Armitage Shanks, a company with a 150-year history, produces sanitary ware in Staffordshire. The process begins with sourcing powdered clay from Cornwall, which is mixed with water, sand, and sodium silicate to create liquid clay, or slip. This slip is molded into toilets using high-pressure machines, and robots carefully remove the newly formed pieces. The toilets undergo a drying process, are glazed with three coats of white glaze, and finally fired in a kiln at 1200 degrees. This meticulous three-day process ensures the toilets are durable and ready for use.
