I'm installing a 3'x6' tub in a corner below 2 South/South West facing windows.
I have been looking at acrylic tubs thinking the sunlight wouldn't be a problem because acrylic hot tub are in the sun all day. Then someone mentioned hot tubs have covers to hold the heat in as well as protect them from UV.
Are hot tubs made from a UV protected acrylic while indoor baths may not be?
Should I be concerned with the sunlight on the acrylic enough to be looking at installing a cast iron tub instead?
Don't want to be pulling the bath out for at least 10 years.......or longer.
