Stone that
holds the light

Basins, bathtubs and countertops cast in-house from acrylic stone. The light is not attached from outside — it lives inside the material.

About the brand

We do not make sanitary ware,
we make light

«Stone that holds the light»

ALBELA has rethought the way artificial stone is worked: the monumentality of stone and the physics of light in a single piece. Our aim is to prove that light-composite products of world standard can be designed and made in Russia.

Every piece rests on an understanding of polymer chemistry. Our base in Kirishi, our laboratories and SAFIT Group experience let us rebuild the classic casting technology: we run the process from synthesising the binder formulation to the fine tuning of the material's light transmission.

Material

Acrylic versus
polyester

Most Russian manufacturers work on modified polyester resin containing styrene. We cast on pure acrylic — and here is what that changes.

No styreneNo odour in contact with hot water and no change of properties under household chemicals
Fully repairableScratches are removed by local sanding, with no visible edges or cloudy patches
Colour stabilityNo yellowing under UV for decades — which matters most in white
High impact resistanceAn elastic matrix absorbs everyday knocks and builds up no internal stress

Production

We cast the stone and make things from it

The sheet is cast on our own site in Kirishi, where it is also CNC-cut, thermoformed, bonded into a monolith and polished. No bought-in sheet, no third-party pieces.
