Pisara Bathroom Furniture FAQ

Pisara Pure is the new core material used in Pisara bathroom furniture. It replaces the previous wood-based core solution and has been developed specifically to withstand the demanding conditions of the bathroom.

We changed the core material because we wanted to extend the product life cycle and reduce the need for virgin raw materials. The renewal improves both durability and environmental performance.

The familiar Pisara look and feel remain the same. The core changes, but the furniture still looks and feels like Pisara, as the visible surface material is the same type of high-quality matte laminate finish.

The overall weight is slightly reduced, and the collection is also updated with a new colour option, Sand (Hiekka).

In the production of Pisara Pure bathroom furniture, industrial side streams refer to material flows generated in industrial manufacturing that are recovered and reused.

Polyurethane is a versatile material used in many areas of construction and interior environments. You probably already have polyurethane somewhere in your home, for example, in insulation, seals or structural materials.

Polyurethane is a non-toxic, odourless and safe material.

The core of Pisara bathroom furniture is made from a 100 percent recycled polyurethane mix recovered from the side streams of European factories. The mix includes laminate, aluminium and binders. The material is first ground and then hot pressed into board form.

Polyurethane itself is odourless. When new, the products may have a mild “new material” scent, as many plastics and laminates do. This fades quickly with time and ventilation.

Pure refers to a cleaner environment and to recycled polyurethane: PolyUrethane Recycled.

The surface of Pisara bathroom furniture is made from high-quality Finnish matte laminate, which completes the look and feel of the furniture. The surface is pleasant to the touch and designed to withstand moisture, scratches and abrasion.

It is available in three colours.

The wood texture finishes do not have the same matte surface. Their surface is “Natural”, designed to imitate the appearance of natural wood.

Seamless edge technology is an edging method that creates a cleaner and more durable joint in the surface material. It also reduces the risk of moisture getting under the surface.

It improves hygiene by helping prevent dirt and bacteria from entering the seam. Unlike a traditional glued seam, it does not yellow or become brittle over time.
