Iso Enamel Material - The Albion Bath Company

Iso Enamel is The Albion Bath Company's unique self reinforced, acrylic free cast stone resin and mineral mixture. The material is wet cast into a mould with a chemical glaze applied which results in a product that is one solid piece that cannot be split unlike Cast Iron Enamel Baths or many other Cast Stone Resin Baths which have an Acrylic 'skin' which can split and separate over time.

This process allows The Albion Bath Company to achieve the closest match to original Cast Iron Bath Tubs, in look and feel, that money can buy, without any of the inherent downfalls associated with Cast Iron Enamel Baths. These downfalls predominately being, excessive weight, many homeowners have had to reinforce floors within their property just to get a Cast Iron bath in and that doesn't include the sheer issue of getting the bath tub into the property in the first place, back breaking work indeed! Secondly, Cast Iron Bath Tubs draw out the heat from the bath water very quickly resulting in many users having to constantly 'top up' their bath with hot water during their soak. Another problem commonly associated with Cast Iron Baths is the inability to use day to day household cleaners on them without damaging or discolouring the enamel surface, not very practical in a busy household!

Albion have successfully strived to ensure all of these downfalls do not exist with their Iso Enamel Material, instead, an Albion Iso Enamel Bath tub will give you the luxurious feel and look of an original Cast Iron Bath Tub but at a 1/3 of the weight of an equivalent sized Cast Iron Bath. Therefore, no need to reinforce floors, even with Albion's heaviest Aegean bath at approx 220kg, a like for like fire clay bath would be approx 450kg! As a general rule, Albion Roll Top Bath Tubs range from 47kg to 81kg and Bull Nose Fire Clay Baths from 92kg to 220kg, not too bad considering the appealing design and practicality issues it conquers.
Also, Albion's Iso Enamel Material actually insulates the bath water for approximately an hour longer compared to Cast Iron Baths, so no more topping up the hot water. All cleaners, even limescale removers, can be used on Albion's Iso Enamel material with no fear of damaging or discolouring the surface. Another benefit is all of Albion's Roll Top Bath Tubs can be finished on the exterior in a colour of your choice, so you can fully customise your bath to your bathroom design.

Not only can you benefit from Albion's unique material via their bath tubs but also their shower trays, allowing you to have all the benefits of Iso Enamel but in a stylish, low profile, self reinforced tray.

Hopefully you'll agree that Albion have found and developed a niche in the market with their Iso Enamel Material. Why not give them a call on 01255 831605 for more details or visit their website www.albionbathco.com and request a brochure and start dreaming about your new bathroom!

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.

Shower Bath Tubs - The Albion Bath Company

Have the best of both world’s with Albion’s Shower Bath Tubs

With the popularity of shower baths and tubs ever increasing due to their everyday functionality and practicality, Albion developed their own roll top shower bath, allowing customers to combine the functionality of a corner shower bath while maintaining the lustrous look of a free standing roll top bath.

Offering two unique designs, Albion has managed to create a luxury roll top bath with two straight sides allowing the bath to be sealed against the wall creating a functional shower. The Trident shower bath features traditional style ball and claw feet with the option to finish the bath exterior in any colour from the Dulux Trade and Heritage range or in one of Albion’s unique ‘Burnished’ finishes. The Safinor shower bath features Albion’s curvaceous Bull Nose design with the enamel finish continuing all over on to the exterior of the bath, providing a sleek, free flowing look. Both designs are available in ‘left hand’ or ‘right hand’ versions allowing installation in any bathroom setup.

All of Albion’s baths are manufactured from Albion’s unique Acrylic-Free Iso Enamel, providing all the desired qualities of a cast iron bath without any of the associated drawbacks, i.e. extreme weight and poor thermal qualities.
