Cast iron tubs have often been named as the ‘real thing’. However cast iron tubs have many drawbacks such as excessive weight and incredible heat loss. The Albion baths are made from our unique material called Iso-Enamel which creates a solid, one-piece, 15-20mm thick bath. This gives a luxurious and strong construction much like that of a cast iron tub.
Albion uses a resin mineral mix, so our baths are not as cold or heavy like cast iron tubs. They are around 1/3rd the weight of a comparative quality cast iron tub (65-70kg for a 6 foot Albion bath as opposed to approximately 200kg for a cast iron tub). Cast iron tubs have a proneness to chipping and homeowners found that modern liquid cleaners would instantly attack and spoil the white interior surface, unlike Albion baths which are more durable. Also Albion baths will keep your bath water hotter than a cast iron tub as the material insulates rather than loses heat.
Albion roll top baths, can be finished to a colour of your choice, or choose one of Albion’s metallic burnished finishes. The cast iron feet are supplied in the traditional style and cast using Grey Iron. Naturally, Albion can finish the cast iron feet to a colour of your choice. The ball and claw cast iron feet are then bolted securely onto the tub with substantial bolts.
