Hot Tub Covers are constructed with a vapour barrier fully
encapsulating and sealing the foam inserts. This barrier
protects against the leading cause of hot tub cover
destruction; water logging. The vapour barrier effectively
protects water vapour from being exposed to and ruining the
hot tub cover’s foam. We are unique in that we offer a
highly sought after 6 mil vapour barrier, while the industry
standard only consists of a 2 mil vapour barrier.
A stronger vapour barrier helps your cover last longer and
stay lighter as it protects it from the water absorption
that occurs when chemicals in your hot tub, such as chlorine
and bromine, break down the integrity of the foam core.
One of the exclusive features of our hot tub covers is that
we start with a
6 mil vapour barrier surrounding the foam,
which completely encapsulates the insulation, and is both
vacuum and heat-sealed. This provides a protective barrier
to your cover to prevent water absorption, keeping your
cover light over the years.
We highly recommend upgrading to include even more layers of
vapour barrier as it is a small investment for the
additional years your cover will remain highly efficient,
light and easy to handle.
We offer 2 protection upgrades over and above the
included 6 mil vapour barrier through the
manufacturing process, as we can double wrap the foam core
of your custom cover with a second layer of polyethylene
sheeting of varying degrees of thickness.
The 8 mil barrier consists of 2 layers, an
inner layer of 4 mil and outer layer of 4 mil.
The 12 mil barrier consists of 2 layers, an
inner layer of 6 mil and an outer layer of 6 mil is added.
In addition, each upgrade of vapour barrier protection
extends the cover's warranty period by an additional year
for 100% protection against water-logging!!
The reflective shield bounces radiant heat back into the
spa water that would normally be lost = more energy
savings!
