Thermoclad™ is the ideal material for spa cabinet construction due to its superior strength, durability and insulation.
Thermoclad™ is a WPC composite made of a dense Polystyrene polymer and wood byproduct. WPC is a popular material used in the construction of spa pools due to its excellent longevity, and insulating properties.

No mould or mildew
The outside weather can create the potential for mould and rot as well as insect damage Since Thermoclad™ is made with high-quality composite material, you will not have to worry about this problem.
Helps with insulation
Thermoclad™’s insulation properties help trap heat and resist moisture. This leads to improved heat retention in the spa pool, along with effective spa foam insulation.
