Antislip

The high natural mineral content provides strength, durability, slip resistance and natural thermo-insulation

Thermal insulation

The thermo-insulating properties of the material permit less energy consumption to warm up the bath water and provide a higher level of heat retention than acrylic based products

UV resistant

WETMAR BiO™ is non-porous, stain-resistant, UV resistant, easy to clean, renewable, hygienic and much more solid yet pleasant to the touch than pure plastic (acrylic) based materials

Repairable

Scratches and abrasions can be easily sanded and buffed out returning product to its original lustre

Seamless

One seamless part, no joints or seams for water to escape or leak

Lightweight

The proprietary blend of light weight ingredients improve thermo-shock performance over competing products and add improved flame retardancy while simultaneously decreasing overall weight to size ratio of the product (notable for projects)


How it’s made

Molding – The WETMAR BiO™ material is poured into the mold under vacuum to remove air voids and ensure consistent material quality.

Curing – The WETMAR BiO™ cures for 6-8 hours.

De-Molding – The cured part is removed from the
mold.

Rough Finishing – The flashing is removed from the part, feet and levelers added.

Fine Finishing – The part is finished by hand using a process of sequential sanding and polishing to produce a true high gloss part or continual sanding for matte finishes, a process that requires relentless attention to detail.

  • A tub can take about 3-6 hours to finish by hand.
  • A sink takes approximately 1-2 hours to finish by hand.
Water test

Water Test – Each tub is tested before it is packaged.

Packaging & Shipping – WETSTYLE crates each tub using 2×2 wood reinforcements and custom designed skids to minimize transport damage.


The WETSTYLE Difference

It is characterized by a mirror like luster and a blemish-free surface that is a trademark of WETSTYLE product detail.

Fine Finishing

Fine finishing requires relentless attention to detail.

Relentless attention to the finest details in design and part quality is a trademark of WETSTYLE and a differentiator.

One Person, One Part !

A WETSTYLE lavatory, vessel sink or soaking bathtub always has one artisan or skilled tradesman tending to one part at a time

One person, one part from start to finish promotes consistency in quality and productivity
