Hints & Tips

Your spa is completely self-contained so you can situate it just about anywhere .. on a patio, in or on a deck, sunroom or on a purpose built pad in almost any part of your garden. Thinking ahead about the positioning will help you get the ideal place!

There are some important site considerations, however:

 Delivery access:to your chosen location: Gates, overhangs, fences, steps, downpipes & guttering may all become obstructions. You may need to consider access from a neighbours garden or employ a crane. If you are in any doubt we are able to do a site visit where we can advise you on the best route in for your spa.

 The spa support base:This must be a continuous, level surface capable of handling 90lbs per square foot. The weight of the spa and water is not to be supported by the spa lip and the base of the spa should be in full contact with the support base.

 An outside water supply:and the draining location of your spa will also need to be considered. You will need to be able to safely and easily drain and re-fill your spa.

 The spas run on a 32amp supply:this ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION must be carried out by a NICEIC qualified electrician who should issue a DOMESTIC ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION CERTIFICATE. This service usually costs £450, but are pleased to be able to offer it FREE OF CHARGE with every spa we sell.

 The location is paramount:Will you be able to get to your spa easily from the house (the close it is the more you'll use it)? Is there a certain degree of privacy -often fences and trees can provide more privacy and act as windbreaks, but access to all sides of the spa may be necessary for maintenance. Space to open the lid safely is also required.

 Consider the direction of your spa and the view:A beautiful, relaxing environment can be created easily around your spa with planting and potted plants and trellising. For extra privacy a spa umbrella or simple pergola planted with fragrant vines can look fantastic.

Origin & Properties of Stone Wool

Stone wool was discovered on the islands of Hawaii at the beginning of the century. It occurs there naturally as abyproduct of volcanic activity. In its manufactured state, stone wool combines the power of rock with the characteristics of typical insulation wool. In addition, thanks to its non-directional fiber orientation, it also exhibits some unique and valuable characteristics. Thermal insulation Stone wool is an excellent insulator and a vital component of an energy efficient building. In fact Insulation saves 12 times as much energy per pound in its first year in place as the energy used to produce it. [http://www.naima.org/pages/benefits/environ/effic.html]

Sound Absorption

The non-directional fiber orientation of the stone wool helps the absorption of acoustic waves andcan reduce the intensity and propagation of noise.

Fire Resistant

Stone wool can withstand temperatures up to 2150º F (1177º C). Conequently it does not contribute either to the development and spread of fire or the release of toxic gases.

Water Repellent

Stone wool is water repellent yet vapor permeable. This means that the insulation cannot absorb water so the R-value is not affected. Additionally it is completely resistant to rot, mildew, mold and bacterial growth, contributing to a safer indoor environment.

Dimensional stability

Stone wool retains its characteristics unaltered over time. It undergoes only minimal changes in size or performance to the changing conditions of temperature and humidity.
