Redwood hot tubs are beautiful to see and the ultimate pleasure to see. They are handcrafted from the finest clear cedar. These hot tubs are well-known to last for up to 30 years, if maintained properly. The most popular type of wood used for manufacturing hot tubs is the Western Red Cedar. It looks great and its fragrance is just wonderful. The unique natural properties of woods keep hot tub manufacturers and customers coming back for age-old traditional sauna experience.
Once, redwood hot tubs were first and popular choice for hot tub construction. But the old growth redwoods have disappeared over time. These majestic trees in the west coast rain forests have been harvested or now a part of protected forest lands. Hence, redwood hot tubs can be available in very less numbers; but are generally made from smaller secondary growth or famed redwood.
But the secondary growth redwood doesn’t come with the same properties like their previous generations. These woods had very tight ring like patterns, making them resistant against rot and decay.
Now the smaller famed redwoods don’t have the same properties like the previous ones. Their ring structure is quite large and more susceptible to decay. Hence, most redwood hot tubs manufacturers have switched to other materials for the construction.
That’s why Western Red Cedar is chosen for its superiority for water applications. For centuries, cedar made canoes and water vessels have been used. Western Red Cedar has been utilized for manufacturing hot tubs. There are limited arguments about the advantages of old growth redwood hot tubs over cedar hot tubs. The most obvious difference is in their color.
Generally,
redwood hot tubs are of darker purple color whereas the cedar has
deeper red or brown color. Both woods stand intact in water; but cedar
comes with natural oils that give off exceptional aroma, making them
popular amongst hot tub owners.
Earlier, old growth redwood was readily available for the construction of hot tubs. With the increase in demands and decrease in supply, redwood hot tubs were bit expensive. That’s why most redwood hot tub manufacturers were forced to switch to alternative woods.
Above all, cedar woods are supplied in steady numbers, which give them a competitive advantage over their redwood counterparts. Even, attempts were made to manufacture redwood tubs from smaller size secondary growth famed trees; but they couldn’t be matched with cedar construction.
