European Composite Bath Delivers Elegance and Practicality

“This makes the baths extremely hard and durable which is important when you consider baths are constantly coming into contact with powerful cleaning agents. However, the addition of an anti-bacterial layer on the surface makes the product very easy to clean.

“A major bonus is that this surface is resistant to cosmetics and doesn’t blemish when a product like hair dye, lipstick or nail polish accidentally lands on it.”Newtech’s National Sales Manager, Marcus Wycherley says, “While the stone gives it the structure and durability, combining it with a special resin creates finesse and allows the baths to be moulded into myriad shape possibilities.”

Seven different designs are available in gloss and matte finishes, from classic egg shapes to contemporary ovals, ovals with curved edges and profiles, freestanding designs to handsome slipper baths. All are on display in Newtech’s Auckland showroom.

At the end of the manufacturing process, a resin is applied to the external surface of the baths which is the same coating used to protect yacht holds and places exposed to elements of wind and water.

For users, it’s also good to know that it’s easily repairable. In the unlikely event that something traumatic happens to cause minor chips or defects, these can simply be removed by the home owner who can use a repair kit that Newtech makes available.

Unlike some baths, the composite maintains a constant water temperature as it doesn’t suck the heat from the water. The surface of the bath always stays pleasant to touch and never feels cold.

Another aspect to consider when purchasing a bath, the two elements of stone and resin make the shape very stable, so it doesn’t bow under the weight of the water within it, states Marcus.

Because the product places such emphasis on quality and durability, Newtech is pleased to be able to offer a 10 year guarantee on all Stonecast Mineral Composite baths.

All of these benefits ensure the baths are a vastly superior top end product. 

“The Kiwi designer market will be pleased to see that these are only priced at about twice the cost of an acrylic bath”

Marcus adds that Newtech has a fantastic range of baths and basins at affordable pricing in stock.

“We are well-known for our quick delivery, high stock levels and great service.

“In the Stonecast range, 20 colours can be sourced on request. Although we don’t have the full colour range in the showroom. Some of these must be shipped from Europe so they do require longer lead times.”
