Cedar is the best choice for saunas
Renowned for its natural beauty and
outstanding physical properties, Cedar is considered the best choice for saunas.
It has a uniform and fine-grained texture, rich and beautiful color and subtle
aroma. Cedar is more expensive than other woods but it is the only one that
will not crack or split with the constant heating and cooling of the sauna.
Its natural oil acts as a preservative to protect the wood from insects, mold,
mildew and fungus. Cedar also adds to the therapeutic value of the sauna because
it breaks down mucous and eliminates fluids that cause edema. Cedar is completely
safe, even for chemically sensitive people.
