ECO SENSITIVE BATHWARE by APAISER
Bathrooms are emerging as a core opportunity for designers, developers and builders to create a more eco aware environment as we embrace the global trend of environmental sensitivity.
There is a growing focus on the use of natural materials and inputs that remove chemicals and artificial elements from this most personal of spaces. Eco-aware designers are selecting reclaimed and recycled material such as reclaimed marble in stone composites, to bring back natural materials to the bathroom without having to use new materials to manufacture their products.
Apaiser bathware is a leader in these emerging eco aware products, using reclaimed marble and stone with low levels of binding agents and constituents, to create environmentally aware bathware.
This trend of using eco aware products is seeing the reintroduction of stone and timber to the bathing space provided it is ecologically sensitive along with the removal of chemically derived materials, as well as those that consume energy and new materials.
Apaiser bathware uses reclaimed marble as its core ingredient, the waste or by product of quarrying new marble, binding it with resin and polymers at low levels. Apaiser bathware is also able to reduce water consumption and energy by the use of added resins to their stone composite, which helps retain the heat in water longer than conventional bathware, this reducing both energy and water consumption.
Acrylic baths or other bathware materials using significant levels of chemicals are being rejected as acceptable materials by discerning developers and designers. Products being removed from new bathrooms include Corian (100% chemical) and other chemically derived materials.
Apaiser is a world-leading custom manufacturer of bathware that is produced from reclaimed natural marble. Unlike typical Corian, acrylic and terrazzo-based offerings, Apaiser products are highly organic and are produced using a minimal carbon footprint. Apaiser embraces the following sustainability initiatives:
– All water used is drawn from local wells
– Electricity consumption is minimalized – all moulds are produced by hand
– Manual sanding eliminates need for washing finished products down with chemicals
– Crate packaging is made from reclaimed wood
– All hiring takes place from a 10km radius
– All marble is sourced from quarries located within a 20km radius – significantly minimising quarry waste and reducing landfill
The above initiatives and a patented manufacturing process, result in stunning bathware that is tactile, eco-friendly and highly functional. Apaiser material has thermal properties that reduces the need for “top up” of water and features lightweight technology – critical for historic building conversions with weight bearing restrictions. Furthermore, Apaiser material is virtually non-porous and scratch resistant.
Apaiser is at the forefront of the world’s trend to using Eco – sensitive bathware. To explore the range of stone bathware by Apaiser, visit the site http://www.apaiser.com.au
