Our Material | Victoria + Albert Luxury Baths UK

Our Material

Our specially developed QUARRYCAST™ material is made from a unique blend of Volcanic Limestone™ and high-performance resins.

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.
