The commitment to pushing boundaries and introducing exciting new launches has solidified position as a pioneer in the international luxury bathroom design industry.
Victoria + Albert’s unique material, known as Volcanic Limestone™, plays a pivotal role in the creation of their exquisite baths and basins. This remarkable substance is born when the potent forces associated with molten magma interact with the surrounding soft, chalky limestone. Under the immense heat and pressure of this transformative process, the adjacent rock undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis, resulting in the formation of an exceptionally tough composite material composed of intricate, hardened strands. These strands are meticulously blended with high-quality resins, creating a complex 3D matrix. The end product is QUARRYCAST™, a world-class stone composite renowned for its unmatched strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
QUARRYCAST™ boasts a naturally white, glossy surface that exhibits exceptional resilience, standing up to the rigors of hair dyes and bath oils. It is solid throughout, boasting over twice the hardness of acrylic without any bothersome creaks or flexing. Moreover, QUARRYCAST™ offers a warm, inviting touch, with outstanding insulating properties that keep your bathwater warm for extended periods. Its naturally glossy finish is effortlessly easy to clean, and despite its robust qualities, it remains surprisingly lightweight.
In the realm of bathroom design, personalization has emerged as a significant trend. Victoria + Albert have pioneered this movement with their new color service, allowing you to customize the exteriors of their freestanding baths and basins to harmonize with your overall bathroom aesthetics. The Victoria + Albert color finish is a multi-layered process, resulting in an exceptional depth and luster. A special catalysed paint is meticulously applied, with the surface hand-polished between each layer, culminating in a beautiful and enduring finish. You have the freedom to choose from a wide spectrum of 199 colors, available in both gloss and matte finishes. Victoria + Albert employs the RAL color system, ensuring seamless coordination with your décor. It’s important to note that color baths and basins are crafted to order, so please allow up to 6 weeks for delivery. For clarity, Victoria + Albert defines “gloss” with a 90% gloss level and “matt” with a 20% gloss level.
For more extensive projects, such as multi-room hotel and residential endeavours, Victoria + Albert offers various custom options to align with specific specifications, including anti-slip safety coatings. These coatings not only enhance safety but also feature antibacterial properties, adhering to ISO 22196 standards. They can be applied in various patterns and locations and are a breeze to maintain.
