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.

Bull Nose Baths - The Albion Bath Company

The Albion Bath Company’s Bull Nose Baths provide timeless design and comfort for any bathroom design. With a wide range of designs, Bull Nose Baths provide a bold statement whilst maintaining the strength, durability and comfort Albion is legendary for. Each Bull Nose Bath is hand made using Albion’s unique ISO Enamel material providing superior bathing qualities compared to fireclay, cast iron, acrylic or resin stone baths. 

Albion’s range of Bull Nose Baths suit both modern and traditional bathroom designs alike. Baths such as the Cemora, designed for the modern bathroom, provide visual solidity wrapped by graceful curves, ensuring softness to the eye. Echoing this soft form and timeless design, the Lilye freestanding bath, provides a modern take on the much loved Bateau Baths of mainland Europe in the early 1900’s. With Lilye’s high ends and generous angles, sharing a bath with a loved one will become a favoured past time. 

The Aegean bath, inspired by North American and European fireclay baths of the early 20th century, creates a dramatic statement in any bathroom. Providing sumptuous, bold design and Albion comfort, the Aegean provides bathing pleasure and an obvious talking point amongst friends. 

Bull Nose Baths are substantially thicker and therefore heavier than our traditional roll top baths, however, none still weighs more than 215KG which is approximately half the weight of an original fire clay bath.
