Reddish sauna wood
The wood that the sauna is made of is the most important feature. There are a few types you can choose from.
Spruce
This type of wood doesn’t conduct wood or drip resin.
Pine
This type of wood will leak some resin at high temperatures. Try looking for pine wood without knots. In time, the wood’s color will turn into a shade of gold.
Cedarwood
This reddish colored wood is chosen especially for its very pleasant aroma.
Tips
- Painted or stained wood isn’t good because it can release toxins.
- Wood that conducts heat well isn’t effective to use for a sauna.
