40 Years Experience

When Donald Hackett came into contact with synthetic marble while building skyscrapers in Australia, he had no idea that it would be the beginning of a 40-year legacy.

Surrounded by the green hills of County Tyrone, The Classic Marble Factory provides a great place to work for local people and exports its award-winning products across the UK, Europe and North America.

Classic Marble initially gained prominence among bathroom installers in Ireland. Each Classic Marble shower pan is meticulously handcrafted and inspected, creating products that are installed with ease, making it a firm favourite among installers.

Over the years, Donald continued to innovate his designs and manufacturing processes, helping Classic Marble remain relevant as an increasing number of mass-produced shower pans entered the market. In contrast to vacuum-formed acrylic, Classic Marble pours its resin compound into molds.

SENSTEC has gained extensive recognition within the bathroom industry, even securing an award for innovation in 2022, competing against groundbreaking AI software and other highly innovative inventions.

The core of SENSTEC lies in its patented design. The SENSTEC pan features hundreds of small protrusions that come up from the flat bottom of the pan, breaking the foot’s contact with the floor and providing vast amounts of grip. Each of these has to be precisely shaped and placed to achieve the perfect balance between comfort and safety while avoiding trapping dirt.

These protrusions were nicknamed ‘Dimples,’ a reference back to our manufacturing process and what makes Classic Marble uniquely qualified to create SENSTEC.

Remember the molds that have been used for crafting the original Classic Marble pans since the 80s? Well, it is Classic Marble’s mastery of the molding process that enabled us to create SENSTEC. Each mold is meticulously created, with perfectly sculpted dimples that, when filled, would become the grip or ‘Dimples’ on a SENSTEC pan.

This latest bathroom innovation arose from another pressing issue: slips and falls within bathrooms. By this point, Donald’s sons, Christopher and Stephen, had joined the business, working in tandem to create SENSTEC.

SENSTEC started out as an interesting design project. Could you make a shower pan that has top-level anti-slip properties while still being comfortable to stand on and easy to keep clean?

Well, after nearly 5 years of research and development and over 40 prototypes, the Hacketts answered that question – yes, you can!

Quality Control

When it comes to bathroom safety and quality, SENSTEC anti-slip shower pans are second to none. What many people don't realize, however, is that there's a hidden innovation embedded in every single SENSTEC pan: a unique microchip. This small but mighty piece of technology plays a pivotal role in our production process, ensuring unparalleled quality control and traceability.

Each SENSTEC shower pan is embedded with a microchip during production. This microchip allows us to trace and identify every detail of the manufacturing process, making it an integral part of our commitment to quality control. It isn't just a piece of technology; it's a guardian of our production integrity, ensuring that each shower pan meets our stringent standards.

From the moment production begins, every step is meticulously recorded and stored. The microchip contains data about:

  • Spraying and Batching: Details of the initial spraying process and the specific batch of materials used.
  • Inspection and Packaging: Records of every inspection checkpoint and the final packaging process.
  • Mold Information: Which mold was used for the pan, crucial for maintaining consistency and quality.
  • Product Color and Batch Numbers: The final color of the product and the batch numbers, which are essential for inventory and quality tracking.
  • Temperature and Material Data: Essential details about the production environment and materials used.
  • Personnel Involved: Names and roles of the personnel involved in each step, from the individual who sprayed the pan to those who signed off during inspections.

When you choose a SENSTEC shower pan, you're not merely buying a product; you're investing in peace of mind. The embedded microchip is a testament to our dedication to transparency and innovation. It reassures customers that every SENSTEC anti-slip shower pan has been through a rigorous quality control process, meticulously documented at every stage.

Our commitment to transparency extends beyond just tracking manufacturing details. We believe in being open about our processes and ensuring that our customers have full confidence in our products. The microchip technology is a perfect example of how we blend cutting-edge innovation with our unwavering dedication to quality.

Choosing a SENSTEC anti-slip shower pan means choosing a product that offers more than just functionality. It means investing in a product backed by a comprehensive quality control system designed to ensure maximum safety, durability, and reliability. With SENSTEC, you're not just getting a shower pan; you're getting a product that embodies safety, innovation, and exceptional quality. What more could you ask for?
