Why does one bath material feel warm and inviting, while another feels cold and unwelcoming? The answer lies in the material’s ability to conduct and retain heat.
Physics tells us that different materials can feel very different to the touch, even when they are at exactly the same temperature. The reason is not only the temperature of the material itself, but how quickly it transfers heat away from your body. Metal feels colder because it conducts heat away from your skin very quickly. Wood, on the other hand, feels warmer and more pleasant because its thermal conductivity is lower.
This same principle is at the heart of the material development behind Balteco Xonyx™ baths. When the body comes into contact with Xonyx™, the material creates a pleasantly warm, silky and premium sensation that makes the bathing experience feel more luxurious. Thanks to its carefully developed composition, the Xonyx™ surface does not feel cold or harsh, but warm, smooth and welcoming.
Balteco uses a solid surface material with unique properties to manufacture Xonyx™ cast stone baths and other Xonyx™ products. More than fifteen years have gone into developing this material. The result of years of dedication and innovation is a special SPS-based solution — Slow Polymerization System — which combines material composition and production technology in a way that gives the Xonyx™ surface its distinctive strength, durability and silky feel.
Produced using advanced technology, Xonyx™ solid surface combines the strength of natural minerals with the special properties of resins and acrylic compounds. The result is a monolithic cast stone material with an especially durable outer surface, while maintaining a delicately silky and warm feel. Beyond its elegant form and luxurious finish, Xonyx™ delivers what customers truly want from a bath: long-lasting comfort, quality and enjoyable warmth.
The satin finish of Xonyx™ products gives the surface a low-sheen matte glow that feels timeless and elegant. At the same time, the material has excellent cleaning properties, bringing together beauty, practicality and durability.
In addition to beautiful design and functionality, what truly matters is how a bath feels when you step into it, how the surface feels against the skin, and how long the water stays pleasantly warm during bathing. The special added value of Balteco Xonyx™ baths lies in the fact that Xonyx™ is not merely aesthetic — it is an engineering-driven material designed to provide the highest level of comfort. It reflects the quality created by Balteco’s development team, appreciated internationally and exported worldwide.
Balteco Xonyx™ baths are not just baths — they are the result of design, engineering and material science, creating a bathing experience that is luxurious, durable and pleasantly warm in every touch.
