From the wash tub to the bathtub
With the rapid development of urbanisation at the end of the 19th century, water pipes were gradually laid throughout residential buildings. Nevertheless, the private bathroom with its luxurious porcelain bathtub was still reserved for only a few privileged social classes for a long time. Body washing was usually carried out in filled wash tubs. Around the turn of the century, the cheaper cast iron bathtub could be manufactured industrially and gradually became more widespread.The freestanding cast iron bathtub remained the epitome of private bathing culture until the 1950s. For many years, it was then replaced by simple, functional built-in bathtubs made of sheet steel. Today, the cast-iron bath is finding its way back into our bathrooms as a special design element.

Materials
Cast iron is a resistant, dimensionally stable and durable material. It also retains heat excellently - the bath water cools down less quickly than in sheet steel or acrylic tubs.The inside of the tub is coated with a dense, glass-hard and smooth layer of enamel. This is extremely hard-wearing and easy to clean. The highly brilliant, slightly irregular enamelling gives the bath its special shine. Exterior finish
The outside is coated with white enamel as standard. Enamel paint is a high-gloss paint based on synthetic resin that runs well. As a special version, we can offer you a coloured paint finish in a RAL colour specified by you. Alternatively, it is also possible to paint with DB paints. These have a slightly metallic character due to their micaceous iron oxide content.Bathtub feet
The bathtub feet are the decorative element of the freestanding bathtub. They are also made of cast iron and are available in five different designs:- black matt primed
- brushed matt nickel-plated
- chrome-plated
- brass-plated
- white lacquered
Mounting and care

Mounting
The bathtub can be installed with both a floor drain and a wall drain. The respective accessories (siphon and drain pipe) must be selected accordingly. The technical details should be clarified with your plumber, who is familiar with the conditions on site.For shipping reasons, the bathtub feet are not pre-assembled. These are attached on site to the corresponding fixtures on the underside of the bath using the screws provided.
All installation work must be carried out by a specialist. We accept no liability for damage caused by improper mounting.
