We sat in multiple tubs at where they actually manufacture the tubs in Grand Rapids, Michigan.  They are made out of a more coarse, rougher material than acrylic.

But Nordics are roto-molded spas or did something change?

Ghvf:
Rougher than acrylic but not as rough as rotomolded tubs. They are made with HDPE and vacuumed into the shell...not traditional rotomold. Another way to look at it is acrylic is super slippery and your chances of slipping and falling on it are much greater. To each their own of course.

Please, are you trying to insinuate acrylic is unsafe? You seem to be saying that Rotomolded spas are rough and acrylic is too smooth and Nordic is just right.

There's just a bit of salesmanship going on.

Ghvf:
Sorry, I'm not a saleperson. Acrylic is the business standard and I'm not implying it's unsafe. Sorry to get anyone's gears out of order.
