High-Quality Spa Covers
Spa Covers Made From High-Quality Foam & Vinyl
A general introduction to Cedar Mountain Manufacturing, highlighting their handmade, high-quality, and UV-resistant spa covers. Mention the key components: virgin foam, marine vinyl, and durable polyester thread.
Virgin Foam Core for Superior Strength & Insulation
Discuss the use of virgin foam core (1lb and 1.5 lb) versus recycled foam, emphasizing its superior strength and insulation properties. Explain how a higher rating (weight per cubic foot) means a stronger foam.
Tapered Covering for Better Drainage
Explain the importance of a tapered design for rain and snow runoff. Highlight Cedar Mountain Manufacturing's use of a 2" exaggerated taper, and their pioneering use of a 4"/2" taper, which also makes the cover easier to lift.
Heat-Bonded Vapor Barrier
Detail the use of a thick, 4mm virgin plastic vapor barrier. Explain how the heat-bonding process provides stronger, longer-lasting resistance to moisture and vapor saturation compared to taped materials.
Embedded Metal Reinforcement
Describe the use of embedded, 24-gauge galvanized steel channels to add strength and prevent the foam from warping. Contrast this with other manufacturers' T-bars and lateral reinforcements that can weaken the foam and rub through the vinyl.
High-Quality Marine-Grade Vinyl
Focus on the importance of using high-grade marine vinyl. Explain the benefits, including superior UV inhibitors (up to 1,500 hours), mold resistance, and a cold crack rating of -10°F. Contrast this with the use of lower-quality, service-grade, or factory reject vinyl used by competitors.
Premium Polyester Thread
Explain why polyester thread is the best choice for outdoor products due to its resistance to UV rays and mold. Contrast it with less durable cotton and nylon threads. Highlight that Cedar Mountain Manufacturing uses bonded and lubed premium polyester thread with enhanced UV inhibitors.
High-Quality Marine-Grade Vinyl
Describe the heavy wear and tear the bottom of a cover endures. Detail the use of an 11 oz. polyester scrim double-layered laminate, emphasizing its durability and resistance to shrinking compared to common 7 oz., 9 oz., or 10 oz. single-layered laminates.
Strong Hinges and Heat-Retaining Gaskets
Highlight the strength of the four-layer hinge with a single seam. Explain the function of the heat seal gaskets in preventing steam from escaping and retaining heat, and mention that Cedar Mountain Manufacturing uses the largest gaskets available.
Corrosion-Resistant Zippers
Describe the use of high-quality, corrosion-resistant zippers that are built to last the life of the cover, contrasting them with cheaper zippers that fail over time.
Reinforced Handles
Acknowledge that handles are a common point of failure and explain how Cedar Mountain Manufacturing's new design provides four points of reinforcement to withstand daily use.
Secure Fasteners
Detail the use of 8" fasteners with side-release buckles. Explain that the strap is stitched along the entire length of the skirt to provide extra strength and prevent ripping and tearing.
