Custom Sauna Wood Choices

Helo offers two wood choices: Clear Western Red Cedar and Clear Canadian Hemlock

Western Red Cedar Wood

Western Red Cedar is the wood many people in North America associate with saunas, as it is very popular in commercial facilities. The varied colors, pleasant aroma, and durability in moisture and heat make it an outstanding choice for a commercial facilities.

For homeowners, Western Red Cedar is a popular choice because of the beautiful colors ranging from light blondes to dark chocolate boards and reds in between.

Canadian Hemlock

Canadian Hemlock is considered a hypoallergenic wood and has a tight, consistent wood grain and very little color variation within the blonde tones.

Hemlock is a popular choice for people with allergies or using sauna as part of a detoxification program, wellness centers, and for people wanting a consistent color and grain throughout the sauna.

Interior Upgrades

What most people in North America are used to seeing in commercial facilities are simple and efficient sauna designs: two tiers of benching, no decorative trim or accents, a jelly-jar wall sconce on a wall, and a heater in the corner. We have supplied many of these, and they function very well, but a sauna can also be an accent piece or an architectural statement in a home or project. It can be a showcase of the commitment to health and wellness that starts with deeper relaxation. Making a room aesthetically pleasing while incredibly functional will help you or your clients achieve that relaxation.
