Vitrite bath with elephant feet
This large bath is a copy of a ceramic bath from the 1930's.
Made in England out of a very durable product called Vitrite™ (Stone, minerals, resin). It is much harder and heavier then Acryl which is mostly used for synthetic baths. The bath is 120 kg, this gives it an incredible stability.
Vitrite™ is a very "warm" material, it stores the heat well. Dirt can't stick to the dense surface. It should only be cleaned with warm soapy water and wiped dry.
For a complete installation, it requires the bath, the drain-overflow set, the adapter set for Switzerland and a set of elephant feet.
Additionally to the items listed above, there are costs for wooden packaging and transport from England. (85650.CR + 85650.TR)
The waste and overflow must be siphoned separately in the floor. A service opening is required for this.
