🏆 Sauna Wood Comparison Guide

Understanding Sauna Wood Types

Choosing the right wood for your sauna is essential for durability, heat efficiency, and overall performance. Here’s a quick breakdown of the three wood types we offer:

38mm Spruce
- The most affordable and perfect for home saunas.
- Provides good heat retention but requires regular maintenance.
- Suitable for occasional use in normal indoor conditions.
58mm Spruce
- Thicker walls for better insulation, reducing long-term heating costs.
- Ideal for colder climates or frequent sauna use.
- Provides a premium sauna experience with better durability.
38mm Thermowood
- Heat-treated for superior resistance to moisture, rot, and decay.
- Best choice for outdoor commercial saunas in spas, glamping resorts, and wellness retreats.
- Designed to withstand harsh weather conditions while maintaining high performance.

All saunas are automatically priced in 38mm Spruce. Upgrades are available at:

58mm Spruce: +£395 to £595 (depending on size)
38mm Thermowood: +£995 to £1795 (depending on size)
