About the Company

The main aim of the project is to design and develop a new cushioned and safer standing surface for shower trays. The soft touch shower tray will enable Classic Marble to introduce an innovative product into the bathroom sector which will provide improvements over existing shower trays in terms of slip resistance, comfort and thermal insulation. The soft touch shower tray will consist of a: 1 Soft interface 2 Foam core, 3 Rigid backing, The key aspect of this concept is to have a tough flexible material, which will not undergo embrittlement over a 10 to 15 year period. The material would have to be UV stable, wear resistance and soft to the touch. In addition, careful consideration would be paid to the design of the interface which may entail contour.
