The exclusive range of freestanding acrylic design bathtubs
To guarantee our rigorous quality standards, Knief & Co.’s Aqua Plus® collection is manufactured exclusively in Europe bearing the ISO 9001 quality management certificate in production. All Aqua Plus® bathtubs are made of cross linked Lucite® cast acrylic (compliant with EN 263). The fully imbued material is characterized by brilliant color consistency, a warm and gentle surface feel, highest stability at minimum weight, as well as extreme durability. Lucite®-sanitary acrylic is UV-resistant and environmentally friendly due to its recyclability. The absolutely smooth non-porous surface structure reduces lime deposit and bacterial build-up, making Aqua Plus® tubs easy to care for and very hygienic. Scratch resistance is another advantage of Aqua Plus® tubs’ premium material. In the unlikely event of damage, the bathtub is easily repaired and looks as good as new. All Aqua Plus® tubs are double-shelled and supra reinforced, resulting in an overall wall thickness of up to 45 mm. The outer and inner walls of freestanding models are firmly joined to form a homogenous tub body.
