Choosing the best wood for sauna

Your choice of wood for building a sauna should prioritise durability, resistance to heat and humidity. You will also need to consider aesthetics. Sauna wood costs will vary depending on your location and availability. Some options are generally considered more budget-friendly for sauna construction such as softwoods like Aspen and Spruce.

Here are some details on sauna wood panels:

• Western red cedar: Widely used for saunas, Western red cedar is more readily available in the United States and Canada. Expensive in nature, it has a reddish tint, pleasant fragrance and is known for its decay resistance, making it a reliable choice.
• Pine: Pine is one of the cheapest sauna woods and is commonly found in Europe. It’s essential to use heat-treated pine or another suitable treatment method to enhance its resistance to heat and humidity.
• Aspen: Lighter and a more economical, Pine is also a popular choice for sauna interiors. It may not be as naturally resistant to decay, but it’s typically used for benches and panelling. As with pine, proper treatment or maintenance is crucial to protect it from sauna conditions.
• Redwood: Redwood is another attractive sauna wood. It’s durable and naturally resistant to decay, making it a good choice for sauna construction. Costs will vary based on your location and its availability.
• Hemlock: Hemlock is a less expensive option, but it’s essential to use clear, kiln-dried, or heat-treated hemlock for sauna construction. It offers reasonable durability when properly maintained.
• Spruce: In some regions, spruce is a cost-effective choice for sauna interiors. It’s essential to use heat-treated or properly maintained spruce to withstand sauna conditions.
