Few materials combine beauty, strength and practicality quite like stainless steel. At GEC AndersonĀ®, weāve spent more than six decades crafting stainless steel products for every kind of environment ā 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 ā all made to order and tailored for precision fit, hygiene and durability. Hereās 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®, weāve 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 doesnāt harbour bacteria, doesnāt 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 ā including steel WC pans, urinals, wash troughs, and basins ā delivers exactly that.
Weāve 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.
Weāve supplied healthcare and research environments nationwide, where reliability and hygiene are non-negotiable ā 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 steelās 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 ā a practical choice for spaces that see thousands of visitors each day.
As our case studies show, stainless steelās 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 steelās 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 steelās 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 isnāt 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 metalās 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.

Since 1962, GEC AndersonĀ® has been the trusted partner behind some of Britainās 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.
