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 – 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.
