Why Moji Chooses the Best for their Hot Tubs
When you invest in a Moji Hot Tub, you’re choosing craftsmanship, durability, and materials selected specifically for New Zealand conditions. One of the most defining features of every Moji tub is its beautiful, long‑lasting cedar cladding — and that’s no coincidence.
Our cedar panels are supplied by ITI NZ (previously Hermpac), one of the country’s most respected timber specialists. Their Western Red Cedar has long been the benchmark for premium exterior applications, trusted by architects and builders nationwide. It’s the perfect match for Moji’s commitment to quality and natural beauty.
Why Western Red Cedar Is the Gold Standard
Western Red Cedar is renowned for its performance outdoors. It’s naturally durable, dimensionally stable, and resistant to moisture, decay, and insects — all without relying on harsh chemical treatments. Its fine grain and warm tones make it a favourite for architectural cladding, and it performs exceptionally well in New Zealand’s varied climate.
For a product that lives outdoors year‑round, cedar simply outperforms alternatives.
Sourced From Specialists in Premium Timber
Moji’s cedar panels are supplied by ITI NZ, formerly Hermpac — a name synonymous with high‑grade timber for decades. Their cedar is used across the country in premium cladding, panelling, and joinery projects, ensuring every Moji tub is wrapped in timber that meets architectural standards.
This means your hot tub isn’t just built to look good — it’s built to last.
Five Cedar Stain Options to Suit Every Outdoor Space
Your Moji Hot Tub should feel like a natural extension of your home. That’s why we offer five premium cedar stain options, each chosen to enhance the timber’s natural beauty and complement a wide range of architectural styles. These options are listed on the Moji website’s customisation page.
Cedar Stain Options
- Cedar — A warm, classic timber tone that highlights the natural grain
- Kwila — Rich and earthy, perfect for pairing with hardwood decks
- Blackbean — Deep and contemporary, ideal for modern outdoor spaces
- Charcoal — A bold, architectural finish that adds contrast and drama
- Lancewood — A refined, mid‑tone option that blends beautifully with native planting
Whether you prefer a natural look or a more modern aesthetic, there’s a stain that will make your Moji tub feel right at home.
Crafted for Performance in NZ Conditions
New Zealand’s climate can be demanding — from coastal salt air to high UV and frosty winters. That’s why our cedar panels are:
- Selected for consistency and grade
- Machined for precision fit
- Installed with ventilation and drainage in mind
- Finished to enhance natural durability
The result is cladding that stays straight, true, and beautiful for years.
Low Maintenance, High Reward
Cedar ages gracefully. You can let it silver naturally for a coastal, organic look, or apply a protective oil to maintain its rich colour. Either way, cedar’s natural resilience means less upkeep and more time enjoying your soak.
A Natural Material That Complements the Moji Experience
Cedar enhances the sensory experience of owning a Moji tub:
- It smells incredible
- It feels warm and tactile
- It blends seamlessly into decks, gardens, and native planting
- It elevates your outdoor space with a premium, architectural finish
Your hot tub becomes more than a product — it becomes a feature.
