The bathroom is much more than just a functional space: it is a safe haven, a place for self-care and reflection. To reveal the full soothing potential of this room, it is essential to choose the right materials when building or renovating it.
With the MORTEX® and BEALSTONE® brands, it is possible to create unique atmospheres where the material itself contributes to well-being. These two coatings developed by BEAL International blend elegantly with all bathroom elements: basins, worktops, walls, floors, showers, bathtubs and even ceilings. What makes them special? They offer a continuous, unbroken finish that transforms the room into a harmonious and timeless cocoon.
The MORTEX® system: mineral softness and elegance without joints
The MORTEX® product is an extremely fine, waterproof decorative micro-mortar applied in a thin layer (up to 3 mm). It offers a contemporary alternative to waxed concrete, in a more technical and aesthetic version.
Why choose the MORTEX® brand for a bathroom?
- Mineral appearance and sensual feel: a sensation close to natural stone, soft to the touch.
- Continuous, joint-free finish: ideal for creating a soothing, uniform atmosphere conducive to relaxation.
- Infinite customisation: 96 shades are available in the MORTEX® colour palette, but it is also possible to create a custom shade.
- High resistance to moisture, impact and wear: perfect for demanding areas such as showers or basins.
- Easy maintenance: few or no joints, therefore less risk of dirt build-up or deterioration.
When used throughout the room (floors, walls, shower, washbasin, etc.), MORTEX® mineral coating transforms the bathroom into an immersive, soft and contemporary bubble.
If chosen for a specific area, it transforms it into the focal point of the room: an original bathtub, a washbasin harmoniously embedded in its worktop, a niche in the shower that looks as if it has been carved out of stone, etc.
The BEALSTONE® system: terrazzo reinvented
The BEALSTONE® coating offers a distinct terrazzo aesthetic — fully customisable — for those who love materials with a strong character.
Its advantages in a bathroom:
- A high-end terrazzo effect, with an unlimited choice of aggregates (marble, glass, shell, quartz, etc.).
- Customised pigments, meaning a background colour that can be perfectly adapted to your interior design.
- Sanded, polished or matt finishes, depending on the desired effect.
- High mechanical and chemical resistance, suitable for damp areas.
- A jointless coating that offers a uniform appearance and is easy to maintain.
BEALSTONE® multi-surface coating can be used as a strong central feature in a space: a sculpted basin, a contemporary terrazzo worktop, a graphic floor… It becomes the focal point of the room and makes a strong aesthetic statement.
Good to know
MORTEX® and BEALSTONE® products are designed and manufactured in Belgium and are composed of 95% and 97% naturally sourced ingredients sourced in Europe, respectively.
When renovating a bathroom, these two products also share the advantage of avoiding or reducing the demolition phase (and therefore the time, expense and mess that this entails). The MORTEX® and BEALSTONE® systems can be applied in thin layers (3 mm and 7 mm) directly onto the existing surface, provided it is sufficiently stable (concrete, chipboard, etc.).
A bespoke bathroom
So, MORTEX®, BEALSTONE®… or a combination of both?
One thing is certain: both systems are perfectly suited to the needs of a bathroom from a ‘technical’ point of view (resistance, ease of maintenance, etc.). The choice will therefore be mainly aesthetic.
But whether you are an architect, a craftsman or a private individual, these two coatings can be adapted to your desires and creativity. By playing with colours, aggregates and finishes, each bathroom becomes a unique creation that is durable, functional and intensely sensory.
MORTEX® for continuity, softness and calm. BEALSTONE® for texture, visual richness and a strong impression. It’s up to you to choose the world that suits you best or that best suits your project!
