Warm to the touch

Bathroomware created from modern materials brings many benefits to the homeowner, including comfort, convenience, health and enduring looks.

Lucite® cast acrylic is a good example of this. It is a highly durable, functional material that is well-suited for use in baths, spas and sinks, says Bill Faulhaber of Lucite International.

"The material is highly versatile, so can be used to create a wide range of deep, contoured baths," says Faulhaber. "Lucite is also warm to the touch, which means leaning against the tub's surface above the waterline is still a pleasant experience."

In terms of health, Lucite offers a non-porous surface and is available with Microban® antimicrobial protection that won't wear away because it forms part of the material. Microban inhibits the growth of bacteria that cause odors and stains.

"The same antimicrobial protection makes the bath's surface easy to clean and means it stays cleaner between cleanings," says Faulhaber.

Lucite is available in a wide selection of colors, including everything from solid shades through to rich luminous effects and natural stone-like finishes, resembling marble and granite.

Lucite is thermally formed, with the color running through it. This avoids any color discrepancies in the bath's surface.
