Interior designers: want a long-lasting, elegant hot tub? Pay attention to just these nuances!

 Increasingly, hot tubs can be seen in the courtyards of private houses and terraced houses. On the one hand, people are attracted by the possibility of enjoying a miniature spa right in their own backyard, but on the other hand, it is also a special feature that makes the garden more attractive. But how to choose hot tub, that would be perfect for your yard? Interior architects Heinike Luht and Kristiina Puusepp give their advice.

The hot tub brings many invigorating experiences to everyday life all year round and is good for both body and mind. It helps you relax, feel better emotionally and physically, and brings better sleep, which in turn leads to a whole new level of productivity in your daily activities.

As a hot tub is a very prominent feature in the home garden, it is important to have a striking harmony and elegance overlooking the yard. When choosing a hot tub, the first question is, of course, how big it should be. "It's simply a question of how much space you have in the garden and how big a group you want to enjoy the tub with. Of course, a large barrel is sometimes nice to lounge in on your own," says Heinike. However, a hot tub should be big enough to accommodate an evening with friends or family.

What kind of hot tub?

The second and not insignificant detail is to choose a heating system that suits your lifestyle. "If you only plan to use your hot tub at weekends, a wood-burning stove is the easiest solution. If, on the other hand, you want to enjoy your hot water more often than once a week, for example all year round, then electric heating is the best option," Heinike points out. In this case, it's definitely a good idea to add a filter system to the equipment to help keep the water clean and usable at all times.

In order to heat water and keep it warm afterwards in the most energy-efficient way possible, it is worth choosing a hot tub with a special insulating foam on one side. "To minimise the time and energy needed to heat the water, a thermo cover is an indispensable aid. As well as ensuring energy efficiency, it helps to keep anything that shouldn't get into the hot tub, such as leaves, pollen, rain and snow, out of the way. It is also important for safety, especially if you have young children in the family," adds Heinike.

Of course, security is no less important in other respects. In the case of an ash-fired hot water stove, a chimney heat shield and a spark arrestor help to ensure safety, and as far as all electrical appliances are concerned, it is of course worth making sure that they are of a really high quality.

Underwater lighting creates a pleasant atmosphere

Once the size and the heating method are chosen, the next step in making a hot tub a real home is to focus on functionality. "Good massage systems, for example, can help you to get rid of muscle tension and various aches and pains very easily. Air massage, in other words the bubble system, also stimulates the nervous system, strengthens the circulatory system and the body's overall resistance. Underwater light solutions, on the other hand, come to the rescue in creating just the right atmosphere and mood," says Kristiina.

There are hot tubs in very different price ranges on the market, but Kristiina urges you not to focus only on cost and fast delivery time. If you choose the right hot tub, it can serve you for 20 years! It's just the kind that has been gaining in popularity recently. Lingalaiu hot tubs.

When it comes to quality, it is worth paying attention not only to the technique, but also to the key components of the hot tub, such as the wood used for the external cladding and the finishing materials used for the internal surface. Not all glass-plastics coating materials are designed to withstand large temperature changes, nor are they designed to withstand, for example, water disinfectants. The lifetime of wooden components is also determined by the way they are treated. Knowing this, it is worth looking into whether and how the manufacturer has thought about ensuring the longevity of the hot-dip," Kristiina adds. In the case of the Lingalaiu hot tubs, for example, only environmentally friendly and extremely durable thermo-treated wood is used for the lining, and the interior is made of the highest quality glass plastic with a special coating.
