Acquabella’s Akron is a versatile and durable material, ideal for architects and interior designers aiming to create stand-out bathroom spaces. This innovative material combines aesthetic appeal with practical functionality, ensuring every bathroom renovation project stands out.
Akron® is a composite of high-quality mineral fillers and polyurethane. These materials undergo a process that combines and compacts to create a solid, reinforced mass, offering great impact resistance. It guarantees hydrolysis resistance properties, preventing damage when it comes into contact with water. Its surface is treated with a coating to ensure a total physical-chemical integration with the base. This coating provides excellent chemical and physical properties and does not emit air-polluting organic compounds, earning it the A+ certificate.
One of the standout benefits of Akron® is its durability. The combination of resin and high-quality mineral fillers makes it highly resistant to cracks and scratches. In the event of any damage, Akron® is easily repairable, significantly extending its lifespan.
Furthermore, Akron® ensures extra safety as it is 100% silica-free and boasts the highest level of anti-slip properties (Class 3). Its textured surface offers a robust grip, reducing the risk of slips and falls, making it particularly suitable for families with young children or elderly members.
Hygiene is another key aspect of Akron®. Its antibacterial properties prevent the growth of microorganisms and mould, thereby avoiding unpleasant odours and potential health issues. Additionally, as a non-porous and seamless material, Akron® does not accumulate dirt, making it incredibly easy to clean and maintain.
Akron® also offers design versatility as it is available in various shapes, sizes, and colours. Customisation possibilities are endless, with eight different textures ranging from the Slate texture to the modern Quiz texture, as well as a palette of over 2,000 colours, from neutral tones to vibrant hues. Akron® can be found in all of the company’s product lines, including shower trays, countertops, sinks, bathtubs, wall panels, and other accessories.
The quality of Akron® products has been recognised by numerous international juries, awarding accolades to products such as the Smart Quiz and Tempo Arabba shower trays, as well as the Opal Quiz and Noon Slate bathtubs.
