"For centuries people from all cultures enjoyed the relaxing pleasures and therapeutic benefits of soaking in hottubs. As early as the Romans we see evidence of its recreational popularity and hear of the healing effects of soaking in warm water.

The age old tradition of wooden barrel making (cooperage), stemming back thousands of years, has long been used to hold liquid including wines and spirits. Cedar and Oak were popular material due to their natural resilience to decay and their expansive properties when soaked. These techniques lead to early development of hottubs.

In the 70s' a new revolution called "plastics" took over and for a time all that was wooden was forgotten. The phrase "spa" and "hot tub" became interchangeable. However, as time went on people began to realize that plastic could never properly imitate the appearance and properties of wood. And so it is, wood has regained its popularity and the age-old tradition of 'hot tubbing' lives on"

Northern Lights Cedar Tubs is the world leader in manufacturing custom wooden hottubs and traditional soaking tubs.  We combine the age-old tradition of cooperage (barrel making) with modern manufacturing technologies to produce the finest cedar hot tubs and Japanese style soaking tubs (Ofuros).

All of our hot tubs are made using only the top grade of Clear Western Red Cedar. Resilience to decay has long been Cedars' forte. Its aromatic scent is very pleasant and soothing. It's fibrous structure makes it the ideal wood for water tightness, as well as giving it one of the highest insulating values of most common wood.  This is why cedar is the wood of choice for outdoor hot tubs.

We take the time-tested art of barrel making to extreme accuracies including Computer Aided Milling and Computer Aided Design. Working within strict tolerances, our state of the art Laser Guided Milling guarantees 100% accuracies. Our hot tub Quality Inspection Program, results in a finished product that exceeds ours' and our customers' high standards.  This attention to quality is why our hot  tubs can be found in some of the most prestigious Spas & Resorts around the world (see some of our hottub awards and commercial projects)
