The Luxury Tub Material - Englishcast by V+A

Bath tubs can be manufactured of many different materials. Enameled cast iron, acrylic and solid surface stone are today's industry standard. Victoria and Albert have been manufacturing their tubs and sinks from a very unique material, and here is why...



Victoria and Albert made their mark on the industry by producing gorgeous free standing bathtubs. Each tub is a work of art and the focal point of any bathroom. As if producing a unique product is not enough, they also cast each tub out of a proprietary material called ENGLISHCAST. This material is a mixture of volcanic limestone and resin and has major advantages over the typical solid surface tubs that the competition makes. This unique material is 100% one piece is hand finished and has natural properties that we all want that make ENGLISHCAST the perfect material for tubs.


Volcanic limestone is formed when liquid magma acts on chalky limestone. The heat and pressure transforms the naturally soft rock into incredibly hard strands. V+A then blend this rock with special high quality resins to complete and bind the strands into a complex material. This material is naturally strong which will ensure your tub does not crack or flex. ENGLISHCAST is also naturally glossy white and is stain resistant.


ENGLISCAST is naturally warm to the touch due to its insulating properties. Besides for its strength, Victoria and Albert tubs are very easy to clean and renew, if something does go wrong. Since the material is solid through and trough if it does scratch, you can just buff and sand it out.

Victoria + Albert carries a wide range of bathtubs, sinks, bathroom furniture and even faucets. From modern to transition, their offering is only matched by their design, quality and craftsmanship. Call or email Focal Point Plumbing & Hardware to learn more and to purchase.
