What is a spa cabinet?

Thermoclad™ is the ideal material for spa cabinet construction due to its superior strength, durability and insulation.

Thermoclad™ is a WPC composite made of a dense Polystyrene polymer and wood byproduct. WPC is a popular material used in the construction of spa pools due to its excellent longevity, and insulating properties.

No mould or mildew

The outside weather can create the potential for mould and rot as well as insect damage Since Thermoclad™ is made with high-quality composite material, you will not have to worry about this problem.

Helps with insulation
