The newly released Tubmarine hot tub makes use of sustainably-sourced Kebony wood from Norway.

The Tubmarine, a wood-fired hot tub which makes use of Kebony wood, is set to be one of 2022’s hottest garden purchases, as its innovative design continues to push the boundaries of sustainable luxury. 

Built with Kebony, a global expert in the production of sustainable wood, the Tubmarine brings the versatility and aesthetic of Norwegian timber to any home, without the environmental cost. Simple and easy to use, the Tubmarine can be ready for use in under two hours, requiring no electricity, and instead powered by the wood burner at its base. Offering a return to the outdoors, the hot tub provides a comforting refuge from the challenges of modern-day life, instead embracing natural sources of energy and forward-thinking, sustainably sourced materials. 

Crafted with an eco-friendly conscience, the Tubmarine comes with a strong commitment to continuous usage, ensuring that it does not compensate durability for sustainability. Kebony was the only wood selected to clad the Tubmarine, which is manufactured in the UK. The stylish design is fitted from 80% recycled, high specification parts and materials, featuring a quality wooden model reinforced by a stainless steel frame. Outstanding engineering meets revolutionary technology to result in a sustainable hot tub that is pleasing to the eye and blends into its natural surroundings. 

Courtesy of Kebony’s pioneering wood processing technology, the Tubmarine is expertly crafted with sustainably sourced softwood timbers that guarantee long-term stability and resistance with minimal impact to the environment. Kebony wood withstands weathering, retaining its unique appearance as the wood ages over time to acquire a beautiful silver-grey patina. With no additional wood treatment required and delivered with a 10-year guarantee, the Tubmarine is easy to maintain and long-lasting, making it a worthwhile investment. 

The Tubmarine is now available across the UK, Europe, the USA and Australia, providing more and more homes with luxurious, award-winning hot tubs. Starting at £10,250.00 (inc. VAT), the hot tub is available in two different sizes; one which caters for two, and a larger module that fits up to four or five people.  

Revolutionising the market, the sustainable hot tub is paving the way for a new type of luxury; one which brings benefit to the environment, directly responding to the growing need for eco-friendly home and outdoor products. 

Chris Galley, Founder of Tubmarine commented: “When I set up Tubmarine, I realised that I needed to use a timber that would complement the robustness of the stainless steel. I needed a hardwood, but it had to be sustainable. After much research, I came across Kebony and it ticked all the boxes: durable, stable, environmentally friendly and aesthetically beautiful. It’s central to the stylish design and I’m delighted with the result.” 

Nina Landbø, International Sales Manager at Kebony added: “As an awareness of the impacts of climate change becomes more prominent, there is an increasing demand for environmentally friendly products. The Tubmarine offers a perfect solution to homeowners who are looking to ensure that their lifestyle is as eco-friendly as possible, whilst also maintaining a sense of luxury and leisure.  

“This movement towards sustainability is a trend that we have seen over the last year, and which is projected to accelerate further in 2022, as more and more people turn to sustainable materials such as Kebony.”
