Cast Iron Baths - Not the way to go! - The Albion Bath Company

Cast Iron roll top bath suppliers often extol the qualities of cast iron material however, they fail to cite the many drawbacks such as extreme heat loss and excessive weight. The Albion Bath Company’s baths however, are made from a 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 bath but without the obvious drawbacks.

As Albion use a resin and mineral mixture, their baths are not as heavy or cold as a cast iron roll top bath. Albion baths weigh roughly a third of the weight of a comparative quality cast iron roll top bath e.g. 65-70kg for a 6ft Albion bath as opposed to approximately 200kg for a cast iron equivalent.

Further development of our production technique allowed us to create our bull nose bath range emulating fire clay baths popular in the early 1900's in North America and Europe. These baths being substantially thicker are therefore heavier than our traditional roll top baths however, none weighs more than 215KG which is approximately half the weight of an original fire clay bath.

An Albion bath will keep your bath water hotter than a cast iron roll top bath as the material insulates rather than loses heat. Cast iron roll top baths also have a proneness to chipping and many cleaning substances cannot be used on, this is not the case with Albion baths.

Unlike many Cast Stone Resin Bath manufacturers, The Albion Bath Company do not use Acrylic within their mixture nor do they use an ‘Acrylic skin’ with a resin back fill, Albion bath tubs are wet cast into a mould and are one solid piece, not many companies can say this is true of their bath tubs! This allows Albion to ensure every bath has that luxurious feel of a Cast Iron Enamel Bath, where your hand ‘glides’ over the bath material rather than the ‘Tupperware’ feel of an Acrylic bath, but without any of the aforementioned downfalls. The look and feel of our baths is totally unique and cannot be compared to the feel of inferior acrylic.

Albion's New Polished Pewter Bath Finish

Albion's brand new Polished Pewter finish - available on most Albion roll top baths, call for details.

Take a look at Albion’s brand new Geminus Advance bath coated with our unique Polished Pewter finish. This is a slightly mottled and high reflective silver surface that replicates the finish of polished cast iron. The finish is created by coating the bath with a highly polished base colour. By using a special (and secret) technique, we then deposit metal particles onto this surface. This surface is then buffed and sealed with a hard lacquer. Unlike aluminium or Iron, this Polished Pewter finish will not tarnish or corrode and is easy to keep clean.

This process maintains Albion’s ethos of using modern technology to create and improve traditional designs such as polished cast iron baths. Remember, Albion baths are hand made from our special material called Iso-Enamel. This is a stone-like material that maintains all the individual character of cast iron yet overcomes it’s inherent drawbacks. Albion’s Iso-Enamel material has a hard, high gloss surface and will retain precious heat in your bathing water. When compared to inferior acrylic, Iso-Enamel is strong, stiff and scratch resistant. To make life easy, unlike cast iron baths, Iso Enamel can be cleaned with all household liquid cleaners and, if scuffed, can be polished or repaired

The Polished Pewter finish can be applied to any of Albion’s Roll Top baths and is a fantastic addition to Albion’s service of customising their baths to individual requirements. This service is priced at £999.00 inclusive of VAT.

Roll Top Baths - The Albion Bath Company

Albion’s free standing baths and roll top baths cannot be compared to cast iron baths or any other free standing bath as Albion baths are constructed from their unique Iso Enamel material. Iso Enamel provides the look and all the good qualities of a cast iron bath i.e. strength, rigidity and high gloss finish while excluding the inherent drawbacks such as extreme weight and excessive heat loss.

The Albion Bath Company started manufacturing Iso Enamel roll top baths in 1993 whilst continuously expanding their ranges of free standing baths which include short baths for compact spaces and shower baths which allow the opportunity to combine a roll top bath with a practical overbath shower amongst many other designs and styles.
