Why SAWO Sauna Timber?

SAWO timber is designed and engineered specifically for sauna use, offering superior durability, stability, and performance.

Exclusively brought into New Zealand by Sauna People, SAWO sauna claddings, including Nordic Spruce, Aspen, and Cedar, are crafted with advanced features to enhance the longevity and functionality of your sauna.

For a sauna that lasts, performs, and looks great, SAWO sauna timber is the ultimate choice.

Key Benefits of SAWO Sauna Timber

Engineered for Longevity

SAWO timber features long tongue & groove joints that prevent separation over time, ensuring a stable and durable sauna interior.

Moisture Drain Channels

Efficiently drains condensed vapor behind the cladding, making it suitable for both traditional and combi (Sauna & Steam) saunas.

Sustainable & Environmentally Friendly

Made from smaller trees harvested from second-growth forests and plantations, reducing waste and promoting eco-friendly manufacturing.

Enhanced Strength & Stability

Opposing grain lines reduce the tendency of wood to cup or warp, while high-quality laminations increase strength and flexibility, minimizing stress cracks.
