A thin layer of a patented coating technique insulates the welded metal tub more efficiently than conventional insulating foam, and provides new possibilities for design and construction. The bathtub consists of multiple welded stainless steel sheets, forming a crystalline appearance, and communicates the bathtub’s classy claim.
