Jesmonite Soap Dishes

What is Jesmonite made from?

Jesmonite products like these amazing soap dishes are composite materials, a combination of a reactive mineral base and a pure water based acrylic resin. 

How durable is Jesmonite?

Jesmonite is highly malleable and lasts a long time, so you're unlikely to break it. And unlike ceramic or hard plastic, a jesmonite soap dish is unlikely to crack or break when knocked off the bathroom sink by the kids.

Is Jesmonite better than concrete?

Jesmonite is lighter in comparison to concrete, making it more suited to decorative items and household accessories like soap dishes. It's also waterproof, meaning it's great for wet areas like  bathrooms.

Is Jesmonite cement?

Jesmonite is a relatively new material that was invented by a man called Peter Hawkins in 1984. It is comprised of a gypsum or cement and acrylic resin mix, and has become the material of choice for designers looking for an alternative to environmentally questionable resin-based fibreglass or plastic.

Is Jesmonite eco-friendly?

Jesmonite is now one of the more environmentally friendly building and product materials. The main reason for this is that Jesmonite is water-based, with water making up a large proportion of the material.
