Spanish bathroom specialist Acquabella has reaffirmed its commitment to health, safety and sustainability with a portfolio of premium mineral-based products that are entirely free from crystalline silica. Designed with wellbeing and environmental responsibility in mind, the company’s surfaces combine high-performance materials with independently certified credentials for indoor air quality, hygiene and recycled content.
As awareness continues to grow around the risks associated with crystalline silica and silicosis, a serious occupational lung disease linked to certain engineered stone products, Acquabella is highlighting its proactive approach to safer material specification. The manufacturer’s shower trays and countertops are deliberately formulated without crystalline silica, reflecting a long-term commitment to protecting installers, fabricators, employees and end users throughout the entire product lifecycle.
Instead, Acquabella’s products are manufactured using mineral fillers including calcium carbonate and dolomite, materials that differ fundamentally from crystalline silica-based engineered stone linked to silicosis cases globally. This considered material choice underlines the brand’s focus on creating safer bathroom solutions without compromising on design, durability or performance.
Certified materials designed for healthier living
Alongside being crystalline silica-free, Acquabella’s collections also deliver a range of independently certified environmental and wellbeing benefits. Its shower trays contain up to 74% pre-consumer recycled content, while countertops incorporate up to 57%, both verified by SCS Global Services.
The products also achieve an A+ classification for indoor air quality in accordance with ISO 16000-6, helping to support healthier residential and commercial interiors. In addition, Acquabella’s surfaces are certified antibacterial to ISO 22196:2011, offering enhanced hygiene performance for modern bathroom environments where cleanliness and ease of maintenance remain key priorities.
Further reinforcing its sustainability credentials, the company has registered both Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) and FDES certifications for its Akron® shower trays and countertops, independently verified to provide greater transparency around environmental performance.
Sustainability embedded across operations
Acquabella’s environmental commitment extends beyond product development into its wider manufacturing operations. The company states that 100% of the electricity used across its facilities comes from certified renewable energy sources, supporting a more responsible production model aligned with evolving industry expectations.
The manufacturer also holds ISO 14001 Environmental Management System certification, demonstrating a structured approach to reducing environmental impact and continually improving sustainable performance throughout its operations.
As part of its wider climate strategy, Acquabella has also completed the calculation and registration of its corporate carbon footprint, strengthening its commitment to transparency and lower-impact manufacturing.
With growing demand for safer, more sustainable specification choices across the bathroom sector, Acquabella continues to position itself at the forefront of contemporary bathroom design with products engineered to support both wellbeing and environmental responsibility.
