Bench wood for the sauna. Sauna bench wood can be made from various types of wood. We offer the most popular types of bench boards, such as: linden, black alder, abachi, cedar.
Linden and abachi are light trees. Black alder wood is slightly darker, with a red tint. African cedar can be both dark and light brown in color.
The width of the bench wood we offer varies from 90 to 94 mm, depending on the wood, and the thickness varies from 24 to 27 mm, depending on the wood.
Bench boards differ not only in color, but also in their properties. Abachi will absorb less heat than linden or black alder, and cedar the least. In addition, cedar will emit a pleasant smell in the sauna. The less the bench wood heats up, the more pleasant it is to sit or touch the benches.
Wood for sauna benches – the basis for comfort and safety
Sauna benches are the place where your body has direct contact throughout the entire sauna procedure, so the wood used here is particularly important. Properly selected wood for benches provides comfort when sitting or lying down and, in general, has a significant impact on the overall sauna experience.
Wood for sauna benches – materials that meet the highest requirements
Saunas are characterized by high and constantly changing temperatures and high humidity, which have a strong effect on all objects in the room. Ordinary construction or furniture wood would quickly lose its properties under such conditions: it would start to crack, deform, heat up, or even emit an unpleasant odor.
Wood for sauna benches is usually made from hardwoods such as black alder, linden, cedar, abachi, or aspen. These types of wood are characterized by low thermal conductivity, moisture resistance, and stability. It is these properties that help ensure the comfort, safety, and aesthetic appearance of sauna benches.
Why is it worth investing in high-quality wood for sauna benches?
First of all, for safety reasons. As mentioned above, wood for saunas is processed in such a way that it does not overheat, crack, deform, or splinter, so you can feel completely relaxed and safe when your skin comes into contact with the surface.
This type of wood is very easy to maintain and will reward you with a long service life without any worries. Choosing the right wood for sauna benches pays off in the long run, creating a pleasant sauna experience all year round.
Wood is ideal not only for the frame of the seating area, but also for the benches and backrests, where contact with the skin is greatest.
Wooden sauna benches are easy to maintain and provide long-lasting enjoyment.
It is important to remember that every part of the sauna requires at least minimal maintenance. Wooden sauna benches should be oiled and impregnated with a varnish, oil, or wax specially designed for saunas on all sides to improve resistance to moisture and natural wear.
To maintain proper sauna hygiene, you should also consider using special wood cleaners, such as Sauna Wood Cleaner, 450 ml (product code: DAZ007), which disinfect the surface, prevent odors and microbes from being absorbed, and give the sauna a very pleasant aroma.
