Native Trails Debuts NativeStone® Bathtubs

January 26, 2016

Native Trails has announced the arrival of its sleek new artisan-crafted NativeStone® bathtub, Avalon, available in two sizes, 62-inch and 72-inch. With its oval shape and deep interior, this impressive concrete bath tub provides not only beauty but optimum comfort. Its thick walls provide insulation to ensure that a hot, deep, relaxing soak will last and last. Avalon is handcrafted of NativeStone, a breakthrough combination of natural jute fiber and cement, making the tub much lighter than expected. Avalon and other new additions for the kitchen & bath are available in showrooms June 1, 2016. “Concrete is incredibly on trend; it’s also one of the least energy intensive materials one can specify in a bathroom design,” said Naomi Neilson Howard, founder and CEO of Native Trails. “Still, some types of concrete are made to have less of an environmental impact than others. With our NativeStone line, we replaced part of the cement in the mixture with renewable jute. The jute fiber also serves to reinforce and strengthen the concrete, while significantly reducing its weight – these tubs are surprisingly lightweight for their size and impact.”
