ABOUT THIS SAUNA
Thermowood is created by heat treating softwood to temperatures ranging from 180 – 230° in special chamber kilns for up to 96 hours. Steam is used as a protective gas and helps to prevent the wood from splitting and becoming damaged during treatment.

Thermowood’s Characteristics & Qualities This process causes chemical and structural in the timber, altering some of its characteristics and qualities. Some of the characteristics and qualities that make Thermowood such a popular species include:
-
Dimensionally Stable – The intensive heat the wood is exposed to during its production dries out deep into the core, causing all moisture and resin to be removed from the timber. Thermowood therefore doesn’t react to changes in humidity as drastically as untreated wood does (for example, the risk of swelling, cracking and shrinkage is decreased significantly), allowing it to retain its shape far better. The wood also doesn’t secrete sap or resin even in high temperatures.
-
Environmentally Friendly – The softwood used to produce Thermowood originates from well-managed, PEFC & NZCFA-certified forests, and has no chemicals or foreign substances involved during its production. For the environmentally conscious, Thermowood is a more environmentally friendly building material to use compared to older growth species like clear western red cedar.
-
Resistance to Rot and Fungi – Due to the heating process breaking down hemicellulose, the wood doesn’t contain the appropriate nutrients to allow rot and fungi to grow and develop as easily.
-
Increased Longevity – When wood is treated with heat, its average life span is prolonged meaning your sauna will last a lifetime!
- Improved Insulation – Wood that has been heat treated is much more porous than untreated wood, vastly improving its insulating properties.
