Enjoying a relaxing moment at home has never been easier. Installing a hot tub on a terrace or in the garden is one of the rising trends in outdoor design, allowing you to transform any private space into a place of well-being and total relaxation. However, choosing the right model requires understanding a few key factors: from available space to energy consumption.
In this definitive guide, we'll walk you through the steps to help you choose the ideal jacuzzi for your terrace or garden, with practical recommendations and specific Aquavia Spa models tailored to your needs.
Jacuzzi on a terrace or garden? Advantages and differences
Before choosing your hot tub , it's important to have a clear idea of the location. Will you install a hot tub on the terrace , or do you prefer one in the garden ?
Advantages of a jacuzzi on the terrace
- Perfect for urban homes, penthouses or townhouses without a garden.
- Feeling of privacy and easy access from inside the home.
- Ideal for more compact formats, it adapts to small spaces without sacrificing performance.
Advantages of a jacuzzi in the garden
- Greater design freedom and landscape integration.
- Enough space to install larger capacity models or even swim hot tubs .
- Possibility of creating a natural environment, with pergolas, plants or ambient lighting.
Both options offer unique experiences. A terrace hot tub is ideal for those seeking accessibility and discretion, while a garden hot tub offers greater versatility and contact with nature.
Key aspects before installing a jacuzzi at home
Whether you're considering a hot tub on your patio or a hot tub in your garden , there are a number of factors you'll want to consider:
- Soil structure and strength
For a hot tub on a rooftop terrace , it's essential to check the load-bearing capacity of the slab. A hot tub filled with water can weigh over 1,000 kg. Consult an architect or technician to ensure structural safety. - Access and installation
Choose a location with easy access for service and equipment installation. Make sure you have adequate electrical connections and, if possible, a water and sewage line. - Climate and orientation
In cold climates, opt for models with reinforced thermal insulation , such as the Nordic Insulation system. On terraces or gardens with high sun exposure, pergolas or retractable roofs are recommended to regulate the temperature.
