  • Scratch-Resistant Enamel: Coated internally with fired liquid porcelain glass enamel to provide defense against chips or scratches.
  • Heavy Lift Freight Handling: Securely crated on custom wood pallets and shipped via freight lines to handle the substantial structural weight safely.

Care & Maintenance

  • Rinse the Porcelain Enamel: Rinse down the porcelain interior walls thoroughly with warm clean water after each use to wash away soap scum.
  • No Harsh Acids or Pumice: Avoid aggressive industrial acid tile cleaners, heavy scrubbing crystals, and scratching wire brushes.
  • Wipe Basin Surfaces Dry: Wipe the interior porcelain surface dry using a soft microfiber towel to prevent hard water stains.
  • Clean Enamel Gently: Clean the vitrified porcelain interior surfaces weekly using mild liquid dish soap and a non-scratch sponge.
  • Inspect Exterior Shell Skins: Wipe down the painted outer iron skin occasionally with a damp cloth to clear out dust.
  • Check Leveling Feet Pegs: Ensure the ornamental iron leveling feet caps stay snug against your tile layout to eliminate structural rocking.

Did You Know?

  • Liquid Glass Sintering: The brilliant inner skin is created by dusting powdered glass onto glowing red-hot iron castings, instantly melting and fusing them into an ultra-dense waterproof shield.
  • Sound Dampening Qualities: The immense physical thickness of cast iron absorbs water vibration completely, making it the quietest tub material to fill.
  • Generational Durability: Antique architectural salvage yards frequently discover operational cast iron tubs over a century old that only require a quick surface polish to shine again.
  • Custom Painted Exteriors: The raw sand-blasted exterior iron coating can be coated in high-durability epoxy paints to create striking custom black or metallic hues.

Styles & Installation

  • Classic Single Slipper Cast Iron: Rises gracefully at one end to form a majestic, supportive sloping backrest for the ultimate luxury reclining soak.
  • Double Ended Center Drain: Slopes symmetrically on both ends with pre-cut plumbing holes situated in the central waist line for balanced styling.

Mistakes

  • Ignoring Floor Substructure Strength: Placing a massive cast iron basin onto un-reinforced floor boards, leading to structural floor bowing or shifting.
  • Dropping Metal Tools Internally: Letting heavy metal wrenches slip onto the fired porcelain enamel during assembly, chipping the protective glass glaze.
  • Dragging Feet Across Tile: Dragging the raw metal legs forcefully across new tile floors without using protective pads, scratching your tiles.
  • Using Abrasive Wire Brushes: Scrubbing off stubborn calcium rings with coarse steel wool, scratching the factory porcelain finish permanently.
