Most Hot Tub Covers you see on Hot Tubs in showrooms around the country, were just an afterthought. Far more effort was put into the development of the Hot Tub itself and designing it to heat the water and pump it through the assorted jets. It’s easy to understand considering the amount of money that goes toward the spa as opposed to what goes on top of it.
Having the Hot Tub itself properly insulated is important but the nature of heat is to rise. Just throwing a piece of rigid foam building material over the top of the Hot Tub seems logical until you actually put it into use. What works fine in a dry environment in construction is not anything like the moist, warm steam saturated space above a hot tub.
The air spaces in Rigid Foam Hot Tub Covers, begin to fill with moisture and the foam becomes completely saturated. Long before you notice the added weight the insulation value of the foam hot tub cover is greatly compromised. If you asked the foam manufacturer about it they would agree that this product (the foam) is not designed for use in a moist environment.
