Types of wood
Cedar wood sauna
This type of wood comes from Canada and the complexity of the craftmanship requires special technical skills and experience. It is used to make bespoke saunas because of its elegant beauty and natural aroma: it constantly releases an intense fragrance, exalted by the heat of the sauna. The strips of wood are applied manually, for a changing effect and unmatched quality. The sauna benches are also made of cedar strips, giving the Elite line maximum prestige.
Ash wood sauna
Thermo-wood is thermo-treated Ashwood, which gives it a dark effect characterized by accentuated veins. For this reason, Thermo-wood saunas are ideal to create chromatic contrasts, or in environments where dark wengè shades are preferred. These saunas look modern and bright, as the benches and the back wall can be made of Linden wood, in contrast with the side walls and the ceiling.
Linden wood sauna
In the Middle Ages, the linden tree was known as "lignum sacrum" (sacred wood), as religious constructions where mostly built using this wood. Trees grow across south-eastern Europe, they can reach a height of 30 meters and live long. The wood is yellow-white or pale pink-tending to white. It can be combined with dark woods to obtain strong color contrasts.
Hemlock wood sauna
Hemlock, a Canadian conifer, is a durable wood, characterized by its warm color and uniform texture, and is combined with contemporary details such as large and bright tempered glass walls and strip led lighting. For home saunas, the Topclass sauna line is designed to accommodate a modern and versatile Finnish cabin, in a recess or with elegant side walls.
Fir wood sauna
Traditional saunas that respect Nordic criteria and offer the authenticity of Finnish culture: the light brown color and the presence of visible knots make this wood stand out from the best selections of Swedish plantations. Responsible use and sustainable management of forest wood make sure we respect nature during every step of the production process. The Elegant line is defined by a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
