Premium Hot Tub Cover (Round) Walk-On – 200cm Grey

Fibreglass-reinforced spa cover with aluminium core for superior strength, insulation, and all-weather durability.

♨️ Product Overview

The Premium Hot Tub Cover (Round) Walk-On in Grey is the heavy-duty option in the Premium range, purpose-built for spa owners who need extra structural strength without sacrificing insulation performance. This cover features a fibreglass layer reinforcement on top of the standard galvanized steel C channel, giving it enhanced load-bearing capability that sets it apart from the standard Black variant.

Wrapped in Weathershield fabric with an aluminium-core foam interior (12cm to 8cm taper, 25 kg/m³ density), the Walk-On Grey delivers excellent heat retention while protecting your spa water from dirt, debris, and the British weather. The water-resistant Weathershield exterior keeps the cover lightweight and easy to handle, even after prolonged outdoor exposure.

Certified to ASTM F 1346-91 safety standards and designed for 200cm diameter round hot tubs, this is the premium choice for homeowners, holiday lets, and commercial installations where durability and safety are paramount.

⚠️ Important: Measure your spa carefully before ordering. An ill-fitting cover reduces insulation efficiency and may not seal properly against your spa’s lip.

❄️ Insulation & Energy Efficiency

Metric	Value
Centre Thickness	12 cm
Edge Thickness	8 cm
Foam Density	25 kg/m³
Core Technology	Aluminium-wrapped

Tapered Design Benefits

The 12cm to 8cm taper provides maximum insulation directly over the water surface at the centre, where heat loss is greatest. The thinner edges allow rainwater and snowmelt to drain naturally, preventing pooling that can cause structural damage and add unnecessary weight to the cover over time.

Energy Saving Benefits

The aluminium-wrapped core combined with 25 kg/m³ high-density foam is designed to keep your hot tub warmer for longer, reducing heater run time and helping to lower energy costs. This translates to savings on both energy bills and water sanitation, as consistent temperature reduces the need for frequent chemical adjustments.

What Makes Walk-On Different?

The standard Premium cover uses galvanized steel C channel reinforcement alone. The Walk-On variant adds a fibreglass layer on top of this, creating a dual-reinforcement system that significantly increases the cover’s structural rigidity and load-bearing capability. This makes the Walk-On variant the preferred choice for environments where the cover may be subject to additional stress, such as heavy snowfall, commercial use, or holiday let properties.

⚙️ Installation Guide

Positioning Your Cover

1. Ensure your spa surface is clean and dry around the lip
2. Centre the round cover over your spa opening
3. Lower the cover gently, aligning the skirt around the edge
4. Ensure the 15cm skirt hangs evenly around all sides
5. Attach safety straps if available (sold separately)

Installation Tips

⚠️ Ensure cover sits flat on spa acrylic lip for proper heat retention

⚠️ The thicker 12cm centre should be directly over the water surface

⚠️ Skirt should hang evenly around all sides for an effective seal

💡 Tip: For added security in windy conditions, storm straps are available separately from Parts4Tubs (SKU: COV-12282).
