When we refer to stone baths, we are reffering to composite baths made from a ground rock (stone) material and combined with other chemicals to create a strong stone like material that can be poured into moulds. Stone baths are not made from a single piece of rock.
Composite stone baths are made by combining crushed stone, usually marble or granite, with a binding resin to create a strong, durable material that can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes. The process involves several steps, which are as follows:
Mixing the Ingredients: The first step in making a composite stone bath is mixing the crushed stone with the binding resin. The ratio of stone to resin can vary depending on the desired strength and durability of the final product.
Molding: Once the ingredients are mixed, the composite material is poured into a mold. The mold is usually made from fiberglass or acrylic and is designed to the specific shape and size of the bath.
Curing: After the mold is filled with the composite material, it is left to cure for several hours. The curing time can vary depending on the size and thickness of the bath, as well as the ambient temperature and humidity.
Demolding: Once the bath has cured, the mold is removed, and the bath is carefully demolded. The bath is then inspected for any imperfections or defects.
Finishing: The final step in making a composite stone bath is finishing. This involves smoothing out any rough edges or imperfections in the surface of the bath. The bath may also be polished to enhance its shine and beauty.
Composite stone baths have several advantages over natural stone baths. They are lighter in weight, making them easier to install and handle. They are also more durable and resistant to chips, scratches, and stains. In addition, composite stone baths can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes, allowing for more design flexibility.
Composite stone baths are made by mixing crushed stone with a binding resin, molding the material into a specific shape, curing the bath, demolding it, and finishing it. The resulting bath is a strong, durable, and beautiful addition to any bathroom.
