Many factors play a role in choosing the right material for the construction of indoor and outdoor saunas. One of the most popular materials is cedar, and for good reason. In this article, we will examine the unique properties of cedar wood compared to other types of wood and explain why it is preferred for saunas.
Natural resistance to rot and insects
Cedar wood is naturally resistant to rot and insect infestation. This natural property makes it particularly suitable for use in humid environments such as saunas, where wood can rot quickly. Compared to other woods, cedar requires less maintenance and offers a longer lifespan, making it a cost-effective and sustainable choice.
Pleasant aroma and essential oils
Another advantage of cedar wood for saunas is its pleasant, calming aroma. Cedar wood contains natural essential oils that not only give off a characteristic scent, but can also help to reduce stress and promote relaxation. This creates an even more pleasant sauna experience for users.
Natural insulating properties
Cedar wood has natural insulating properties that help to retain heat in the sauna and save energy. Compared to other woods, cedar has a lower thermal conductivity, which means it gives off less heat and heats the sauna more efficiently. This makes cedar wood an environmentally friendly choice for saunas.
Beauty and durability
In addition to its functional properties, cedar wood is also known for its natural beauty and durability. The distinctive grain and warm color tones of cedar wood give saunas a rustic and appealing look. In addition, cedar wood is extremely durable and resistant to the harsh environment of a sauna due to its strength and resistance to warping and cracking.
