Choosing a material is not just an aesthetic decision, but also a decision to ensure maximum durability and functionality over time. We are committed to making the service life of our coloured shower trays as long as technically possible as a principle of sustainability right from the product design phase.
Colour durability is one of the most important concerns. Keeping them looking like new for longer will ensure that the bathrooms that accompany them remain new-looking for a long time. Mcbath coloured shower trays stand out for their strength and longevity, guaranteeing impeccable and long-lasting aesthetics in any bathroom environment.
Innovation in shower tray colours
The key to the colour durability of our Acrystone® materials, such as shower trays, panels or countertops, lies in the fact that the colour is applied in the resin of the Life Coat layer, pigmented in its mass: a thick layer of gel coat that covers the top of the material.
Our gel coats are ISO NPG, which provides excellent mechanical, hydrolysis and weather resistance. This results in colour durability and superior resistance to everyday conditions.
Rigorous quality testing on the Life Coat layer
At mcbath, we carry out extensive internal and external testing to ensure the durability of our gel coats.
- Externally, we follow the points of the 14527:2006 standard for CE certification, including chemical resistance tests.
- Internally, we carry out additional tests with everyday products and evaluations of colour changes after hot-cold temperature cycles.
Our gel coats pass all internal and external quality control tests with flying colours, confirming their strength and durability.
Benefits of ISO NPG gel coats on coloured shower trays
Compared to other types of coatings, ISO NPG gel coats offer superior resistance to harsh environmental conditions and chemicals, ensuring colour longevity and material integrity.
1. Weathering and hydrolysis resistance
The formulation of our ISO NPG gel coats is designed to offer high resistance to the most adverse environmental conditions. This ensures that the colour of the shower trays remains vibrant and consistent over time, even in environments with high humidity or constant exposure to water.
2. Colour stability
With the pigmented resin of the gel coat layer, our shower trays not only retain their colour but also resist discolouration and stains caused by chemicals or sudden changes in temperature. This feature is essential to maintain the aesthetics of the bathroom without the need for constant maintenance.
3. Sustainability and quality
At mcbath, we are not only committed to durability and quality, but also to sustainability. Our products are designed to last, reducing the need for frequent replacement and contributing to waste reduction. We use resins with recycled PET content, which reinforces our commitment to the environment.
Mcbath coloured shower trays not only embellish the bathroom space with their character, customisability and range of colours (from the neutrals available in all our collections to the vibrant colours of the Cotton collection), but also guarantee a long-term investment thanks to the high quality and resistance of the materials used.
