Quarian baths: features and benefits

 Quarian baths: features and benefits

Not so long ago, the range of bathing products was limited to several bath options. Plumbing manufacturers offered bathtubs made of cast iron, steel, and a little later acrylic products went on sale.

Today, the situation in the plumbing market has changed dramatically. Innovative ways of modern production in conjunction with the imagination of designers presented the world with many new solutions. Among them are quartz baths, the features and advantages of which indicate the high quality of the product.

What it is?

Quarille is a new generation material used for the production of bathtubs and shower tray trays. It is a compound of sand and acrylic.

The structure of the innovative material is as follows: a particle of quartz (a grain of sand) is in a round acrylic shell, and between them everything is filled with acrylic and auxiliary impurities. Sand is used to make the final product more rigid, acrylic - for elasticity, impurities, in turn, affect the color and texture of the product.

Advantages and disadvantages

Quarilla baths can be called the best in all respects, their advantages are indisputable, but, like any product created by man, these products have their pros and cons.

The advantages of quarian baths include several characteristics.

  • Low weight. Quarille is heavier than acrylic, however, it is many times lighter than iron and steel. In general, such a bath is easy to lift and move to the right place by yourself.
  • Excellent thermal conductivity. The bath of the quarian quickly heats up and maintains a pleasant temperature for a person for a long time, while the water in the bathing tank also cools down slowly, due to which there is no need for regular infusion of hot water.
  • Resistant to chemical cleaners. Quarilla baths do not react even to the effect of the most powerful chemical detergents.
  • Large assortment of shapes and colors. Quartile baths are a work of art. Today it is difficult to find two absolutely identical models.
  • Long service life and UV resistance.
  • Resistance to damage. Quarille is a kind of artificial stone, but according to its characteristics it resembles natural. The material is very durable, it is difficult to break and it is equally problematic to leave a scratch even with an abrasive cleaning agent.
  • Ideally smooth surface without the slightest roughness, but at the same time, non-slip.
  • Anti-corrosive and anti-bacterial properties are superior to any other bath material.
  • Easy installation. Installation of a quarian bath can be done by a person without experience and skills. No crates and cushions of brick are required. It is enough to put the product on the legs, adjust them to the level and connect to the water supply and sewerage.
  • Ease of care. On the surface of the quarry does not linger dirt and grease, washed away from the human body.
  • Excellent sound insulation. The surface of the product for hygienic procedures absorbs the sound of flowing water.

disadvantages

Quarilla bath, although it has many positive properties, has some disadvantages.

  • High price. Compared with cast iron, steel and acrylic, quartz bath costs much more.
  • Limited choice due to particular manufacturing process. Despite the large variety of colors, shapes and sizes, quartz baths are made by casting in ready-made forms. This moment makes the choice of forms still limited.
  • The uniqueness of the product. In the case of a quarian, this criterion is negative. At present, only baths and shower trays are made of quarian, which is why a quarian bath is still a unique sanitary product. It is quite difficult to find equal to her in style and color sink and toilet.
  • Despite the simplicity in the care, it is better not to use aggressive cleaning products, which include abrasive components. If you overdo it, you can damage the surface of the container.
  • Quarill material does not tolerate the effects of high temperatures, so if too often water is poured into the bathroom from the quark, it is close in temperature to boiling water, the bath can deform.

Specifications

The standard height of any bath is 65-70 cm; an adult and a child will easily fit in such a container. With a depth of 50-60 cm, you can comfortably keep your head above water. Regarding the length, the choice is in the range of 150-180 cm and depends on the person's height. To take a bath as pleasant as possible, the head must rest on a special rim.

Modern production of baths offers classic sizes for this kind of products:

  • length: 150, 170, 180 cm;
  • width: 70, 75, 80, 85 cm;
  • height: 40, 60, 65 cm.

The most popular models among quarry baths are products with dimensions of 170x70 cm, 180x80, 170x75 cm.

The model range of quarian baths consists of different modifications with different design and parameters, the sizes of products also differ. And all these advantages pay off the high cost of the product.

At the request of customers, bathtubs are equipped with support handles., legs, anti-slip coating, hydro or aero massage system. Capacities from quarail are endowed with high functionality, so the demand for them increases daily.

Subtleties of installation

As a rule, quartz baths are sold without overflow holes, and in some models there is not even a drain hole.This is done by manufacturers deliberately, so that the master himself could choose the most successful option to connect to the sewer system.

All the necessary holes are drilled with a crown with a diamond coating of the desired diameter. If you need to embed handrails or install mixers, then use the same method of drilling. Such painstaking and responsible work is better placed on the shoulders of a professional. As already mentioned, quartz baths do not require the arrangement of auxiliary supports during installation. The frame in this case plays the role of scenery.

Built-in models of baths have special support legs, twisting which, you can adjust the height of the structure.

Installation technology is not much different from the installation of acrylic and steel products:

  • expose the bath on the base previously removed from dust and dirt;
  • using the construction (water) level align the upper plane of the tank in a horizontal position;
  • mounted taps for cold and hot water on the selected side;
  • using plastic adapters that are included in the kit, install a drain-overflow and connect the bath to the sewer pipe;
  • all connections are checked for tightness - for this, the bath is filled with water and left alone for several hours, if there is a leakage - it is necessary to fix it;
  • The front side of the bath (if there is such a need, or so the designer intended) is covered with a decorative panel or decorated with tiles.

Tips and tricks

In the care of the bath from the quartile unpretentious. But for the product to serve properly for many years, you need to adhere to the recommendations of the manufacturer.

What to do if it broke?

The surface of the quarian is so strong that it is almost impossible to damage it: any fallen object will not do any harm. However, after several years of operation, without proper care, restoration of the bath may be necessary. If for any reason there are cracks and chips on the material, the upper layer has broken, then all the damage can be repaired with your own hands.

After reinforcement, a reducing agent is applied to the surface of the bath and allowed to dry.

How to care?

Quartz surfaces are resistant to household chemicals. However, this does not mean that aggressive agents can be used to clean them. Cream-like cleaners can easily cope with their task, without harming the sanitary product. To clean it, it is enough to rinse the bath several times a week with a non-abrasive cleaning agent.The appeared raid and a scum easily are removed table vinegar or special substances. The range of the latter is large enough, and anyone who wants can easily choose the best option.

It is important not to use hard brushes during cleaning. Apart from the fact that they spoil the upper layer of the material, they are also useless, since on a smooth quarry the dirt does not linger well, which means that in order to remove it, it is enough to use a soft rag or sponge.

Manufacturers and reviews

The production technology of the quarian was developed by a German company. Villeroy & boch. Therefore, quarian baths as a new phenomenon in the market of sanitary products, have not yet had time to get widespread. A new direction in the manufacture of the Villeroy & Boch trademark began to be introduced only a few years ago, but by now the supply of sanitary plumbing supplies has already been established in 100 countries of the world.
