Introducing Halite 100% waterproof bath panels from Aquarius Bathrooms. Unlike wooden bathroom products, Halite is 100% water resistant. When a wood based material like MDF is used, the surface is painted but over time the paint has a tendency to crack. Without its protective covering the MDF core quickly absorbs moisture causing swelling and softening. Halite is much lighter in weight than MDF. MDF has been banned in the United States as it contains formaldehyde that has been linked to certain types of cancer. Halite is free from formaldehyde and is also easier to recycle which means it is more environmentally friendly than MDF. Acrylic products, although light, are considerably less durable than Halite, are harder to cut accurately and can easily crack or warp out of shape. Halite is also more scratch and scuff resistant than acrylic. The current range of Halite shaker products includes two different sizes of straight front bath panels and two sizes of matching end panels. Each of the products in the Halite range are subtly branded with the Halite logo. All our products are securely packed and have undergone rigorous quality control checks to make sure they conform to environmental test criteria.
