Red cedar wood is one of the most prized materials used in sauna construction, valued for its rich aroma, natural durability, and resistance to moisture and decay. This softwood, commonly sourced from Western Red Cedar (Thuja plicata), offers both aesthetic beauty and practical performance in high-heat, humid environments. Its distinct color range—from pale pink to deep reddish-brown—adds warmth and elegance to any sauna design.
Red cedar has unique properties that make it particularly well-suited for sauna interiors and accessories. It’s lightweight yet strong, and its naturally occurring oils help repel insects, mold, and rot—making it low-maintenance and long-lasting.
One of red cedar’s most appealing features is its pleasant, woody scent. The aroma enhances the relaxation experience, adding a natural element of aromatherapy to each sauna session.
Red cedar's cellular structure provides excellent insulation, keeping the sauna heat stable while preventing the outer walls from becoming excessively hot.
Unlike metal or ceramic materials, cedar doesn’t get too hot to touch. This makes it a safe and comfortable choice for benches, walls, and ceilings inside the sauna.
The wood’s natural oils protect against moisture-related damage, mold, and fungal growth—crucial in high-humidity environments like saunas and steam rooms.
Red cedar wood combines natural elegance, resilience, and sensory appeal, making it a top-tier choice for sauna construction and design. Its aromatic scent, resistance to heat and moisture, and timeless look elevate any wellness space. Whether you're building a new sauna or upgrading an existing one, red cedar adds lasting value and a uniquely comforting atmosphere.
