Beyond the Bubbles: Important Things to Consider When Buying a Hot Tub
Indulging in a hot tub after a long day is an unparalleled experience. Did you know that the modern concept of hot tubs originated from Japanese onsen? The Japanese built inns surrounding natural hot springs rich in beneficial minerals that are used for bathing, relaxation and rejuvenation. American soldiers introduced the onsen culture to the West after World War II, leading to the creation of home hot tubs. In the 1950s, the Jacuzzi brothers invented the first underwater hydrotherapy jet, revolutionizing the hot tub and spa industry.
Today, the market offers a variety of hot tub options, from prefabricated to custom-built designs. At Redbud Development, we specialize in both designing custom options and sourcing prefabricated ones to fulfill our clients’ wishes.
When considering a hot tub purchase or installation, several factors come into play. First, think about the hot tub’s location. Ideally, it should be conveniently close to your house for easy access, especially during chilly nights. Additionally, ensure it doesn’t obstruct your yard’s views, as prefabricated tubs may not be aesthetically pleasing.
Next, determine the hot tub’s intended usage. Will it mainly be for your family’s enjoyment or for entertaining guests? This will help determine the appropriate size.
We typically incorporate prefabricated hot tubs into elevated decks or patios, seamlessly integrating them into your backyard landscape. Elevating the tub minimizes the visibility of its less attractive sides and provides easier access. Consider the location of controls and drains, ensuring easy access for maintenance.
Custom hot tubs offer unparalleled luxury, often integrated with swimming pools for a cohesive aesthetic. They can be designed in various shapes and sizes, enhancing your property’s overall appeal.
