high-grade EN 1.4301 stainless steel, are built to withstand the rigours of heavy daily use without showing signs of wear. For environments that require even greater resistance, such as those exposed to acids and chemicals, we offer an option for EN 1.4401 acid-resisting stainless steel, ensuring longevity and continued performance under even the most challenging conditions.
Economic and Environmental Sustainability
Choosing stainless steel sanitaryware is not only a sound economic decision due to its low maintenance and long service life but also an environmentally friendly one. Stainless steel is 100% recyclable, reducing the environmental footprint from production to disposal. At GEC Anderson®, our sanitaryware is designed to have a low life-cycle cost, meaning that the long-term savings from reduced maintenance, durability, and the absence of need for frequent replacements make it a cost-effective solution over time.
Versatility in Design
The flexibility of stainless steel allows for a variety of designs and customisations. GEC Anderson® offers made-to-order stainless steel sanitaryware solutions, where the length, position of basins, and edge profiles can be tailored to meet specific design requirements and constraints. Whether you need a single wash basin or a bespoke multistation setup for a larger space, our products can be configured to maximise functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Safety First
Safety in material choice is often overlooked but is critical in public and commercial environments. Stainless steel is non-chip and shatterproof, making it a safe option for high-use areas. There is no risk of breaking into sharp pieces, a common hazard with other materials like porcelain or glass, which can pose serious risks in busy settings.
