Addendum to our Price List No. 8 - March 2009 Sanitaryware ...

General
All Villeroy & Boch baths and shower trays are manufactured from top
quality bathroom acrylic reinforced with glass fibre, or from the unique
Quaryl®. Quaryl® is a synthetic material developed by Villeroy & Boch
which is cast in moulds, therefore very exact designs can be produced. The
synthetic material is coloured all the way through and retains its colour and
shine for many years.
Design
Acrylic and, in particular, Quaryl® can be formed into all sorts of shapes
very easily so that innumerable bathroom designs are possible. There is a
suitable bath for all bathrooms: rectangular, hexagonal, oval or corner bath.
From modern and minimalistic to royal and comfortable with handgrips and
headrests. You will always feel at home in a Villeroy & Boch bath.
Temperature take-up
The material, be it acrylic or Quaryl®, takes on the temperature of the bath
water almost immediately. This has the big advantage that you will not
receive a cold shock when you lie down in the bath or step into the shower.
Heat insulation
Acrylic and Quaryl® conduct heat slowly. Therefore the heat from the bath
water is retained longer. This insulating capacity has the added advantage
that the bath does not have to be continually topped up with hot water.
Maintenance
The surfaces of acrylic and Quaryl® have no pores so they repel bacteria.
Dirt, imescale and soap residue are virtually unable to gain a hold on the
material, so that maintenance is restricted to wiping down with a wet cloth
or sponge and the use of a non-scouring cleanser. We advise you to rinse
out the whirlpool systems once a month with washing soda, particularly if
bath oils are used. Our shower and steam cabins are best be cleaned using
liquid soap. Depending on how often it is used we also advise cleaning the
steam cabin every so often with a suitable polish to retain its shine and dirt
and remains of soap have less chance of sticking to it. When aromatherapy
ethereal oils have been used the steam shower must be thoroughly rinsed
afterwards.
Material
Acrylic and Quaryl® are very durable materials which, when correctly
maintained, keep their colour and shine for many years. Quaryl® is partly
composed of natural materials. One of the characteristics of Quaryl® is
that, in exceptional cases, small irregularities may appear in its structure.
Scratches in acrylic materials are seldom. Naturally light damage or burn
marks can occur, but these can be very easily removed from acrylic by
using fine sandpaper (no. 1000 to 1200) and a small piece of fine steel
wool. After this shining colour surfaces must be further treated with a
car polish compound to reproduce the original lustre. It is also possible
to repair damage to Quaryl®.We advise you to contact our professional
service department if any your Quaryl® product become damaged.
