A bath from a quartz: pros and cons: properties of a quartz bath.

A bath made of quark is a novelty in the construction market, however, it has already won the trust of customers, and the material is considered unique and has good performance. Further in the article, we consider the advantages and weaknesses of this type of product.

What is a qvar?

Kvaril - development of the European manufacturer Villeroy & Boch.

This is a unique composite material, which is based on:

• silica sand (60%), which provides reliability, wear resistance and rigidity of the finished material;
• acrylic resins: particles of quartz are enclosed in an acrylic shell, and the gaps between the grains are filled with a mixture of acrylic and additional impurities;
• eco-friendly polymer additives (responsible for flexibility at the processing stage).

Initially, the material was created for the repair of plumbing products. After a detailed study of it, they began to make full baths and stands for cabins.

Attention! Bath manufacturers are responsible for the quality of products and establish a guarantee of 10 years.

Properties of the bathtubs

The material is flexible and flexible in processing, which makes it possible to create interesting shapes.. However at the output the product is solid and dense. This extends the installation options and ensures safe reception of hygiene procedures. Wall thickness varies from 8 to 18 mm.

The developer emphasizes the absence of a porous structure, which facilitates surface cleaning. Bathtubs are cast in special matrices. A big plus - they have the same thickness and completely devoid of seams. Special patented additives improve elasticity, sound insulation, give gloss and smoothness, give the material anti-slip characteristics.

Important! Qvar has passed the necessary tests and meets all European safety and environmental standards.

Benefits

Kvarilnogo bath not only took the best of acrylic, but also got rid of some of its imperfections.

Advantages are as follows:

1. Stability and structural strength. The bottom thickness is 25 mm. Does not need to install a power frame.
2. It is possible to create different design optionsd: round, oval, angular, with a beveled side, hexagonal.
3. Low thermal conductivity comparable only with the properties of cast iron products. Water cools slowly, and the surface is pleasant to the touch and always remains warm.
4. Variety of colors.
5. Scratch resistant.
6. Good sound insulation: The sound of running water is almost inaudible.
7. Most species have hydromassage installations.
8. Not afraid of corrosion and household cleaning.
9. Light weightfacilitating transportation and installation work.
10. It is possible to install headrests and other devices to enhance user convenience.

Reference! The material of the bath allows you to install the mixer directly on the side edge.

Flaws

One of the significant disadvantages of these products is their high price., accessible not to all. It is significantly different from similar models from other raw materials. This is due to the fact that there is practically no competition in this segment - they produce only bathtubs in Europe. The material is significantly inferior in strength to steel and cast iron.. However, in domestic conditions it is almost impossible to damage it.

Buyers note that if you often and for a long time leave the bathtub filled with boiling water, then over time it is able to deform. Some modifications do not have a drain hole, therefore, in the set with the product there is a stencil and a nozzle for self-drilling.

Designers see a minus in the fact that it is impossible to choose a set consisting of a bathtub, toilet bowl, sink and bidet from one material. It takes a lot of time to search for items that fit the style. At present, only bathtubs and pallets for booths are massively released from quaril.

Thanks to constantly changing technologies and a large assortment, buyers have the opportunity to choose. Qvar bath is considered an innovative development, which in many ways surpassed its acrylic predecessor. Such a product can last a long time without losing its original appearance.
