At GEC AndersonĀ®, weāve spent more than six decades working with one of the most remarkable materials ever developed ā stainless steel. Its strength, beauty and hygienic qualities make it the first choice for professionals who value performance as much as design. Whether itās a stainless steel worktops andĀ sinks,Ā cabinets, or splashbacks, every product we create begins with a material thatās designed to endure.
A Material Built for Life
The defining quality of stainless steel is its resilience. Unlike coated or laminated materials that deteriorate over time, stainless steel retains its structure and finish through years of continuous use.
GEC AndersonĀ® uses EN 1.4301 brushed satin stainless steel, known for its outstanding durability and corrosion resistance. For laboratories and harsher environments, we employ acid-resisting EN 1.4401 grade steel ā an alloy enriched with molybdenum for superior protection.
This chromium-nickel composition naturally forms a protective oxide layer that continually renews itself. Even when cut or scratched, stainless steel āself-repairsā, preventing rust and preserving its clean appearance. The result is a material that remains reliable under heat, fire, water, and heavy use ā all while maintaining a modern, timeless look.
The Hygienic Choice
In todayās hygiene-conscious world, the importance of easy-clean, bacteria-resistant surfaces has never been greater. Stainless steelās non-porous structure leaves no room for dirt, stains or microbes to hide. Thatās why it has long been the preferred choice for commercial kitchens, hospitals, and laboratories.
Our stainless steel sinks, basins, and worktops are manufactured as continuous surfaces with integrated bowls and smooth joins, leaving no crevices or gaps. This seamless design is inherently more hygienic, ensuring that cleaning is quick and thorough.
The same qualities extend to our stainless steel sanitaryware ā from steel WC pans and urinals to bucket sinks and wash troughs ā all designed for heavy use in public and commercial environments where cleanliness and reliability are non-negotiable.
Beauty in the Details
At GEC AndersonĀ®, stainless steel isnāt just practical; itās beautiful. The brushed satin finish applied to our products gives a distinctive lustre thatās easy to maintain and resistant to fingerprinting. For clients who prefer a softer, more tactile surface, our Patina finish offers a subtle, matt texture that conceals wear while maintaining elegance.
Every product, from our individual stainless steel sink bowls to our stainless steel cabinets and doors, showcases the balance between form and function. Clean lines, precision edges and a reflective glow make stainless steel at once understated and distinctive ā equally suited to contemporary interiors and professional environments.
Minimal Maintenance, Maximum Value
Stainless steelās long lifespan makes it a sound investment. It requires no painting, sealing, or coating, and it withstands cleaning agents that would damage other materials. Its ability to resist corrosion and impact means maintenance costs are minimal and replacement cycles are infrequent.
From stainless steel shelving systems in a laboratory to stainless steel kitchen cabinets in a hospitality setting, the durability of our products translates into lower lifetime costs for our clients ā a fact thatās as practical as it is sustainable.

Designed for the Circular Economy
Sustainability is built into every GEC AndersonĀ® product. Stainless steel is 100% recyclable, with no loss of quality during reprocessing. The materialās strength and longevity reduce waste, while its recoverability ensures it can continue serving a purpose long after its initial installation.
This commitment to circular design aligns with the growing focus on responsible sourcing and long-term environmental value ā another reason stainless steel remains the material of choice for forward-thinking architects and designers.
A Perfect Partnership of Form and Function
From bespoke stainless steel worktops with integrated sink bowls to frames and supports, splashbacks, and sanitary fittings, every GEC AndersonĀ® product is designed to harness the full potential of stainless steel. Our fabrication expertise ensures every millimetre contributes to precision, hygiene, and enduring beauty.
Itās this combination ā performance without compromise ā that makes stainless steel not only the most practical choice but also one of the most expressive materials in modern design.
At GEC AndersonĀ®, we donāt just work with stainless steel; we understand it, shape it, and perfect it. The result is a collection of products that are as dependable as they are distinctive ā engineered to perform beautifully for a lifetime.
