Calm surround

Spa pools are a welcome addition to any home, and advances in portable spa technology have made locating them outdoors increasingly popular. However, when choosing a spa, it's important to ensure that it is made from products able to withstand harsh weather conditions.

Spas made using products manufactured by Lucite International are suitable for a diverse range of climates. The Lucite XL cast acrylic is a non-porous, weatherable material that is resistant to chemicals and stains.

A highly flexible product, Lucite acrylic can be molded into a variety of shapes and sizes, such as in the Marquis Spas pictured here.

Lucite acylic is available in a range of colors and effects, including marbled or stone-like looks. Because the color goes through the entire product, rather than simply being painted on, it will not wear off over time.

Spas made with Lucite acrylic are the only spas that feature Microban® anti-microbial protection. This inhibits the growth of bacteria, which can cause stains and odors.

In addition to spa shells, Lucite offers the TimberStone surround system. This is an alternative to wooden spa cabinets which provides resistance to weather, mildew and rot, as well as protection from food and chemical stains.
