Materials

At Sauna Craft we aim to cater for all styles and budgets, without compromising on quality.

Quality and responsible sourcing are at the core of Sauna Craft’s principles. All materials we use are of the highest quality and are chosen with care, taking into account colour, finish and texture in order to create the authentic Sauna experience.

Internal Cladding

  • Aspen

    A beautiful pale wood grown in Finland, Aspen has been used in Saunas in Finland throughout the ages due to its soft silky nature. It is naturally knot and resin free which ensures it stays safe to touch at high temperatures.

  • Thermo Aspen

    Treated up to 190°c, Thermo Aspen gives an incredibly luxurious finish to the Sauna with incredible life expectancy. The treatment ensures the wood is incredibly stable to moisture change and the heat of the Sauna and produces a beautiful caramel colour.

  • Western Red Cedar

    Western Red Cedar is a soft, colourful timber with an aromatic, soothing scent. It is highly resistant to rot and decay and possesses excellent dimensional stability, proving itself as the premier choice for Sauna cladding. The boards differ greatly from one another giving a beautiful multi-tone affect.

  • Spruce

    Although not as soft or flawless as the other timbers on offer, Spruce remains stable in the Sauna environment and is the most traditional and cost effective of the cladding options we offer proving a very good internal cladding material when building a financially accessible Sauna.

External cladding

  • Wiltshire larch cladding

    AA grade, kiln dried larch cladding with a half lap profile. We can machine almost any profile timber should you have your own preference.

  • Stained cladding

    We can offer many cladding color options. We use a tint oil rather than a paint ensuring the true nature of the wood prevails through.

  • Rough sawn wayney edge Douglas Fir

    A highly durable locally grown timber, for a more wild, rustic style.

  • Corrugated Iron

    The Harvia M3 has a classic design and is suitable for smaller, wood burning Saunas.

Roofing options

  • Standing seam roof

  • Living roof

    We love building living roofs and giving something back, particular when building Saunas in small gardens and directly reducing green space. We can plant these in sedum or wildflower.

  • Slate

    We source the highest grade of Welsh slate for our slate roofs and for truly bespoke builds we can offer slate for vertical walls.
