STAINLESS STEEL


Taking Stock of Stainless Steel J


ust about 200 years ago, experiments with chromium-iron alloys paved the


Comment by Martin Tye Managing Director, GEC Anderson


way in the development of what we now call 'stainless steel'. Originally, stainless steel was developed with military and nautical purposes in mind but for the last 100 years or so, this unique material has found its way into many other products and components, including the built environment. Its resistance to corrosion and generally durability, combined with the fact that stainless steel can be worked and formed so easily, has made it the obvious and, often, the only choice in certain applications. A growing recognition and desire for honest and sustainable materials has also played an important part in how the use of stainless steel has developed. Within the built environment, the kitchen


worktop was the obvious target for improvement.


A very early example of a purpose-made worksurface (with integral sink) can still be seen today, in the museum home of artist, Anders Zorn, who is said to have brought it back from the USA to his native Sweden in 1903. Before this time, the typical arrangement would have been the rather primitive wooden draining board with fireclay sink. Bauhaus and, later, Brutalist architecture were relentless in their quest for simplicity, honesty and practicality that allowed the widespread multiplication of the principle of the one-piece stainless steel sink sink and worktop. To date, no other material has been found to surpass stainless steel for this purpose. The use of stainless steel has, instead, been extended to include appliances, and other kitchen furniture. As to the future, the trend towards greater use


and prominence of stainless steel looks set to continue until and unless a potential alternative is found.
