Sauna GRADE western red cedar

Northwest select sauna grade western red cedar…..

is ideal for use in a sauna due to several key properties, which include:

Dimensional Stability: This type of cedar has minimal shrinkage and swelling, which is crucial in the fluctuating heat and humidity of a sauna. The old growth, tight vertical grain pattern enhances this stability, ensuring the wood remains straight and does not warp or cup over time.

Low Density: Western Red Cedar is lightweight and has a low density, making it an excellent insulator. This property helps maintain the sauna's heat efficiently.

Aromatic Qualities: The natural aroma of cedar is pleasant and contributes to a relaxing sauna environment. It also contains natural oils that are resistant to decay and insect damage.

Thermal Conductivity: Cedar has a low thermal conductivity, meaning it does not get excessively hot to the touch, reducing the risk of burns and making it comfortable to sit on even in high temperatures.

Aesthetic Appeal: The clear vertical, tight pencil grain pattern is visually appealing, providing a smooth, uniform look with no knots and imperfections, enhancing the overall aesthetic of the sauna interior.
