SAWO TIMBER – DESIGNED AND ENGINEERED FOR SAUNA

SAWO sauna timber is brought into New Zealand exclusively by SAUNA PEOPLE. 

Benefits of SAWO Aspen and Cedar Sauna Timber:

• Remove the tendency of wood to want to cup or warp along grain lines by providing opposing grain lines to resist that action.
• The glue used between the laminations increases strength.
• Added flexibility reduces stress-cracking.
• Reduced incidence of knots and imperfections on the timber face.
• Better for the environment: Because of their composition, SAWO sauna timber can be manufactured from a variety of smaller trees harvested from second-growth forests and plantations. Also creates less waste timber.

All SAWO sauna claddings (including Spruce) feature:

• Long Tongue & Grooves avoid separation within the life-cycle of the sauna.
• Moisture Drain Channels allow for efficient drainage of any condensed vapour behind the cladding. This makes our timber also suitable for combi saunas  (Sauna & Steam).
