A WORLD OF COLOR AT KBIS:
VICTORIA + ALBERT UNVEILS
EXCITING NEW COLOR SERVICE
Victoria + Albert celebrated the launch of
an exciting new color service at KBIS 2019,
exclusively previewed to the trade during the
three-day show in Las Vegas
Beginning in April, customers will be able to personalize the
exterior finish of their ENGLISHCAST
™
freestanding bathtubs
and basins by ordering from an amazing spectrum of 194 RAL*
colors in addition to six existing standard paint finishes. A choice
of gloss or matte finishes means customers will be able to
choose from over 28,000 variants of their bathtubs and over
5,000 variants of their basins. From brilliant blues to eggplant
purples to sunny yellows, they'll have a multitude of possibilities
to explore.
Exterior paint finishes contrast elegantly with the crisp
white ENGLISHCAST
™
interior of the freestanding bathtubs
and basins. Renowned among homeowners and designers for
its durability, ENGLISHCAST
™
is naturally white, beautifully
strong and easy to clean.
As homeowners and designers have become increasingly
brave with color in the bathroom, Victoria + Albert is perfectly
placed to offer on-trend tones. Pantone's "color of the year,"
Living Coral, has proven popular, while Elle Decor has identified
a trend for deep blues and greens. Global color trend consultancy
Colour Hive predicts that the hottest colors of the year will be a
warm palette of apricots, tawny browns and parchment.
Victoria + Albert uses state-of-the-art technology and
techniques to create a beautiful finished look that can be vibrant
and dramatic or muted and refined. Each piece is finished in
multiple layers with a proprietary catalyzed paint that is polished
by hand between applications – a process that lends exceptional
depth and luster to the colored finish and is considerably longer-
lasting than surfaces painted traditionally. All RAL painted
bathtubs and basins require a six-week lead time.
