CARRONITE - THE OUTER LAYER YOU NEED FOR A BATH
Carron Bathrooms was established in Falkirk in 1759, near the Carron River, from which the company took both its name and its water supply, which - together with local iron ore, coal and expert craftsmanship - was a vital component of its prized bathware.
After its inception, Carron Bathrooms diversified operations, manufacturing both baths and highly effective naval guns during the Napoleonic Wars that incorporated its name - Carronades.
The efficiency, durability and reliability of Carron Bathrooms’ baths and ship-sinking artillery (ironically designed to cause, rather than prevent, water damage) became a byword for excellence, and its impeccable reputation has endured to this day. Nearly three centuries later, the company’s premium bathroom products are acclaimed by satisfied customers, and recommended by many industry professionals.

Carronite
The Carron name made its reappearance within the brand designation of the unique and innovative product the company patented in 1986 to enhance its baths and to improve the bathing experience they offered – Carronite.
What does Carronite do?
Carronite adds a triple reinforcing layer to a Carron bath’s outer surface that gives it greater strength, weight and thickness than a standard bath can offer.

The Carronite coating process creates a completely rigid bath, which fuses the resilient qualities of cast-iron models with the heat-retaining properties of much lighter acrylic ones. Carronite can maintain bath water temperature for up to half an hour, making your tap-turning top-ups less frequent during leisurely lather lie-ins.
Carronite baths are secured using a unique cradle-fitting process that that keeps them completely static, providing solid under-body support whether you’re soaking for hours, or taking a two-minute shower.
All Carron Bathrooms baths are handcrafted, which ensure close attention to detail, meticulous craftsmanship and immaculate finishing. A reinforcing Carronite layer seals the bargain - and the bath.
