Cast Iron baths have been used for over 120 years . Although often considered as the ‘ real thing ’, cast iron has many drawbacks , such as excessive weight , incredible heat loss from the bathing water and are also prone to surface chipping . Homeowners also found that liquid cleaners would ruin the white interior surface . So , after two years of intensive development , I formed a new unique material , Iso- Enamel . This was developed from an amalgam of special minerals and stone powders , which ensures that our baths will retain heat in the bathing water , giving bathers the ultimate luxurious experience for longer . It is also less than half the weight of cast iron - so customers can have the cast iron look without having to spend hundreds on reinforcing their bathroom floor . Believe it or not , the average weight of an Albion tub is a mere 70kg .
Our exclusive material will happily stand up to all cleaning products , even limescale removers , with no fear of discolouration , scratching or chipping . Over the years it has allowed us to faithfully recreate the shapes of iconic classical bath
