With its majestic curves, traditional ball & claw feet and elegant roll top, the Dolphin Freestanding Cast Iron Bath captures the enduring appeal of classical bathroom design. Generously proportioned and beautifully balanced, the Dolphin Double Ended Cast Iron Bath is designed to create an impressive centrepiece within luxurious bathroom interiors.
The Dolphin features a symmetrical double ended design, with a centrally positioned waste and overflow allowing either end of the bath to be used comfortably for reclining. Its larger than average proportions create a particularly indulgent bathing experience and make the Dolphin ideally suited to spacious principal bathrooms, including those designed for bathing à deux.
Manufactured from high-quality cast iron before being individually finished by hand in England, the Dolphin combines substantial construction with the character associated with traditional cast iron manufacturing. The interior of the bath features a durable vitreous enamel coating, creating a practical bathing surface while preserving the timeless appearance of a traditional freestanding bath.
Depending upon the requirements of the project, the Dolphin can be specified with or without tap holes, providing flexibility when coordinating the bath with deck-mounted, wall-mounted or freestanding bath taps. This versatility allows the bath to be incorporated into both traditionally influenced and more individually designed bathroom schemes.
The exterior of the Dolphin is finished using a durable aerospace-grade paint coating, with a matt finish providing a refined and understated appearance. Alternative satin and gloss finishes can also be specified, together with colours selected to closely complement leading interior paint collections including Farrow & Ball, Little Greene and Paint & Paper Library.
This extensive choice of colour allows the Dolphin to be tailored to the wider interior. Subtle neutral shades can create a restrained and timeless appearance, while deeper or more expressive colours allow the freestanding bath to become a defining feature within the bathroom.
For luxury villas, private residences, hotels and interior design projects throughout Dubai, the wider UAE and Middle East, the Dolphin offers the scale and visual presence particularly suited to generous bathroom spaces. Its combination of substantial cast iron construction, elegant roll top, decorative feet and extensive colour choice provides considerable flexibility when designing both classical and transitional interiors.
Traditional cast iron manufacturing creates a product with an inherently individual character. Minor surface undulations, pitting, burrs and other casting marks may therefore be visible beneath the painted or enamelled surfaces. These characteristics are a natural consequence of the casting and finishing processes and should not be considered defects or warranty matters, but rather inherent characteristics of an authentically manufactured cast iron bath.
Due to the nature of the casting process, a dimensional tolerance of approximately ±20mm should also be allowed when planning the installation. Cast iron baths are exceptionally substantial and can, in some instances, exceed 200kg in weight, so site access, handling, floor construction and final positioning should be carefully considered prior to delivery.
