Description
Victoria + Albert QUARRYCAST®
Volcanic Limestone™ is Victoria + Albert’s name for the very special white rock that is perfect for making baths and basins.
It 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.
We blend milled Volcanic Limestone™ rock with high quality resins to bind these strands into a complex 3D matrix. The finished result is QUARRYCAST™ – a world class stone composite that delivers unrivalled strength, durability and beauty.
Our unique material is packed with naturally desirable properties:
- Durable – The naturally white surface is incredibly durable and resistant to hair dyes and bath oils
- Strong – QUARRYCAST™ is solid all the way through – more than twice as hard as acrylic with no creaking or flexing
- Warm – QUARRYCAST™ is warm to the touch with high insulating properties, keeping your bath warmer for longer
- Easy to Clean – The naturally white surface is easy to wipe clean
- Lightweight – Surprisingly lightweight, the average weight of our baths is just 72kg
- Guaranteed – 25 year consumer guarantee, 8 year commercial guarantee

QUARRYCAST™ Matt (SM)
Victoria + Albert’s Matt finish is different. Made in the cast, not by coatings or glaze, it is ‘100%’ Matt. It has a velvety feel, gentle against the skin. Our Matt finish is available across a selection of our baths and basins. |
