AUSTRAIN PROJECT

We love to do out of the ordinary creations both for our retail clients and commercial. It was not that long ago, on a cold winters day, we had a call from a client in Austria, Mr. Hubert. It gets just a bit colder there, up in those mountains. He expressed interest in our double slipper cast iron baths for his skiing lodges high in the alps where those mountain peaks almost touches the skies and sparkling snowflakes glisten as they fall. He said, "things are always cheaper in the U.K."
Our friend Huwi purchased dozens of double slipper cast iron baths from us, but he needed something special for the adventurous clientele, who would love to sip their drinks without getting the lips wet while bathing in a hot tub watching those impressive snowy white ranges.
He needed 16 hot tubs, but made especially for him, nothing in the market would do and there was a deadline to meet, he had to open for pre-Christmas Bookings. He came to us searching for possibilities to use acrylic tubs, but everything that was on the market seemed undiscerning by far. Thus, we mention stone resin. And told him, "if you design it we can build it. And we can do it cheaper than anyone else in Europe and faster!" Oops! What we did not realize it was so big and so heavy. Could we do it? Built with our partners in Asia and transported to Austria via Germany on two massive trailers within 8-10 weeks? Half a ton in weight and the largest bath our partner has ever made! Fly me to Asia!
From a concept to a drawing to reality! So, once in a while our friend Huwi will phone us, when he has something difficult that no else can do, he calls the Boys & Gals in Bathroom Warehouse. And there are other stories to unfold.
Stone Resin 500kg weight! Did not cost the world only tiny part of it!
