In an age dominated by steel and synthetic materials, the appeal of natural craftsmanship is returning especially in wellness design.
The Premier Red Cedar Cold Plunge Tub captures that essence: a union of nature, performance, and aesthetic beauty.
This isn’t just about looks. The choice of red cedar wood transforms the cold plunge from a simple piece of equipment into an immersive ritual one that engages the senses, restores calm, and reconnects you with the natural world.
Why Red Cedar?
Red cedar has long been used in spas, saunas, and outdoor architecture for its natural antimicrobial oils and superior weather resistance.
It doesn’t warp or crack easily, even under New Zealand’s changing weather, and resists mould and bacteria critical for environments exposed to moisture and varying temperatures.
Its thermal stability also helps maintain consistent water temperature, reducing heat exchange and improving energy efficiency an underrated but valuable advantage when you’re cooling water to 2–10 °C.
Design Meets Functionality

The Psychological Side of Recovery
Beyond temperature, the environment plays a powerful role in recovery.
Natural materials like wood trigger relaxation responses, reducing cortisol levels and creating a sense of calm. This aligns with findings in Environmental Health Perspectives showing that natural elements in recovery environments improve stress recovery and cognitive function.
In essence, a cedar cold plunge offers more than recovery.
For the Home or Club
Whether placed beside a sauna, gym, or garden deck, the cedar tub becomes the visual and emotional centrepiece of a wellness space.
It looks beautiful, feels authentic, and performs with precision an example of how recovery can be both functional and deeply personal.

The Premier Red Cedar Cold Plunge Tub isn’t just a product, it's a statement.
A reflection of craftsmanship, recovery, and respect for nature. It bridges the gap between wellness and design, bringing luxury performance into everyday life.
