For all those that love their time in the soaking tub, you’re going to appreciate volcanic limestone quite a bit. Volcanic limestone tubs have been appealing to homeowners because of their ability to sustain heat and the fact that it doesn’t have a surface coating, making them impervious to chipping or peeling.

Victoria and Albert tubs have really been able to capture the form and function of these freestanding tubs. In the project shown on the right, the homeowners were drawn to the properties, as well as the beautiful shape. Victoria and Albert have dubbed their company’s product “English Cast” and it’s comprised of volcanic limestone and high-performance resins.

The tub you select can potentially be comparable, in regards to cost, to your traditional cast iron bathtubs. It just has a couple added benefits that make the classic freestanding tub even more attractive.
