Advantages of using TubBlox on your Hot Tub or Pool Build

Constructing TubBlox walls is simple and not labour-intensive. As I have mentioned above, TubBlox are made with incredibly lightweight expanded polystyrene and are hollow in the middle.

The TubBlox are designed with grooves that interlock and allow for easy stacking. The entire construction process is very similar to building with ‘Lego’ blocks.

This building method reduces a significant amount of time compared to a conventional building style. Think about laying blocks. If you are a DIYer like me, you don’t do it very often and it takes forever to get it right. With TubBlox, it’s done in a fraction of the time. They are also much bigger than brick or cement blocks so you need to lay less of them. Again, when you don’t do it that often this is a complete blessing.

Forming up for a concrete pour not only is time consuming but also requires a large amount of timber to do so – timer costs are expensive at present so this can be prohibitive for some. You don’t need the timber for TubBlox – they just glue together – literally! – then fill with concrete!

You can either order in your concrete and have it pumped into the forms (up to 1.75m /5.75’) high or you can mix it yourself. I would recommend buying this in and ordering 4000psi concrete with fibres added for strength. If you must mix and pour it by hand or with a machine, make sure you vibrate it down well.

As you can pour the concrete into the hollow blocks using a concrete pump. You also do not need to stress over stripping and cleaning the forms when you are ready to continue with the project.

While this process can cost slightly more than traditional building techniques using concrete, the amount of labour and time you save using this process will generally make up the difference—particularly compared to the cost of other popular standard alternative insulation techniques.
