In the realm of building design and maintenance, choosing the right materials for sanitary fixtures is pivotal. At GEC AndersonĀ®, we have observed a significant shift towards stainless steel sanitaryware in various sectors due to its numerous benefits over traditional materials. This blog post explores why stainless steel sanitaryware from GEC AndersonĀ® is a superior choice for any facility, be it commercial, educational, healthcare, or residential.
Unmatched Durability and Longevity
Resistant to Wear and Tear
Stainless steel is inherently robust, making it ideal for high-traffic areas that require sanitary solutions that can withstand constant use. Unlike porcelain or ceramic, stainless steel does not crack, chip, or break under normal usage conditions. Facilities such as schools, public toilets, and hospitals particularly benefit from the durability of stainless steel sanitaryware, ensuring long-term functionality and reduced need for replacements.
Corrosion and Stain Resistance
Another significant advantage of stainless steel is its resistance to rust and stains. Facilities with high moisture levels, such as commercial kitchens and bathrooms, can see a marked improvement in longevity and aesthetics when using stainless steel over other materials. This resistance ensures that sanitary fixtures maintain their clean, shiny appearance over years of use, contributing to a more hygienic environment.
Hygienic and Easy to Clean
Non-Porous Surface
The non-porous nature of stainless steel makes it exceptionally hygienic. Bacteria, viruses, and mould cannot easily adhere to or penetrate the smooth surface of stainless steel, making it the material of choice in environments where cleanliness and sanitation are paramount, such as in hospitals and food preparation areas.
Ease of Maintenance
Stainless steel sanitaryware is incredibly easy to clean and maintain. It does not require harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners to maintain its hygienic surface, a simple wipe with a mild detergent is sufficient. This ease of maintenance not only saves time and resources but also reduces the environmental impact associated with the frequent use of cleaning chemicals.
Aesthetic Versatility
Modern Appeal
Stainless steel has a sleek, modern appearance that can enhance the aesthetic of any bathroom or kitchen. GEC AndersonĀ® offers a variety of finishes and styles in our sanitaryware range, allowing designers and architects to incorporate these fixtures into any design ethos from industrial chic to contemporary minimalism.
Customisation and Integration
At GEC AndersonĀ®, our sanitaryware comes in various forms, including WC pans, urinals, basins, wash troughs, and more specialised items like bucket sinks and sand traps. Each piece can be customised to fit specific spatial requirements and aesthetic desires, ensuring seamless integration into any project.

Eco-Friendly and Cost-Effective
Sustainable Material
Stainless steel is not only durable but also 100% recyclable. This sustainability aspect appeals to eco-conscious facilities looking to reduce their environmental impact. The longevity of stainless steel also means less waste and fewer resources are needed over the life of the facility.
Cost Efficiency
Considering the longevity and minimal maintenance requirements, stainless steel sanitaryware is a cost-effective solution for any facility. The initial investment is offset by the extended lifespan and reduced upkeep costs, providing excellent value over time.
