Choosing the right configuration requires a professional review of your wellness goals and spatial constraints. You must consider the internal diameter against the number of bathers and decide between an internal or external heater. Internal heaters offer a compact, traditional footprint, whereas external heaters maximise the internal bathing space. We recommend a personalised consultation to discuss your site requirements and verify that delivery vehicles can safely reach your property to avoid logistical complications.

Premium wood-fired tubs are engineered using materials designed to withstand the British climate while providing superior thermal retention. High-performance units typically utilise thermally modified timber (Thermowood) for the exterior, which offers enhanced rot resistance and dimensional stability. Internally, medical-grade LDPE liners provide a seamless, hygienic, and UV-stabilised surface, ensuring the unit remains watertight and easy to maintain throughout its lifespan.

As wood-fired tubs are substantial, palletised items, we provide a structured logistics journey with consistent updates. You will be informed when your unit is dispatched and when it reaches the UK freight terminal. Our logistics planning involves coordinating with specialist "last-mile" partners to ensure the delivery vehicle is equipped with the appropriate offloading technology, such as a tail-lift or hiab crane, suited to your specific property type.

To ensure a successful installation, you must complete a thorough site preparation. A level, solid foundation—such as a concrete slab, reinforced paving, or structural decking—is essential to support the significant weight of the unit when filled with water and bathers. Additionally, ensure that all access routes, including gates and side paths, are clear of obstructions and meet the minimum width requirements for your specific tub diameter.

We are committed to a high-touch delivery experience. our personnel will endeavour to position the tub at your installation area and install it, site access permitting. Once the unit is positioned, a comprehensive post-delivery audit should be performed. To protect your warranty, any transit-related concerns must be documented and reported to our support team within a 24-hour verification period.

A primary advantage of wood-fired units is the straightforward, "off-grid" setup. These systems utilise natural convection heating, requiring no electricity or mechanical pumps for water circulation. After positioning the tub on its prepared base, it is filled using a standard garden hose. It is critical to ensure the heater is never ignited until the water level has reached the specified height to prevent damage to the internal heat exchanger.

To validate your warranty and maintain the aesthetic of your recovery station, specific aftercare steps are necessary. For timber-clad tubs, we strongly recommend treating the exterior wood with a high-quality, breathable wood oil immediately after installation to protect against UV degradation and moisture. Regular cleaning of the liner and periodic ash removal from the stove ensure that the system perform beautifully for years to come.

For non-standard queries—such as bespoke garden integrations or complex structural installations—you are always welcome to contact us via phone, email, live chat, WhatsApp, or video consultation. This ensures you have ongoing support and professional advice to ensure your recovery sanctuary performs perfectly for your specific needs.
