volcanic limestone baths

Elegance that has taken millions of years At Victoria + Albert, we use a special white rock that we call Volcanic Limestone. It is a key ingredient in every bath and basin we manufacture. Starting life as a soft and chalky limestone, its creation is one of natural transformation after being exposed to huge elemental forces from liquid magma. After millions of years, the high temperature and pressure results in incredibly hard, strong strands being formed. Once ground to a powder, we blend the Volcanic LimestoneTM with high quality resins to form QUARRYCAST - a world class composite that is rock solid, scratch resistant and exclusive to Victoria + Albert. With the peace of mind of a 25-year domestic guarantee*, choosing Victoria + Albert is more than a purchase, it s an investment for life. A passion for design For over 15 years our in-house design team has delivered stunning pieces to uphold our original bold artistic vision. From day one, Victoria + Albert were determined to set new luxury bathroom standards for form and function. We re proud that our excellence has been recognised worldwide by respected interior design and architectural professionals. An investment for life Combining elegant sculpted lines with unrivalled performance, our baths and basins make stunning centrepieces with enduring appeal in contemporary and traditional settings. Unlike solid stone or cast iron products, QUARRYCAST feels warm to the touch and also offers exceptional heat and sound insulation. Choose Victoria + Albert to achieve the indulgence of a luxury hotel within your own home. *Guarantee limited to QUARRYCAST products only; excluding waste kits, accessories & decorative finishing. This does not affect your statutory rights. *The exact colour and finish of products may vary from those depicted in this brochure.

From Volcanic Limestone to QUARRYCAST Quality Volcanic Limestone is Victoria + Albert s name for the very special white rock that is perfect for making baths and basins. This is formed when the elemental forces associated with liquid magma act 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. Strength At Victoria + Albert, our baths and basins are crafted exclusively from QUARRYCAST. Being rich in Volcanic Limestone, this unique composite is more than twice as strong as other materials. Absolute safety complete confidence Rock solid no flexing or creaking Design freedom creates beautiful forms QUARRYCAST has outperformed rival solid composites in strength tests conducted by independent material testing experts, Lucideon*. Mean modulus of rupture (MPa) Temperature Unlike solid stone, QUARRYCAST is warm to the touch, possessing superlative heat retention properties for a luxury bathing experience every time. More comfortable warm to the touch More relaxing water stays warmer for longer More economical less water top-up QUARRYCAST surpassed alternative materials in laboratory tests on bath water heat retention, conducted by independent material testing experts, Lucideon*. Temperature C after 60 minutes: Find a sample of Volcanic Limestone at your local Victoria + Albert dealership. Victoria + Albert blends milled Volcanic Limestone with high quality resins to bind these strands into a complex 3D matrix. The finished result is QUARRYCAST - a world class composite with an exceptional strength to weight ratio. 23.1MPa Victoria + Albert Baths QUARRYCAST 36.5 34.8 QUARRYCAST Steel Enamel 7MPa Leading acrylic & composite bath brand (Avg) 34.7 Cast Iron A stone rich unique alternative to both cast-iron and acrylic which produces a 100% hand finished, one piece product packed with desirable natural properties and backed by a 25 year guarantee for your peace of mind.
