HAMILTON - Key Persons

Harwell Ballard was different from others in the Fiberglass Reinforced Product bathware business. He didn't gain experience in an already functioning plant, so Hamilton Bathware didn't build its product in the traditional fashion. Instead of using cardboard to reinforce the walls of gelcoat tubs and showers, he backed the gelcoat with layers of fiberglass and a higher content of resins than other manufacturers to make Hamilton products much stronger. Harwell worked with plumbers and installers to target common issues in the industry. Their number one complaint was thin, weak nailing and tiling flanges, so Harwell engineered a very distinctive way of building the mold so that the flanges could receive more fiberglass and resin backing to add strength to the product.
