What are the types of wood used:
QUALITY WOOD OPTIONS:
EUCALYPTUS:
This is the ultra-premium wood option for its consistent colour, beautiful grain, contemporary aesthetic, density, durability and strength. A green product that grows quickly with minimal environmental impact. Though known for its distinctive aroma, there is no fragrance in our eucalyptus wood, except possibly the fresh-cut smell of handmade items.
CEDAR:
The classic sauna choice for Euca/Cedar interiors, offers natural moisture resistance. Doesn’t expand or contract with temperature changes, so less likely to bend or warp. This sauna wood is of the highest quality, beautifully aesthetic. Sourced from Vancouver Island where the grain is dense with the deepest red colour of any western red cedar. PEFC-certified (comes from a sustainably managed forest).
BASSWOOD:
A beautiful hypoallergenic wood, the preferred choice for sensitivities or allergies. It doesn’t emit fragrances and is completely safe for those with allergies, though a new sauna may smell of fresh-cut wood. Consistent in color containing few knots. A durable hardwood not likely to warp or bend with temperature changes. Perfect for commercial use. Sourced in the U.S. FSC-certified (comes from sustainably managed forest.)
