When choosing the wood for your sauna, first consider these few things:
- Do I or any members of my family have any wood allergies?
If there are wood allergies, you would want to consider hemlock.
If there are no wood allergies, consider either wood.
- Where will I be placing the sauna in my home?
Once you know what room you will be placing your sauna in, you can then choose which color wood will best fit your décor.
The wood of the sauna does not add or remove from the saunas efficiency. It all depends on what you would like to see every time you see your sauna.
Hemlock has a clean, contemporary blonde color, giving it a sophisticated appearance that is versatile in any décor.
Red cedar is subtly aromatic and will enliven your senses. Most steam saunas are made from cedar wood for the reason that bacteria will not grow on the cedar, making it a great choice for a sauna. Cedar also lasts longer than other wood.
