What is a Resin Bathtub?
Resin bathtubs also known as stone resin or solid surface bathtubs are manufactured from engineered or man-made materials. They are made from a composite of real stones, polymer resin and natural minerals. The stones are crushed and then bound together by the resin and minerals. The resulting compound is 100% non-porous and therefore unaffected by moisture or humidity thus making it an ideal material for bathtubs.
Resin Bathtub Style
These tubs are extremely popular due to their clean look and mostly modern vibe. Buyers can select between a more subdued matte finish or a shinier glossy look. The color is consistent throughout and most of our tubs include a neutral white drain to blend in with the tub's finish. These tubs are available in oval, rectangular and other shapes, enabling the buyer to select their preferred look. Specific tub models are geared toward those preferring extra-wide, or extra-deep soaking tubs. We have models that are manufactured in both the USA and Italy.
