Canadian red cedar is an excellent choice for building both outdoor and indoor infrared saunas, as it resists moisture and pests thanks to its natural oil content. The effects of the infrared sauna, such as deeper sweating and improved circulation, become even more intense in this natural, healthy environment. The natural aroma of red cedar contributes to the relaxation experience during sauna use. The wood used for two-person infrared saunas is aesthetically appealing and offers a long lifespan with low maintenance needs. The use of red cedar for interior paneling and benches directly interacts with users, thus the wood's pleasant texture and scent enhance the quality of the sauna experience, making it an ideal choice for any sauna construction project.
Thermowood Alder: Ideal Choice for Outdoor Finnish Saunas, Sauna Doors, and Paneling. The use of this heat-treated wood material ensures durability and low maintenance needs, which are especially important in the high humidity environment of saunas. Thermowood decking and wall cladding provide an elegant appearance, while Thermowood ash benches and bench slats resist moisture and temperature fluctuations. Careful planning of sauna bench dimensions and bench height ensures comfort and functionality. When purchasing an outdoor Finnish sauna, models made of Thermowood alder offer a durable, aesthetically pleasing solution for any garden. Additionally, its texture contributes to the sauna's harmonious and soothing atmosphere, further enhancing the wellness experience.
Finnish trembling aspen paneling is an ideal choice for indoor saunas, thanks to the wood’s light color and beautiful texture. This tree species is native to the northern parts of Eurasia and can be found throughout Europe and North Asia, in various heights and environments. The tree can reach a height of 20-30 meters, is deciduous, and forms root suckers, which explain its dense but malleable crown. Finnish trembling aspen wood is particularly popular in the veneer and cellulose industries, which includes the production of high-quality plywood and veneer-inserted particle boards. Due to its light color, it is an especially attractive choice for sauna construction, contributing to a calm and natural atmosphere.
Natural alder paneling is an excellent choice for sauna construction due to alder wood's waterproof properties and its resistance to high humidity environments. Alder belongs to the birch family and typically grows in the damp, watery regions of Northern Europe, where it is a characteristic part of the flora in river valleys and lake districts. Alder wood is reddish in color, light, soft, and splits easily, which facilitates the manufacturing of sauna paneling and other structural elements. It is easily workable in its youth and becomes more colorful and grained as it ages, lending a rich texture and warm ambiance to the sauna. Due to its durability and waterproof qualities, alder has long been used in bridge construction, which further reinforces its suitability for sauna building.
