Wood is one of nature's most amazing materials. Trees can grow over 100 meters high, be thousands of years old and weigh hundreds of tons. Glass or plastics first have to be artificially produced from quartz sand or crude oil, while wood grows in a completely natural way and thus retains its fabulous properties.
In addition to the infrared heaters and functionality, the wood used and its manual and mechanical processing in the Infrared Sauna are probably the most important decision criteria for the purchase. Care should be taken to use particularly durable and dimensionally stable wood. Absolutely from sustainable forestry!
With the individual types of wood, there are in turn quality classes (regarding wood moisture, cracks, knotholes, etc.) which can result in significant differences.
Linden, cedar, fir and also spruce have been considered the most popular woods for Infrared Sauna construction for several years. Processed as solid wood in a multi-layer structure, they give the Infrared Sauna dimensional stability, pest resistance, excellent insulation and a high-quality appearance. Due to the unique cell structure of the wood, no synthetic insulation is necessary.
In our Infrared Saunas we only use crack- and knot-free solid wood of quality class A (heartwood). All woods are subject to controlled cultivation and reforestation.
The side walls of our Infrared Saunas have a multi-layer structure. Inside the walls there is a very stable solid wood frame made of spruce wood, which represents the basic framework of the Infrared Sauna.
The electrical lines and sensors run in this frame. Outside and inside, the walls consist of solid wood boards, which are carefully and doubly connected to the frame.
The individual walls are firmly connected to each other using the patented metal suspension system.
The woodwork is largely carried out with modern CNC milling machines and automatic saws. This ensures exact production and a consistently high quality standard.
Linden is not only extremely robust and durable, but also has special antibacterial properties. The light, warm wood invites you to relax. Linden is also very dimensionally stable and has very little cracking, which distinguishes the longevity of our Infrared Saunas.
The regional cultivation of linden wood avoids long transport routes and supports sustainable forestry.
For centuries, the extraordinary resistance of cedar wood to pests and temperature fluctuations has been known, which is due, among other things, to the essential oils contained in the wood. Its dimensional stability and moisture resistance make it the ideal wood for Infrared Sauna and sauna construction. Cedar wood is largely warp-free, shrink-free, resin-free, very resistant and has excellent hygroscopic values.
With cedar wood, a distinction can be made between white cedar (Thuya Occidentalis) and red cedar (Thuja Plicata). Their properties are very similar, but the red cedar is darker than the white cedar and has an intense, pine-like smell. The white cedar, on the other hand, is lighter, a little harder and almost odorless. The use of cedar is becoming more and more widespread worldwide.
