Wood brings a homely feel to bathrooms.
Wood makes bathrooms homely. The natural material wood provides visual warmth and enhances every bathroom. On behalf of Wilhelm Schmidlin AG in Oberarth, we were commissioned to produce two stylish bathroom accessories made of solid wood for the modern bathroom.
Wilhelm Schmidlin AG
For more than 70 years, the Swiss bathroom manufacturer Schmidlin has been producing first-class products made of glazed titanium steel. With around 90 employees at its production site in Oberarth (SZ), the innovative, owner-managed industrial company manufactures bathtubs, shower trays, shower surfaces, washbasins, urinals, kitchen splashbacks and whiteboards in great variety and proven quality. We are very pleased to have been commissioned by Schmidlin to produce two stylish bathroom accessories made of solid wood. The two accessories were designed by industrial designer Björn Ischi exclusively for Schmidlin, enhance every bathroom, are also practical and give the room more warmth thanks to the wood.
Holz im Bad
Wood in the bathroom can basically be used everywhere except in the shower. Splashing water is usually not a problem, especially as it dries again quickly with good ventilation. Standing water in the form of puddles should be avoided, however. However, the surface treatment and care of the wood are important. Water-repellent oils have proven to be the best protection, but must be reapplied every one to two years depending on wear. Domestic species such as oak and walnut are well suited for damp rooms.
Since the two accessories to be produced will be exposed to large fluctuations in temperature and humidity, a type of wood was chosen that can best withstand both factors. In addition, nothing was deliberately glued, which was possible due to the dimensions, as this could in turn lead to weak points.
Holz macht Bäder wohnlich. Der natürliche Werkstoff Holz sorgt für optische Wärme und wertet jedes Badezimmer auf. Im Auftrag der Wilhelm Schmidlin AG in Oberarth durften wir zwei stylische Bad-Accessoires aus Massivholz für das moderne Badezimmer produzieren.
Stylish accessories for the bathroom
The bathroom is becoming more and more modern, homely, and even replaces a frequent visit to a spa. This trend change has not gone unnoticed by Schmidlin AG. The sole Swiss manufacturer of bathroom products such as bathtubs, shower trays, washbasins and many other products made of glazed titanium steel therefore decided to expand its range with two more stylish ELEMENT wooden accessories.
Swiss Made
Both Schmidlin AG and vonrickenbach.swiss ag are committed to Swiss Made. In addition to their high-quality standards, it was therefore important for Schmidlin to be close to the manufacturer. Their products were to be produced locally and from solid Swiss wood.
SOLID OAK WOOD
Both accessories, a modern bathtub tray and a round tray for the washbasin, are made of solid oak. Oak is very suitable for wet areas and is also durable. Both products were cut by us to the given specifications, provided with the necessary cut-outs by means of our modern Five AXIS CNC MACHINE, sanded by hand and finally oiled.
Der richtige Partner
Also worth mentioning are the magnets that are retrofitted by Schmidlin underneath the two products. These special magnets, which are not problematic for steel bathtubs, prevent the shelves and their contents from slipping or falling down.
Anyone who likes to make themselves comfortable in the bathtub with reading or entertainment is perfectly served by the magnetic BATHTUB TRAY. With its milled grooves, the product offers a secure hold for the tablet as well as space for two drinks. The Schmidlin ELEMENT bath tray is available in two lengths: 75 cm and 90 cm. Suitable for bathtubs made of glazed titanium steel.
The right partner
This magnetic tray is the ideal place for everything that easily gets lost or falls into the water, such as earrings, necklaces, and rings. The tray is oiled to make it water-repellent. Suitable for a wide range of washbasins and bathtubs made from glazed titanium steel.
THE RIGHT PARTNER
FOR THE PERFECT PRODUCTS
We were able to accompany and support Schmidlin in their development process from the very beginning. Starting with the evaluation of the first digital drafts, through prototype production to the final series. Our know-how and flexibility were in demand. Our strength in CNC milling of solid wood was shown in the low amount of finishing work, such as sanding and plastering, which in turn had a positive effect on the costs.
We are the specialists for SOLID WOOD WORKING. With our 5-axis CNC MACHINES, the 10-spindle planing machine, a modern panel press and the latest laser technology, almost no wishes remain unfulfilled.
We thank SCHMIDLIN for this exciting order and wish them continued success.
Gerne informieren wir Sie an dieser Stelle, dass unsere Firma infolge Betriebsferien und Revisionsarbeiten an unserem Maschinenpark vom 26.7. bis 13.8.2021 geschlossen bleibt.
Wir wünschen Ihnen einen wunderbaren, erholsamen Sommer!
