What is stainless steel bathroomware?
Stainless steel is also known internationally as inox. In the bathroom, it is recognizable by its silver-gray metallic color, often with a fine brushed-line pattern. This collection brings together products with a stainless steel or brushed steel appearance, from faucets and shower sets to shower drains, grab bars and toilet paper holders. Check each product's title and specifications to see whether it is stainless steel, brushed steel, brushed steel with a PVD finish or has a stainless steel look.
What products are in this collection?
| Product type | Examples | What should you look for? |
|---|---|---|
| Shower drains & floor drains | Shower drains with flange and grate, tile-in grates, shower drains, hair filters | Length, grate or tile-in grate, drain direction |
| Stainless steel faucets | Basin faucets, bath faucets, bidet faucets, kitchen faucets (including models with cold-start or pull-out hand shower) | Wall-mounted or built-in, spout height |

The shower drain is the largest product group in this collection. To compare all models and sizes, visit the shower drains category; for practical storage in the wall, see shower niches.
Stainless steel also looks great beyond the shower. In the kitchen, for example, you can choose a stainless steel kitchen faucet with a pull-out hand shower or cold-start function, and at the sink, a tall stainless steel basin faucet or a built-in model. In the toilet, a bidet faucet, toilet paper holder and towel holder in the same finish complete the look. Choosing faucets, shower fittings and accessories in the same finish gives the whole room a consistent metallic look.
Brushed stainless steel, brushed steel and PVD
| Name in title | What does it mean? |
|---|---|
| Stainless steel / Brushed stainless steel | Stainless steel product, often with a brushed surface |
| Brushed steel | Metal look with a fine brushed-line pattern |
| Brushed steel PVD | Some products have a PVD finish; this is mentioned in the title |
| Stainless steel look | Only the appearance is stainless steel; the material may be different, such as a plastic shower hose |
A brushed surface has a soft, satin-like sheen. Fingerprints and water spots are generally less noticeable on it than on polished chrome, making it a practical choice for faucets you touch often.
Stainless steel or chrome: material and appearance
When choosing between a chrome or stainless steel faucet, it mainly comes down to the look you want. Chrome is a shiny finish with a mirror effect; brushed stainless steel looks more matte and metallic. This makes stainless steel a good fit for an industrial or natural bathroom, for example with concrete-look tiles, wood, or a natural stone look. If you prefer a bright, classic look, take a look at our chrome bathroom products too. For a cohesive look, it's best to choose one metal for your faucets, shower, and accessories.
Cleaning a stainless steel faucet
- Clean with mild soapy water or a pH-neutral cleaner and a soft cloth.
- For a brushed surface, wipe in the direction of the grain to keep the pattern even.
- Do not use scouring pads or abrasive cleaners: they leave visible scratches.
- Regularly remove the grate from the shower drain and rinse the hair filter.
- Follow the manufacturer's care instructions for the product.
