Wood is of spruce in Finland. It is grooved and has interlocking tabs long to avoid heaving during expansions. The origin of wood is critical to the resistance of the sauna. In Finland, the climate is harsh, wood grows more slowly. It is denser and therefore withstand sudden changes in temperature of the sauna. The 4 inner and outer sides of our saunas are paneling.
The walls have a total thickness of 80 mm. They consist of a spruce exterior paneling 15 mm thick thermal insulation with rock wool of 50 mm thick, an aluminum vapor barrier and a paneled interior spruce 15 mm thick. In the saunas of some of our competitors thickness of paneling is only 12.5 mm. They are therefore fragile and will crack quickly. The vapor barrier prevents moisture going into the insulation. No vapor barrier mold and odors quickly appear in the sauna.
The sauna door is safety glass of 8 mm. The thickness of the glass is important for the obvious question of stability and security. The smoked glass to create an intimacy in the sauna.
