Sustainable Alloys

September 23, 2020

Stronger than marble, enamelled titanium steel, flawlessly finished with the famous wafer-thin BetteGlaze®, masterfully moulded, exceptionally resilient, warrantied for 30 years, expected to endure for almost an eternity. The surface is tougher than marble stone, superior to acrylic in every way, with greater strength than steel alone — scratchproof, hygienically non-porous and permanently UV-resistant. A wet-in-wet enamelling process, perfected over decades,  permanently binds three ultra-thin layers of a proprietary formula to the titanium steel form fired twice at 850° Celsius, producing a uniquely smooth surface for baths, basins, and shower trays. The property of glass and the freedom of form and integrity of titanium steel.

High-Tech and Hand Finished

Sophisticated designs made possible by one-of-a-kind moulding techniques—the steel isn’t stretched but smoothed into shape with a force of 800 tonnes to achieve the greatest degree of precision and a particularly low, uniform steel thickness.

The basic form is then configured by cropping according to the dimensions and finishing the outer edges individually. An automated serial production line can handle more than 600 different colours and numerous additional features. 

Premium Steel Alloy

Highest-quality fixtures made from premium steel-titanium alloys in a special thermoforming process—superior craftsmanship, clean lines, precision details, elegant and fluent form.

Made to Order

Essentially endless options essentially on demand — an efficient, automated, serial production process offers around 35 million designs, dimensions and colours ex works in short order. An extensive portfolio is extended further when each element is semi-customized, individually configured for size, surface options, finish choice, and accessorized to suit. Bespoke designs and product development for projects are manufactured by hand.

Titanium Steel

Titanium Steel.jpg

Hygienics

The glass-hard, non-porous surface of BetteGlaze® renders dirt and bacteria unable to adhere and the material highly superior to softer surfaces such as acrylic, ceramic, and stone with respect to hygiene.

01_Material.jpeg

Impact

Impact resistance is in the strength of the ultra-thin BetteGlaze® surface. Like glass fibre, flexible and resilient to the usual forces found.

02_Material.jpeg

Heat

Ideally conductive the enamelled titanium-steel alloy quickly absorbs and retains heat.

image.jpeg

Strength

Stronger than stone, steel and acrylic — the surface is scratch resistant and nearly impossible to damage.

04_Material.jpeg

Silence

Quiet features keep the noise down. Clever installation systems reduce the transmission of sound between the fixture and the surroundings.


05_Material.jpeg

Chemical Resistance

Cosmetics, bath additives, even nail polish won’t leave a mark.

06_Material.jpeg

Heat Resistance

Fireproof and non-flammable. Even a burning candle will not damage the surface.

07_Material.jpeg

UV Resistance

The smooth glaze is colour-fast and light-fast. Even after many years, the surface will still be as bright and shiny as it started out.

John Crowe Ransom’s Quarrel with Himself The Hudson Review Spring 2016 (Volume LXIX, No. 1) Robert Archambeau — "Almost thirty years ago, Ransom’s biographer Thomas Daniel Young spoke of the urgent need for a variorum edition of Ransom’s poetry, and only now, with the appearance of Ben Mazer’s Collected Poems of John Crowe Ransom, do we have one. It is a shame that it took so very long for someone to answer Young’s call, but it is a boon to all who care for
Ransom’s work that Mazer was the one to do so: his scrupulously
edited book includes all of Ransom’s textual variants in detailed
end notes."
