Hello World! Welcome Friends! If you want to greatly enhance the style and luxury in your bathroom, natural stone bathtubs are a perfect idea. Like other installations in the bathroom space, natural stone bathtubs are sold in different shapes, styles, and sizes.
However, this article focuses on everything you need to know about bathtubs, including their unique features. We will also discuss the history of stone tubs and how they are currently produced to ensure they are structurally strong and have an attractive design.
The Origin
The use of natural stone can be traced as far back as 2500 BC in ancient Egypt. According to history, the Egyptians constructed limestone bathroom spaces and asked their servants to pour warm water on them. Evidence shows that, around 1000 BC, people in Crete constructed the first ever freestanding bathtub equipped with a functional plumbing system for water supply and drainage. This bathtub could be washed via clay piping and rainwater.
Natural stone baths have come back today, and many people are demanding them for their bathroom spaces to bring out that distinctive taste and refined design.
Benefits of Natural Stone
In terms of quality, natural stone bathtubs from Hansel Stone rank above acrylic tubs; hence, why the former is the more popular choice. Apart from being more durable, a natural stone bathtub conserves heat about ten times better than an acrylic bathtub, which lowers your overall energy bills. This is because natural stone bathtubs have sufficiently thick walls that give them greater structural strength and insulation qualities.
In addition, natural stone baths are easier to repair than standard baths. This is because natural stone bathtubs are made using a single mould, allowing you to polish and smooth out the scratches and scuffs. Not to mention, natural stone has an authentic and organic touch, which enriches your entire bathroom space.
The Production Process of Natural Stone Baths
Primarily, natural stone tubs are produced from natural stone and mineral resin. At the start of the process, the natural stone undergoes an extractive process to remove any impurities and raise the grade of the stone before it is combined with the special mineral resin. Also, the resin must be put in a high-vacuum environment to get rid of the air and bubbles before the infusion takes place.
A catalyst is introduced into the mixture to speed up the hardening process before the mixture is injected into a mould. Once this step concludes, the upper part of the mould is removed, and the bath is placed in a tunnel oven for three hours. Lastly, the tub must be inspected to remedy any defects before it is polished for no less than ten hours, which is enough to ensure every curve and edge is impeccably smooth.
