Tongue and Groove Lining:
- The wood used for the inside tongue and groove lining should be suitable for saunas (e.g., cedar or hemlock).
- Consider the thickness of the lining for insulation and stability.
- Our saunas are ALWAYS built with CLEAR RED WESTERN CEDAR. This is the highest rated wood choice for saunas in the world.
-
Tongue and Groove Boards:
- Are the tongue and groove boards supplied full-length or randomly jointed? Full-length boards are preferable for aesthetics and durability.
- Our saunas are built using 3/4" thick boards at full-lengths.

Sauna Benches:
- Benches made of 1x4 or 2x4 lumber provide different seating options. Choose based on comfort and preference.
