The WAVE series is truly outstanding. The soft, curvy shapes reach to geometric borders. The result: pure harmony. WAVE is not only intriguing but also ergonomic and comfortable to lie in. The shell shape gives this collection an extravagant look and what's more, its use is very flexible. All WAVE products can be free-standing or built-in.
The optional centred black seam outlines the elegant form of this collection. It also has its functional purpose: dividing the bathtub into two pieces providing the opportunity for the bathtub to be transported in two separate halves and mounted together on-site. This flexibility of transportation and installation makes WAVE bathtubs ideal for both new and existing houses.
All our products are manufactured from special high-density concrete material of the best quality. This guarantees high durability and superb surface quality. All products are made in Switzerland.
On request, all products from this series are available with or without the centre seam. The seam divides the bathtub into two pieces making it possible for each half to be transported separately.
The seam divides the bathtub into two pieces. These are joined before ex factory delivery. The seam is filled with a high-quality rubber material, flush with other surfaces.
You can choose to have the bathtub delivered in two pieces making it possible for each half to be transported separately. Please request a special quotation for delivery and on-site fitting of the concrete bathtub.
The products in this series are also available without the centre seam. In this case every item is manufactured of a single piece.
FAQ / Frequently asked questions
Concrete bathtubs
Can
a concrete bathtub just simply be installed?
Answer:
Make sure you seek advice from an expert and have the statics
checked. With new buildings, the floor usually only needs to be
reinforced fractionally. Concrete bathtubs must be installed directly
onto the concrete floor.
Isn't
a concrete bath just too heavy – are the statics of an ordinary
house sufficient?
Answer:
Make sure you seek advice from an expert and have the statics
checked. Considerable care needs to be taken with existing
installations.
We
would like to have a concrete bath installed outside – is that
possible?
Answer:
The model WAVE_CUBED is excellently suited for an outside installation.
We recommend a coat of lacquer or waterproofing for surface care - as well as for
protection against moss and algae, particularly during the transition period.

We
are building a new house. When do we need to order our concrete bath
and what must we take special care with?
Answer:
We recommend you to order the concrete bath in accordance with the
existence of a building licence. Normally there is a delivery period
of 4-5 weeks. For new buildings, we recommend placing the bathtub
with a crane directly into its position within the building shell.
The bathtub is packed solidly in a case ex works.
So
far as underlay flooring and sanitary installations go, what must be
considered most importantly?
Answer:
Concrete bathtubs are installed directly onto the concrete flooring.
The underlay flooring will subsequently be cast in, this covers the
supporting stand construction. The minimum requirements for the
height of the underlay flooring are 11cm (maximum 18cm).
Concrete baths are delivered including draw off taps. (The WAVE_CUBED model is even delivered with a syphon). The person installing sanitary facilities can usually connect up the bathtub before sealing the underlay flooring. With very limited underlay flooring heights, a small surface area needs to be left open so that the syphon can be placed correctly. Please contact us in this case for specific advice.
Does
the concrete bathtub have an overflow? Which stop valve do you
recommend?
Answer:
None of the dade-design.com models has
an overflow. All concrete bathtubs are delivered with a sophisticated
stop valve.

Are

Answer:
WAVE concrete baths are exceptionally stable and robust products.
However, please do take care that the surface treatment is not

Which
fittings do you recommend?
Answer:We
recommend wall fittings with a long base or a free-standing floor
model. The floor model from the Black Series 161 made by Steinberg Armaturen, for example are an
excellent fit.
Wash basins & shower trays:
For
wall fittings, do special precautions need to be taken?
Answer:
Only the WAVE_CUBED is suitable for fitting to a wall. In essence,
the wash basin is fitted like any other wash basin. We recommend
threaded rods measuring at least Xxx in length and with a diameter of
Xxx as well as fixed masonry. Fitting on plasterboard walls or
gas-aerated concrete walls is not advised.
Can
the WAVE model also be fitted to the wall?
Answer:
No, the WAVE model is a standing model that is suitable for fitting
onto a washbasin stand. With a combination of wood, this model fits
particularly well with this type of application.
Does
the wash basin have overflow and stop valve functions?
Answer:
None of the dade-design.com models have an overflow. A stopper with
threaded rods is not provided.
Which
fittings do you recommend?
Answer:
We exclusively recommend wall fittings or single-hole mountings that are
fitted on the wash basin (for the Wave model). Black Series 161
models from Steinberg Armaturen, for example are an
excellent fit.
How must surfaces be maintained? Answer: Maintenance varies depending on the chosen surface coating. With lacquered models maintenance does not differ than that for a conventional wash basin. With waterproofed models we recommend regular refreshing of the waterproof coating. Dirt and toothpaste, for example ought to be quickly removed as the surface should not be so heavily scratched. Models without surface treatment should not be left to get too dirty. Perfume or shampoo splashes, however would not require immediate cleaning. A detailed comparision of the different waterproofing methods we offer can be found here.
We
are interested in your shower trays. Which surface treatment should
we choose so that drops of water do not accumulate?
Answer:
We recommend lacquering.
Are there faucets that fit with dade-design products?
Answer: We are an official dealer of Steinberg faucets. Let us provide you with an offer for your faucets. For example the Steinberg black series 161 fits perfectly!
The WAVE_CUBED concrete bathtub is a more linear, cubic version of the ‘WAVE’ series. It combines the curved inner shape of the WAVE-series with flat sidewalls and thus creates a very sound and elegant depth. This way, the comfortable, ergonomic shape is retained, but with a slightly different look, and it also gives you scope for bathroom design. WAVE_CUBED can be easily used in outdoor surroundings.
The black seam, which accentuates the design and draws on symmetry and harmony amongst objects can be included in this collection as an option.
All our products are manufactured from special high-density concrete material of the best quality. This guarantees high durability and superb surface quality. All products are made in Switzerland.
