Marmorin, like Franklins, is a 3-Generation family company in Poland with over 30 years of experience. Marmorin’s philosophy is centred around quality excellence, attention to detail and the importance of design. Their beautiful products are a reflection of the power of the human mind and modern technology.

‘Cascada’

With a distinct, structural form and textural exterior, this bath will quickly become the centrepiece of your bathroom. Cascada was designed by Jakub Hrab Junior, the son of the owner, Jakub Hrab. The waterfall effect – relating to it’s name ‘Cascada’, is made possible by the special material that Marmorin uses called Mineralicast.

Mineralicast

Mineralicast was developed over 35 years ago and is constantly improved over time. It is one of the most reliable and unique cast materials available. You won’t find baths in New Zealand made from this material anywhere else. The main component of the material is powdered Dolomitic Marble. The powder is made by disintegrating and purifying genuine Dolomitic Marble, which is a metamorphic rock formed by natural transformation and estimated to be over 500 million years old! The powdered Dolomitic Marble is mixed with a dedicated resin creating a strong casting filler. The exclusive sanitary Gelcoat coating for perfect surface finish and performance.

Some of the qualities Mineralicast baths have are:

Void-free and Non-porous
Stain-resistant
Glossy finish
Fully deaerated
Scratch-resistant
Stain-resistant
Easy to clean
Thermal-shock resistant
Surface abrasion resistant
Repairable and renewable surface
Hygienic
Impact-resistant
Warm to touch
UV resistant
