Driftwood Baths - Finbarr Duggan
 |
|
Throw out your clinical white baths and
be embraced by nature. The humble wooden bath has been reborn.
Making a big splash in local and international
design circles in recent times, an Irish company, Driftwood
Baths, have taken the age old wooden bath and dragged
it kicking and screaming into the 21st century. The company
was founded by Finbarr Duggan, whose background in engineering
and passion for wooden boat building fused to make the baths
possible.

Thanks to Finbarr's engineering background
and pioneering research into wood coating technology, each
bath is intended to become a precious family heirloom - they
come with a lifetime guarantee against leakage or structural
failure. This coating may be the skeleton on which a driftwood
bath is built, but its' beating heart is Finbarrs' love of
wood which comes through in every piece they complete. The
emphasis is on exposing the intrinsic qualities of the wood
while keeping to a modern design ethos. This helps to make
each bath a unique design collectible.

Baths can be chosen from their range
of designs or, for the more adventurous, you can design your
own with the help of their design team. You can also choose
from a vast range of woods, native woods from Lisnavagh, or
exotics from further afield. The baths also exhibit incredible
heat retaining properties, far better than plastic, ceramic,
metal or stone. You'll really notice how much longer the water
stays warm than with any other type of bath. The baths require
no special treatment or care and wipe clean the same as a
plastic or ceramic bath. A bath should be a haven from the
world and with a wooden bath from Driftwood Baths, it certainly
is - a natural woody haven.

You can also phone them directly at +353-1-286 3802, and if
they're not there, they're probably in the bath...
