How Acrylic Basins Are Made: Our Production Process

Redokss San production technology — quality proven over the years
Over-the-washer basins, bathtubs and shower trays made with reinforced cast acrylic are strong, durable products that combine the look of an acrylic surface with high mechanical strength from the reinforcing layers. This method is widely used in the sanitaryware industry thanks to its optimal balance of price, quality and durability.
The Redokss San production process includes the following stages
1. Making the mold (matrix)
To build the matrix mold, the approved 3D model is machined by high-precision milling on modern CNC equipment. This produces master models with perfect geometry and a high level of detail, ready for further shaping and the production of composite products.
After machining, the model is finished and coated with a special layer of materials to form the matrix.
2. Applying the reinforcing layers
First layer — chopped-strand glass mat (crushed fiberglass bound together). It gives the structure its rigidity.
Second layer — polyester resin. Impregnating the glass mat with polyester resin creates a strong bond and improves the product's mechanical properties.
Additional layers of fiberglass — depending on the strength required, several layers of fiberglass cloth or mat impregnated with polyester resin may be applied.
3. Curing and finishing
Once all layers are applied, the product is placed in a heat chamber or left at room temperature to cure. During curing, the polyester resin hardens into a single, durable structure.
The product is then removed from the mold. Machining follows: sanding the edges, polishing, and drilling holes for the siphon and faucet.
Benefits of reinforced cast acrylic
1. High strength
The multi-layer construction makes the basins resistant to impact and load.
2. Durability
Polyester resin and fiberglass form a solid base that resists cracking and deformation.
3. Flawless surface
The gelcoat gives a glossy, smooth, pore-free surface that prevents bacteria growth and is easy to maintain.
4. Resistant to moisture and chemicals
The materials aren't affected by water, temperature changes or household cleaners.
5. Variety of shapes and designs
The technology allows complex shapes and flowing lines that suit modern interiors.
Conclusion
Redokss San sanitaryware made with reinforced cast acrylic is an excellent choice, combining strength, durability and an attractive finish. It resists moisture, chemicals and mechanical damage, and thanks to the gelcoat its surface stays smooth and glossy for many years.
