All Spa Covers are Not Created Equally
There are cheap, inferior-grade
replacement covers for hot tubs on the market, but we will not sell
them. We'd lose a good customer (you) when those covers
failed after a year or two, while wasting your energy dollars.
Premium Vinyl Outer Skin More Colors than any other manufacturer
Our 30 oz. marine-grade vinyl
is manufactured with higher levels
of mildew inhibitors and special plasticizers. It is the
top grade and most expensive
vinyl.
Closed-Cell EPS Foam Core Ideal Taper for Water
Run-off and Strength
We use thicker closed-cell aquatic grade virgin EPS
insulating cores with better R-value and moisture resistance.
Some cover makers use cheap 3.5" construction-grade foam or
taper down to a flimsy 2" thin-- not a good idea.
Zinc-Coated 20 ga. Steel Reinforcement Not Flimsy Aluminum or Thin Steel
Dual 20-gauge galvanized steel C-channels
provide reinforcement across the core to prevent sagging, gaps and heat loss. We know from long experience that
heavy-guage steel, although more costly to fabricate, is best.
Caution: Aluminum
channels will eventually begin to sag, causing heat loss around the cover's perimeter. Rainwater puddles then form, which causes more
sagging. Galvanized steel channel is up to 2.6 times more rigid than
aluminum.
Note: All other major cover makers use thinner 22-26
gauge steel, or aluminum.
VaporShield Heat-Sealed Liner What You Don't See
Our blue VaporShield 604™ liner encases
the entire foam core, providing a water infiltration barrier.
Maintains the core's R-Value much better than ordinary
polyethylene (bread bag plastic) used by other cover
manufacturers.

Double-Wrapped
Core
- ideal low cost upgrade for double protection from water intrusion,
the leading cause of premature hot tub cover failure.
VaporShield™ is a
trademark of Gulf Aerospace Polymers Inc.
Zippered Access to Insulating Core Rustproof - Commercial Grade
Two heavy-duty zippers (concealed below
the hinge fold) run the full width of each side of DuraTherm
covers. Simply unzip to inspect the core. Our
insulating panels are removable,
should replacement or cleaning ever be necessary.
Double Ply Matching Handles & Other Details
Two color-matching reinforced double ply
top handles are provided with every spa cover, standard.
As shown (right) DuraTherm covers feature a
super-reinforced multi-layer cover hinge and specially engineered pads
to block heat escape, plus multiple moisture drains. All
standard.
Four (4) color-matched, reinforced locking
tie down straps with latches and key are provided for spa cover security.
Warning: Inferior brands have
only 2 tie downs, a safety hazard which subjects
the cover to wind damage, promotes heat loss, and indicates shoddy
craftsmanship.
Skirt & Gussets
The skirt (or apron) is meticulously sewn
from two layers of vinyl and will be made long or short as needed (minimum skirt length is
1-1/2") or we can make your cover with no skirt.
High quality DuraTherm covers feature gusseted skirts, as
pictured. (Gussets are carefully sewn sectional skirts, which
appear as slits in the corners). Skirts made this way hang
straighter, fit better, and have less tendency to bunch-up under
the cover when setting it on the spa.
Important: Poorly-made covers
use one piece continuous skirts without gussets. Requiring less
sewing, they're cheaper to manufacture, but have inherent problems. If the skirt folds under the cover
it prevents an adequate seal to the spa rim, resulting in wasted
energy. Even more important, on hot days sunlight can cause extreme
heat build-up under the skirting of covers without gussets, which
can damage the spa's acrylic. Avoid hot tub covers without proper gussets.

Double-Wrapped
Foam Core Vapor Shield 604™ Water Barrier x 2
Highly Recommended - Prevents Waterlogged Covers
Adding our optional double
VaporShield 604™ heat-seal water barrier can double the
longevity of your hot tub cover and help prevent water-logging.
Far superior to ordinary poly liners used by most other
hot tub cover makers. Water-logged spa covers have virtually
no R-value, so prevention of water intrusion is your best
defense for long cover life and energy savings in the long
run.
In addition, the small dead air space between the two membranes
adds even more insulation value (approx. R-2) similar to a
double-pane window in your home.
Full Length Thermal Seal Saves Energy Dollars
Highly Recommended - Prevents Heat-loss
An energy-saving upgrade for colder climates or to cut heating costs anywhere.This seal system spans the entire void between the two halves of the spa cover.
Effectively eliminates heat loss through the hinge and reduces spa heating time. Pays for itself by saving energy dollars all year.
Load Duty
2 lb.
Core
Higher Strength, Durability, and R-Value
(boosts Standard cover to R16.5, Super-Insulated model to R-24)
High Density core provides extra top load
bearing for hot tubs used in snow climates, or anywhere higher
strength is a plus. You'll also achieve increased heat
retention, which may pay for the cost of this upgrade several
times over the life of the cover.
This 2 lb. aquatic-grade foam core is stronger to resist
cracking or fractures, resists water absorption even better, and
enhances the overall life span of a spa cover. A great value.
Note: Avoid excessive snow
accumulation on any spa cover.
Add the Load-Duty upgrade to our thicker Super-Insulated 5">3"
Model for the strongest cover we've ever offered (sometimes referred
to as a "walk-on cover" in the industry).
NOTE: No spa cover should be used as a regular walkway or play area.
5">3" covers with 2# Load-Duty upgrade are generally capable of supporting an
average-size
stationary adult, but to prevent core damage and vinyl
abrasion, it is best to avoid walking or sitting on any spa
cover. Excess snow should be removed. Some sellers make
exaggerated claims touting outlandish weight loads, but load
handling can't honestly be expressed in pounds.
We won't play that game, because there are just too many
variables in the way weight is distributed across the surface
area.
Need it fast? Expedited production is now available for a very reasonable extra cost. With this service, your cover will be finished in 2 business days or less, so you'll receive it about a week earlier than with our normal service.
