Welcome to Ukko Saunas & Tubs
For centuries people from all cultures enjoyed the relaxing pleasures and therapeutic benefits of warm water soaking. As early as Greeks we see the evidence of hottubs recreational popularity and heating benefits.
The age old tradition of wooden cooperage (barrel making), stems back thousands of years, and has long been used to hold liquids including wines and spirits. Cedar and Oak were popular materials due to their natural resilience to decay and their expansive properties when soaked.

Different Heating Options:
Four different heating systems are available for you to choose from - electric, natural gas, LPG and wood fired heaters. Ukko's Eco-friendly Chofu Wood Fired Heating Systems use no electricity and are great for cottage hot tubs or our smaller Ofuro soaking bath tub.

Probably the most important thing of all. If something does happen to your hot tub or if you are concerned about any of the features of the tub, it is so great to have a company that backs up everything they make and sell. It's also great to know that you are just a phone call or e-mail away from getting answers to whatever questions you may have. This puts your mind at ease and you can't put a price on that.
And Finally:
What makes UKKO cedar tubs to stand out, compared to other "spas", is the ambience and aromatherapy that can only come from a natural wooden cedar tub. Our classic wooden tubs are almost 122cm deep. This alone provides a unique buoyancy or floating effect. This combined with the powerful hydro therapy jets makes Ukko Tubs a pleasurable experience that is hard to beat.
