Western cedar wood hot tubs
Premium sustainable red cedar wood from Canada
A good hot tub or sauna is made from carefully selected wood that withstands high humidity rates and severe temperature fluctuations. That’s why we at Northern Lights® work exclusively with Western Red Cedar. This North American evergreen belongs to the conifer family and grows mainly in British Columbia, Canada.
- Naturally resistant to bacteria and microbes
- No warping under extreme conditions
- Relaxing, natural aroma
- Extremely high insulation levels
Why Western Red Cedar?
All of our hot tubs are made solely from top grade Clear Western Red Cedar. Resistance to decay has long been a strong point of this cedarwood. Its aromatic scent is very pleasant and soothing. Its fibrous structure makes it the ideal wood for watertight joints, with one of the highest insulation values among the common types of timber.
This is why cedar is the wood of choice for outdoor hot tubs. We take the time-tested art of barrelmaking to extremely accurate levels by using CAD Design and milling. Our state of the art laser guided milling operates by strict tolerances and guarantees 100% accuracy. Our hot tub Quality Inspection Program results in a finished product that exceeds both our and our customers’ high standards. This attention to quality is why our hot tubs can be found in some of the most prestigious Spas & Resorts around the world.
What makes Western Red Cedar the right building material for your next project? Watch how this highly revered, durable wood is naturally resistant to decay and insect attacks, which means anything you build with it will last longer and require less maintenance.
Independent studies prove that when it comes to environmental performance, natural wood is superior to synthetic products in every way.
While other building materials generate greenhouse gasses, western red cedar actually removes greenhouse gasses from the atmosphere. And unlike brick, cement and composites, Real Cedar is renewable and biodegradable. Plus, Real Cedar is sourced from the most sustainably managed forests in the world.
Aesthetically, there really is no substitute for the natural beauty of Real Cedar. Imbued with decidedly crisp, yet superbly rich, tonal properties, Real Cedar can create sublime outdoor sanctuaries, embolden traditional home decor, provoke cutting-edge architecture and inspire innovative interiors.
Imagine – all that dynamism packed into one beautiful building material! No wonder Real Cedar is a designer’s dream come true.
