Our EnviroGum natural timber is a eucalyptus / gum species that is sustainably plantation grown in both Eastern Europe and South America; both sites use seeds sourced from Australia.
Sapphire have selected this particular timber for it’s properties which are quite close to cedar (softwood). EnviroGum does weigh around 30% more than cedar, but is also a lot tougher and more resistant to dinting and minor damage as it is closer to a hardwood in its composition.
This sustainably grown timber is precision machined to our cabinet profile specifications, here in Victoria.
A clear H3 durable treatment is then applied to the timber before being handcrafted into the spa cabinetry.
EnviroGum enables us to deliver an affordable timber choice for your spa that is stunning, stable and readily available.
Producing a balanced colour cast across the entire surface of the spa cabinet, EnviroGum creates a visually stunning profile with timeless beauty. It allows to you seamlessly match your design from inside out. Creatively specify complimentary hardwoods for interior applications within your home to match the EnviroGum external spa profile to cohesively complete the build.

As prices have continued to escalate at alarming rates, largely being driven by the reductions in harvesting areas of the timber in Canada, we addressed the need to provide our customers with an attractive alternative to our long-standing cedar cabinetry.

Most of these spas are over 2m square, allowing for greater personal space for each occupant, but without being so large as to take over your outside space. These spas are designed with groups in mind, big enough for the whole family or to catch up with friends. Most of the family range has been created with enlarged footwells to allow space for multiple users, including undercut footwells to accommodate even the tallest people. Many models include his and hers recliners or captain’s chairs to account for the different heights of individuals and ensure everyone has a position just for them. Their powerful air and water jets ensure a blissful therapeutic experience for all users. So if you want a slice of heaven in your backyard, a spa from the Sapphire Spas family range could be just what you are looking for.
