MTI Baths has unveiled a new material to create its award-winning baths and shower bases. Introducing DoloMatte, a cutting-edge true solid-surface material that is beautiful, strong and soft to the touch. This new material is available on Designer Collection freestanding tubs and low-profile shower bases. With a matte finish and tactile experience, DoloMatte opens exciting new doors of design possibility.
MTI’s DoloMatte begins as a thick, American-made solid-surface slab of specialty polymer blended with ground minerals that is consistent in color and property. After a unique preparation process, it is thermoformed with a mold and then enhanced through additional processes, including hand-finishing. While immediately notable for its exquisite matte finish and oh-so-soft surface, the appeal of this new American-made material goes much deeper. The solid-surface is durable, impact/shock-resistant and extremely scratch-and stain-resistant. The non-porous white surface is easy to clean and is resistant to mold, mildew and UV damage.
DoloMatte joins other materials offered by MTI for bath fixtures: its signature Sculpture Stone, Mineral Composite and Enhanced Acrylic CXLTM, giving consumers and designers the broadest selection of materials to meet their needs and designs. And all are made in the USA. In fact, MTI partnered with American manufacturer Aristech in the development of the solid-surface slab used in the creation of DoloMatte products. Aristech is the parent company of Avonite, who has been a leader in solid-surface products for more than 30 years. AVONITE is a registered trademark of Aristech Surfaces LLC.
