Hemlock Timber

Whether you are using a sauna at home, in a commercial facility, or are one of the many people who have realised the benefits of far infrared sauna therapy in dealing with allergies, chemical or metal toxicity and other such health problems; you will inevitably prefer Hemlock timber for the construction material of your sauna.

There are many unique and natural properties that make Hemlock saunas superior to those made of pine or other basic timbers. Hemlock has natural strength and durability with a life-expectancy of between 300-1000 years, when most woods average 200 years. The fact that it is also naturally resistant to decay means that it is one of the most suitable timbers for use in sauna construction. Bridge timbers, house window sills, flooring, paneling, trim, and an assortment of other architectural elements are often made from Hemlock due to this strong, safe, durable nature.

The wood is never too hot to touch even in the highest temperatures of your sauna. The density of the timber and even-grained texture means that your sauna has a furniture-style finish which makes it a piece of craftsmanship that will take pride of place in any room.
