SHOWERS AND BATHS
Water
Structures manufactures custom designed and standard Roman bathtubs,
whirlpool baths, waterfall baths and showers and Japanese soaking baths.
Our products are finished in any natural quarried marble, onyx, granite
or designer ceramic tile.
Our entire
bathtub collection incorporates state-of-the-art construction and components.
Water Structures' baths are self-supporting, free-standing and seismic
resistant. Each bath is individually tested before leaving our facility.
They are at once functional and visually impressive.
Water
Structures can build to your own unique specifications fitting unusual
spaces. Our bath can be custom fitted to an body size. Submit drawings
and dimensions to us for consultation. We offer unprecedented creative
freedom to the design professional.
WATERFALL
SHOWER
Self-contained
showers and baths can be ordered with recirculating waterfalls. The
Waterfall Shower works by filling a small foot bath at the bottom of
the shower or bath. The water is then pumped through a waterfall outlet
on the wall, or in the ceiling. The system produces 10 to 20 times more
water flow than a standard shower producing an incredibly powerful waterfall
effect. When not in use, the unit serves as a very attractive bath or
shower.
The waterfall
system can be ordered in almost any size. The system conserves water.
A client can enjoy the waterfall shower for as long as they like, using
as little as 40 gallons of water per use.
WHILPOOL
SYSTEMS
Water
Structures' whirlpool systems can be ordered with options, such as heaters
and lighting. We use only state-of-the-art components and control systems
for ultimate safety, convenience and reliability.
And our
exclusive Ten-Year Limited Warranty protects your reputation and peace
of mind.
DISCUSSION
OF SITE-BUILT PRODUCTS
Custom
built baths have often been constructed using protective pans made of
copper, metal sheet or plastic liner. Without these protective pans,
water would eventually work its way past the interior surfaces, causing
a major leak. There are some historical problems with metal and liner
pans which are discussed below.
HIDDEN
LEAKAGE
Copper,
vinyl, or metal sheet liners are easily damaged during the construction
process. These liners are made of thin material with weak joints. Hidden
damage can occur well after a liner and its piping are tested. Liner
pans are labor intensive to install with many different contractors
working on the unit. Damage occurring to the pan is not usually visible
so it is impossible to tell which sub-contractor was working on the
unit when the damage was done. A leak in a liner or pan does not appear
until the water migrates past the surface, a process that usually take
6 months or more, long after the sub-contractors have been paid. These
liners are impossible to repair without destroying the bath or spa and
starting over!
PIPING
The weakest point in a metal pan or liner is the place where a pipe
passes through it. These pipes can be drains or recirculation fittings.
The more through-wall connections the more likely a leak. Through-wall
connections can be easily damaged during construction. Piping connection
leaks are usually hidden and can not be fixed without destroying the
unit which surrounds them.
LONG
TERM
Copper and vinyl can be damaged over time due to the caustic environments
they occupy. Copper liners can be eaten by the chemicals in cement.
Plastic liners can be stretched due to the heat and chemicals in the
water.
WATER
STRUCTURES FIBERGLASS/FIBERCEMENT SHELL
Water Structures manufactures a uni-bodied fiberglass/fibercement shell
which is far superior to any site-built product. The Water Structures'
shell is made from reinforced fiberglass. The exterior is chemically
bonded to a fibercement interior surface in the molding process. Because
the interior of this uni-boded product is Portland fibercement, it will
accept tile adhesive easily. The exterior of the shell is made of fiberglass
which is both durable, waterproof and allows for the double manifolding
of through-wall pipe fitting.
WATER
STRUCTURE PROVEN DEPENDABILITY
Water Structures' staff has thirteen years of experience building custom
baths, fountains and other water features. Each Water Structures' bath
is handcrafted by our experienced craftsman. When you order a Water
Structures' bath you get the advantage of a single-source product from
an experienced manufacturer. Each shell come with a Water Structures'
Limited Ten-Year No-Leak warranty.
LIABILITY
REDUCTION
The labor and material that go into making a custom tile or natural
bath can be substantial. The cost to remove a custom bath and replace
it is even higher than the original cost. Water Structures' baths provide
you with the best protection possible from indeterminate leakage.
