Which material to choose?
Which material to choose for your hot tub? Acrylic, stainless steel or mosaic
When choosing a hot tub, we often focus on the number of seats, massage jets or available equipment. However, one element is just as important: the manufacturing material.
Acrylic, stainless steel, or mosaic each offer very different characteristics in terms of aesthetics, comfort, customization, and maintenance.
At Provence Spa, we have chosen to work with Aquavia Spa, one of the few European manufacturers offering these three types of finishes. Here's what you need to know to choose the one that best suits your project.
Acrylic hot tub: the most versatile choice
Acrylic is currently the most common material for residential hot tubs.
It is appealing due to its excellent balance of comfort, performance, and ease of maintenance.
Its main advantages are:
- excellent thermal insulation;
- a pleasant surface to the touch;
- a wide choice of shapes and colors;
- high resistance to UV rays and treatment products;
- simple daily maintenance.
It is the ideal solution for installation in a garden, on a terrace, or under a pergola.
Stainless steel hot tub: contemporary design
Stainless steel is a high-end material that provides a unique visual identity.
Highly valued in hotels, professional spas, or contemporary architectural projects, it appeals with:
- its modern aesthetic;
- its high corrosion resistance;
- its longevity;
- its ease of cleaning.
Stainless steel offers a decidedly designer style while ensuring excellent durability, even in demanding environments.
Mosaic hot tub: a completely personalized project
The mosaic hot tub represents the pinnacle of personalization.
Each creation becomes a true architectural piece, perfectly integrated into its environment.
Its main advantages are:
- a fully customizable finish;
- a high-end appearance;
- excellent durability;
- harmonious integration into a garden, terrace, or wellness area.
Depending on your desires, it is possible to choose colors, textures, and finishes to create a truly unique hot tub.
Why did we choose Aquavia Spa?
At Provence Spa, we select our manufacturers with the utmost care.
We chose Aquavia Spa mainly because the brand controls its entire manufacturing process in its factory near Barcelona.
This control allows it to offer hot tubs made with materials selected for their quality, resistance, and durability.
Another strong point: Aquavia is one of the few European manufacturers to offer three different universes:
- acrylic hot tubs for residential and family use;
- stainless steel hot tubs for contemporary projects and high-end wellness areas;
- fully customizable mosaic hot tubs for exceptional creations.
This diversity allows us to meet almost all projects, without compromising on manufacturing quality.
Which material is the most durable?
All three materials are designed to last for many years when properly maintained.
The choice mainly depends on your project:
Choose an acrylic hot tub if you are looking for:
- excellent value for money;
- a comfortable and easy-to-maintain hot tub;
- a wide choice of models.
Choose a stainless steel hot tub if you want:
- a contemporary design;
- a high-end finish;
- very high resistance.
Choose a mosaic hot tub if you are looking for:
- a custom creation;
- perfect integration into your environment;
- a unique and personalized hot tub.
The right choice primarily depends on your project
No material is inherently better than another.
The best hot tub is the one that meets your expectations, your lifestyle, and your environment.
That's why, at Provence Spa, we always take the time to discuss with our clients to understand their project before guiding them towards the most suitable solution.
Our opinion
The material of your hot tub influences both its aesthetics and your enjoyment of its use.
This is also one of the reasons why we trust Aquavia Spa. The brand is not limited to a single technology or a single finish: it offers a real range of solutions, from family acrylic hot tubs to the most prestigious stainless steel or mosaic creations.
This diversity, combined with European manufacturing and high-quality materials, allows it to meet both residential projects and the most ambitious creations.
For us, this adaptability is Aquavia's strength and allows us to support each client with a solution truly suited to their project.
