An infrared sauna is an excellent wellness tool that you want to last a lifetime and enjoy
for years to come. One of the most important factors to consider before purchasing your
infrared saunas for home use is wood type. There are many wood options available, and
you want to make sure you’re choosing the best one for your sauna.
Wood construction contributes to the quality and longevity of your investment. Below are
characteristics of the various wood types used to build many infrared saunas on the
market, including those from Sunlighten. This will help guide you toward the right wood
choice for you. Here are the wood types available from Sunlighten.
Basswood
If you have sensitivities to fragrances and other irritants, basswood is a preferred sauna
wood. Basswood is hypoallergenic and does not emit or contain any fragrances or
toxicants, meaning it is completely safe for those with allergies. It is a beautiful, fine-
grain, light-weight wood with consistent coloring and containing few knots. Known as a
durable hardwood, basswood is unlikely to warp or bend with temperature changes.
Sunlighten uses FSC-certified basswood sourced from the United States. This wood is
perfect for commercial use too.
Cedar
For both traditional and infrared saunas, aromatic cedar has long been a popular wood
choice because it’s naturally resistant to moisture. It won’t expand or contract as much as
other woods when the temperature fluctuates. This means cedar is less likely to warp and
bend with regular use, either at home or commercially. While Western Redwood Cedar is
one of the world’s most durable woods, it can vary in quality. Sunlighten’s cedar is of the
highest quality, sourced from Vancouver Island where the grain is dense with the deepest
red color of any Western Red Cedar. With a beautiful aesthetic, Sunlighten’s cedar is
PEFC-certified, durable, noise-reducing, and naturally moisture-resistant.
Eucalyptus
Historically, eucalyptus has been used for cabinetry and floor work. It’s extremely strong
and durable. Eucalyptus is a premium wood similar to teak. It grows quicker than teak,
making it a more affordable option. Eucalyptus is consistent in color, making it easy to
stain and hold beautiful color to match any room theme. This sustainable, green,
renewable wood is fragrance-free.
If you’re in the market for a portable infrared sauna from Sunlighten, products are crafted
with the same attention to quality and detail as the brand’s wooden saunas.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect personal sauna or want a premium wood sauna
from Sunlighten, infrared saunas are a welcome addition to your overall wellness goals
and in your home.
