ENGLISHCAST®

Victoria + Albert Cabrits Collection

A naturally superior bathtub: It may sound obvious, but not all bathtubs are created equally. At Victoria + Albert they are passionate about their unique ENGLISHCAST® material.

ENGLISHCAST® is made from finely ground Volcanic Limestone™ mixed with resin. As the stone-rich alternative to both cast iron and acrylic it is 100% one piece, hand finished and packed with naturally desirable properties:

Warm
Due to the quality of the ENGLISHCAST® material it has high insulation properties and is warm to the touch

Beautiful
The Volcanic Limestone™ mineral delivers a naturally white, gloss finish, featuring excellent stain resistance

Victoria + Albert Maru Collection

Strong
This raw material has special needle-like particles formed by the rock undergoing superheating. When mixed with resins these bond together to create an incredibly strong web.
As well as being naturally white and naturally harder than acrylic, this makes ENGLISHCAST® incredibly strong and ensures no creaking or flexing of the bath

Renewable
Easy clean solid surface – as the material is solid all the way through, internal scratches simply polish out

Practical
Drillable for customized faucet location

Unique
Hand finished interior – exterior can be painted or personalized after purchase

Lasting
25 year warranty

VOLCANIC LIMESTONE ™

Volcanic Limestone ™ is Victoria + Albert’s proprietary name for the very special white rock that is perfect for making bathtubs and vessel basins.

This is formed when the elemental forces associated with liquid magma acts upon surrounding soft, chalky limestone. The immense heat and pressure from the magma transforms the neighbouring rock into a new material made up of incredibly hard strands.

Victoria + Albert blends milled Volcanic Limestone™ with high quality resins to bind these strands into a complex 3D matrix.

The finished result is ENGLISHCAST® – a world class composite with an exceptional strength to weight ratio.
