Bathco presented its Iron Collection at Cevisama 2020. The new Iron Collection line is manufactured entirely in a foundry in Cantabria (Spain) with metal raw materials and enamels free of heavy metals that comply with REACH – EU regulations that aim to improve the protection of human health and the environment against the risks that chemicals may present.
The Iron Collection’s main component is iron, which makes this collection of washbasins a highly resistant and fully recyclable product. The company was looking for an innovative material that at the same time was respectful of the environment.
Bathco’s research and development team paid special attention to the fact the corrosion resistance of cast iron is comparable to that of steel. Bathco spent months of research and development of the application of cast iron to the bathroom.
Bathco presented the collection under the slogan # ToReturntotheLandthatWhichBelongstoit – a declaration of intent that perfectly summarises this new collection of 100% recyclable washbasins.
With iron being a hard and dense but malleable material, this gives the ability to create curved shapes that become washbasins such as the Begursa and Ribera. Begursa is an oval countertop washbasin measuring 460mm x 320mm x 170mm while the Ribera countertop washbasin is circular and measures 400mm x 160mm.
In addition to the natural finish of dark grey iron, these washbasins are also enamelled after a process at temperatures above 810ºC following traditional manufacturing. This process consists of a double-layer enamel, the first one of adhesion and the second one of colour giving rise to a cream-coloured iron washbasin adaptable to any type of environment.
The washbasins are also able to be decorated. Artisans are able to decorate with decals offering innovative pieces that combine tradition and modernity.
