The Tubmarine, a premium ice bath finished in steel and Kebony wood, is a must have for those who have everything this Christmas, embodying sustainable luxury through its innovative design.
Launched in 2013, with the aim of creating a world leading hot tub, Tubmarine collaborated with engineers and suppliers in the UK and Europe to produce a range of luxury wood-fired hot tubs, marrying top grade engineering design and craftsmanship with premium, eco-friendly materials.
Building on the established success of the hot tubs over the past ten years, Tubmarine have launched a new stainless steel ice bath, an exceptional piece of equipment designed to deliver optimum performance in athletic recovery. The durable stainless-steel construction ensures longevity and resistance to wear and tear, making it a reliable investment for athletes and fitness enthusiasts alike.
The Tubmarine’s high-quality Italian chiller system allows for precise temperature control and efficient cooling – the bath can be thermostatically controlled down to 5 degrees – helping to reduce inflammation and promote rapid recovery. Improved recovery is just one of a range of health benefits associated with regular ice bathing, including boosted immune system, reduced anxiety, improved circulation, and better sleep.
The design is available in three colourways – stainless steel, slate grey, and stone – with the metal exterior complemented by subtle wood accenting. Finished with sustainably sourced Kebony wood, the Tubmarine brings the versatility and aesthetic of Norwegian timber to any home, without the environmental cost.
Kebony, the leading global producer of dually modified wood, transforms sustainable FSC-certified softwoods into products with the aesthetic and mechanical characteristics of tropical hardwoods. The use of Kebony wood alleviates the need for deforestation of sanctioned and endangered wood species, helping to reduce global CO₂ emissions through the protection of vital rainforest carbon sinks.
This sustainability comes at no cost to durability: Kebony’s patented dual modification process permanently transforms the wood cell walls to become 50% thicker. The resulting wood has a significantly reduced water sensitivity, does not splinter, and contains no toxins or chemicals, guaranteeing the required longevity and low maintenance. With no additional wood treatment required, and delivered with a 5-year guarantee, the Tubmarine ice bath is easy to maintain and long-lasting, making it a worthwhile investment.
Chris Galley, Founder of Tubmarine commented: “When I set up Tubmarine, I realised that I needed to use a timber that would complement the robustness of the stainless steel. I needed a hardwood, but it had to be sustainable. After much research, I came across Kebony and it ticked all the boxes: durable, stable, environmentally friendly and aesthetically beautiful. It’s central to the stylish design and I’m delighted with the result.”
Nina Landbø, International Sales Manager at Kebony added: “As an awareness of the impacts of climate change becomes more prominent, there is an increasing demand for environmentally friendly products. The Tubmarine offers a perfect solution to homeowners who are looking to ensure that their lifestyle is as eco-friendly as possible, whilst also maintaining a sense of luxury and leisure.”
The sustainable ice bath is paving the way for a new type of luxury; one which brings benefit to the environment, directly responding to the growing need for eco-friendly home and outdoor products.
The Tubmarine ice bath is now available to purchase online, with options for worldwide shipping and a UK-wide installation service. Prices start at £19,450.00.
