Few materials combine beauty, strength and practicality quite like stainless steel. At GEC AndersonĀ®, we’ve spent more than six decades crafting stainless steel products for every kind of environment – from Michelin-starred kitchens and hospital washrooms to university labs, art galleries and residential developments. The same qualities that make stainless steel timeless in design also make it one of the most adaptable materials in modern architecture and interiors.

Our range includes stainless steel sinks, worktops, cabinets, shelving, splashbacks, mirrors, basins, sanitaryware, and more – all made to order and tailored for precision fit, hygiene and durability. Here’s why stainless steel continues to prove itself in so many spaces, and how GEC AndersonĀ® products help designers and clients achieve outstanding results.

Kitchens Built to Last

Stainless steel has long been the hallmark of professional kitchens, where hygiene, heat resistance and strength are essential. At GEC AndersonĀ®, we’ve supplied stainless steel worktops, integrated sink bowls, and custom cabinets to restaurants, cafes, hotels, and catering facilities across the UK.

For example, our made-to-measure stainless steel kitchen installations have featured in projects such as The Hepworth Wakefield CafƩ Bar, where seamless surfaces and integral sinks provided a sleek, contemporary workspace that remains spotless and functional even after years of heavy use.

In commercial kitchens, the ability to clean thoroughly without damage is critical. Stainless steel doesn’t harbour bacteria, doesn’t stain, and resists corrosion, ensuring compliance with the strictest food hygiene standards. From small bistros to large catering operations, our bespoke designs make every space as practical as it is elegant.

Washrooms Designed for Performance

Public washrooms and high-traffic facilities demand materials that can withstand continuous use, moisture, and impact. GEC AndersonĀ® stainless steel sanitaryware – including steel WC pans, urinals, wash troughs, and basins – delivers exactly that.

We’ve worked on installations in schools, airports and healthcare facilities, providing durable, hygienic and vandal-resistant fittings that perform reliably for decades. The sleek brushed satin finish reduces the visibility of marks while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic.

Our stainless steel mirrors and bucket sinks are also popular in washrooms, maintenance areas and janitorial spaces, combining practicality with long-lasting appeal.

Laboratories and Medical Centres

When hygiene and chemical resistance are critical, stainless steel is the only logical choice. In laboratories, clinics and hospitals, GEC AndersonĀ® stainless steel worktops, sinks, and storage cabinets ensure surfaces remain sterile, easy to clean, and impervious to corrosion.

Our use of acid-resisting EN 1.4401 stainless steel provides additional protection against chemicals and sterilisation agents. Each surface is made to measure, with integral sinks and precisely placed tapholes to ensure complete usability and compliance with clinical standards.

We’ve supplied healthcare and research environments nationwide, where reliability and hygiene are non-negotiable – from specialist medical suites to university science departments.

Bars, Restaurants and Hotels

Designers in the hospitality sector turn to GEC AndersonĀ® for stainless steel products that marry aesthetics with performance. From reception desks and serving counters to splashbacks and under-bar worktops, stainless steel adds contemporary character while withstanding daily wear.

A great example is the Mission Communications project in London, where a bespoke stainless steel reception counter made an immediate visual impact while retaining a clean, professional edge. Stainless steel’s reflective finish pairs beautifully with wood, glass, and lighting, helping create memorable interiors that perform as well as they look.

In hotel kitchens and service areas, our custom stainless steel sink tops, drawers, and shelving provide efficient, long-lasting solutions that maintain hygiene and style even in the busiest environments.

Communal Areas and Public Spaces

From lobbies and corridors to public concourses, stainless steel brings durability and elegance to shared spaces. Its ability to resist scratching and maintain a polished appearance makes it ideal for high-use areas.

Our stainless steel wall panels and cladding systems have featured in several office lobby refurbishments across central London, providing a striking yet professional finish that complements timber, stone and glass. These surfaces are not only easy to clean but also highly resistant to damage – a practical choice for spaces that see thousands of visitors each day.

As our case studies show, stainless steel’s subtle sheen and precision detailing transform ordinary circulation areas into modern, resilient environments that reflect quality and care.

Store Rooms, Workshops and Service Areas

Functionality is key in utility areas, and stainless steel’s toughness makes it the natural solution. Our stainless steel shelving, frames, and base cabinets are used extensively in store rooms, workshops and maintenance areas where reliability matters most.

The V90 step-less shelving system allows flexible adjustment of shelf height, creating efficient storage that can evolve as needs change. In cleaning and maintenance spaces, our stainless steel bucket sinks and sand traps support heavy-duty use while maintaining cleanliness and durability.

These products combine industrial-grade performance with a refined aesthetic that suits even visible areas of commercial buildings.

Nurseries and Teaching Buildings

In nurseries, schools and universities, hygiene and safety are paramount. Stainless steel’s non-porous, easy-clean surface ensures bacteria cannot accumulate, making it ideal for food prep areas, washrooms and classrooms.

GEC AndersonĀ® has supplied stainless steel sinks, basins, and wash troughs to educational environments across the country. The durability of our materials guarantees they remain safe and attractive even with constant use.

The absence of sharp edges, the ability to customise layouts, and the option for wheelchair-accessible fittings make our products suitable for inclusive educational design.

FaƧades and Architectural Detailing

Stainless steel isn’t confined to interiors. Its weather-resistant, self-healing surface makes it a superb choice for exterior faƧades and cladding. We have provided stainless steel panels and trims for modern office buildings and apartment developments, where the metal’s clean lines and reflective qualities enhance architectural expression.

Unlike painted or coated materials, stainless steel retains its finish for decades without peeling or fading. Whether used as a feature faƧade, an exterior splashback, or a structural element, it adds a modern, enduring quality to any project.

A Proven Partner in Stainless Steel Design

Since 1962, GEC AndersonĀ® has been the trusted partner behind some of Britain’s most demanding and creative projects. From the Hepworth Wakefield Art Gallery CafĆ© to major office refurbishments and education buildings, our products prove that stainless steel can adapt to any design vision.

Our success lies not only in the material itself but also in our ability to measure, fabricate, and install to precise specifications. Every worktop, cabinet and fitting is produced with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring it fits perfectly and performs flawlessly from day one.
