Bathing is a sensory experience, and a bath in wooden tubs is a small luxury for intense relaxation that you, too, will surely enjoy being pampered by. Wood spreads a distinctly calming atmosphere; it is natural, comfortable, and safe. Every solid wood tub is unique; wood has such a vast number of variations in color and texture that the sight of it continues to fascinate again and again. Over the years, the wood's color tone intensifies, giving tubs and sinks even more charm.
If you choose products made of solid wood, you are opting for a particularly environmentally friendly material. Wood has excellent thermal properties, and the water cools only minimally even after a longer time. Based on the special construction of the tub, there is a favorable ratio between the surface area of the water and the volume. Additional pleasant properties are related to the thermal conductivity and thermal capacity of the wood.
Wooden tubs, sinks, and shower cabins are made only from solid wood that has been surface-treated on both sides and treated with high-quality hygienically transparent coatings or colorless wax oils based on plants. These products are constructed as freestanding furniture, which can be placed independently, thus maximizing your creative space.
Even with all the positive properties of wood, much expertise and experience are necessary to create high-quality products intended for bathrooms that require minimal maintenance. The manufacturer's experience stems from over a hundred years of producing water containers from solid wood. Wood has specific properties that must be unconditionally considered during production. The untreated wood absorbs moisture from hygroscopic materials, which it can also release. When absorbing moisture, wood swells, and this occurs differently in length, width, and thickness for the processed piece. This is referred to as the anisotropy of wood.
Therefore, there are fundamental rules that must be followed:
The wood must go through a mandatory two-year acclimatization and be carefully and uniformly dried to optimal moisture before processing.
The wood must be coated with a high-quality sealing coating that prevents moisture absorption to the highest possible extent.
Only under these strict conditions can high-quality waterproof wooden products with a long lifespan be achieved, which are enjoying great success worldwide.
The surface treatment of wooden bathroom products is particularly significant. On one hand, it must protect the wood from moisture, and on the other hand, it must exhibit excellent hygienic properties and be pleasant to the skin. Transparent hygienic sealing coating is non-toxic and highly resistant to higher temperatures, chemicals, and the anisotropy of wood. A good hygienic property can be defined by being categorized in the "very good" class, which expresses the ability for decontamination according to DIN 25415. Transparent hygienic sealing is not suitable for outdoor placement due to UV radiation. Another alternative to hygienically sealable surfaces is the treatment of the surface with natural wax oil, which serves as a protection for the wood, contains no organic biocides, and acts preventively against blue stain and decay.
Care for these products does not require any special agents. The same cleaning agents as for other sanitary acrylic products are used to clean transparently hygienically sealed wood. We recommend wiping the tubs with a dry cloth after use to prevent the accumulation of dirt and limescale. For products treated with natural wax oil, it is recommended to use plant soap for cleaning. This is only lightly rubbed in and then washed off with a sufficient amount of clean water.
These products are available in the following options: larch, kambala, beech, cherry, walnut, teak, wenge… Tubs also with the option of installing whirlpool systems.
