What is the Krion® ?

Krion® is a material developed by System Pool, a company of the Porcelanosa Group. This material is made from 3 components, the main one being natural stone dust which allows it to resemble real natural stones such as granite, marble or quartz. This stone dust is mixed with acrylic resin, which is what gives Krion® solid surface its unique advantages. Finally, to obtain a solid surface with a different colour, a small percentage of colour pigment is added to these two components.

Krion® properties

Krion® is today an essential material in the world of bathrooms, ideal for the manufacture of washbasins, furniture or shower trays, it is also used to design baths.

Anti-slip material

Getting out of the bath can be difficult and dangerous. Krion® solid surface bathtubs are equipped with an anti-slip surface that prevents any risk of falls, which could be serious for people with reduced mobility or for young children.

Antibacterial material

Krion® is a non-porous and anti-fungal material. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, it is particularly suitable for wet rooms such as the bathroom, a room where micro-organisms are very present.

An intense whiteness

The solid surface bathtubs are available in white to bring purity and a bright appearance to your home.

Fire resistance

Krion® products are highly resistant to fire. In fact, they can be considered completely fireproof, as indicated in UNE-EN 13 501, a standard that classifies construction materials. It is classified as B S1 D0 y B1, which means that it reacts little to the presence of fire and does not allow fires to spread.

An ecological product

Krion® is one of the only materials used in the manufacture of baths that can be recycled and reused. Systempool, a subsidiary of the Porcelanosa Group, is very committed to CSR and to preserving our environment, their values are the same as those of Vascoplan. Zero waste is applied during the entire production process for all Krion® models. Then the products at the end of their life are also treated in order to manufacture new models.

With Krion® your bathtub has never been so easy to maintain, because a simple wipe with a sponge is enough to remove the marks left by your visit to the bath. If your bathtub is marked, it can be easily restored to its original appearance with the krion® maintenance kit.

Low weight

Solid surface is lighter than natural stone such as granite, marble, porcelain or other building materials. This is due to its much lower density. Your bathtub is lighter, and much easier to install.

An invisible joint

With Solid Surface, enjoy a bathtub without any visible joints. With the action of a two-component glue developed with the same formula used to manufacture the solid surface, it is possible to make glues that will make the joint invisible and non-porous. There is therefore NO possibility for bacteria and fungi to take hold.
