Know More about Cultured Marble Products

 

Remodeling expert David Pinsley is the vice president/senior designer/sales executive for First Rate Renovations, Inc. and Cultured Marble Products in San Leandro, California, serving the Bay Area. According to him, if you want something in your bathroom that looks like marble but is cheaper, stronger and easier to take care of, then cultured marble products may be what you are looking for.

 

Cultured marble products are man-made products that can be used to form a variety of bathroom fixtures such as bathtubs and accessories too. The product is made from a cast polymer that is made from calcium carbonate, which in other words is limestone. You take limestone that has been ground up and purified in its powder form, and you mix that with a resin and a hardener. It is then poured into a mold and the product that comes out is called cultured marble.

 

Off-White

Cultured marble is off-white in its natural state. You can either have no color added to it or add standard colors, such as blue, brown, almond, yellow – any color you can possible imagine or a combination of those colors. We just put in a dash of color and then we manufacture it, and it ends up with a beautiful swirl.

 

Flexible

Cultured marble can be in virtually any shape, depending on the type of mold we pour it into when it is being manufactured. It is much more flexible than stone thanks to this molding process, and can be made into a variety of things, therefore adapting itself to a variety of uses.

 

Strong and Durable

Cultured marble does not look like marble, rather like a slab of white material somebody took and swirled some color into and made it look like a piece of marble. While marble will cost more, cultured marble is actually stronger and holds up better under normal wear and tear. Its outer layer is covered with a gel coat after it is poured, which makes it strong and durable. It becomes resistant to chips and is easy to take care of, which is why it is so popular in the bathroom. It also makes the need for grout and its resultant care redundant.

 

Widely Used

On the other hand, the gel coat on cultured marble does not respond well to extreme heat, which is why we don’t use it to make countertops. You don’t want to put a hot pot on top of it, and it also can scratch easily. It is not, therefore, ideal for a surface where you would be cutting things or there is a potential for scratches, such as in the kitchen. But that does not mean there is not a wide scope for cultured marble products. Bathtubs, bases of showers, vanity tops and some wall panels can all be made well from cultured marble, as well as desk accessories and planters.

 

At First Rate Renovations, we offer products and services to fit any budget. We have our own factory and make all of our cultured marble products there. We are sure you’ll be delighted with any of them.
