Why no cedar
in your sauna?

Your «Sauna Spirit» comments

  • Cedar creates mold in the sauna humidity.

  • Cedar becomes darker and looks dirty in a short period of time.

  • It is impossible to keep a clean outlook in cedar saunas.

  • People have breathing problems in cedar saunas.

  • Cedar creates a strange and unpleasant odor in the sauna.

  • Cedar creates a strange and unpleasant urine odor in the sauna.

  • When demolishing cedar sauna interiors, carpenters must use antiseptic mask against fungus and dust.



These photos are from saunas which needed to be rebuilt among many others because of heavy 
fungus build-up.

Saunas made of cedar wood are plagued with reoccurring mold.

It is useless to try sand-out  
blackened Cedar surface and try to eliminate the unpleasant odor 
humidity has created 
in cedar saunas.

We use Northern Pine, Spruce and Alder to build sauna interiors in order to create fresh and invigorating air, where it is easy to breath.

Combined with soft Abachi bench material, Finnish Northern Pine, 
Spruce and Alder provide 
great sauna interior look.

The latest Harvia innovation for commercial (large) saunas step-in benches:

Heat darkened Aspen 
with Harvia treatment, 
easy to clean, 
always looking neat.

I use my sauna every day.

The clients visiting my premises are amazed:
"How many weeks ago did you install your sauna ?"
"Cannot be that old !"

Now you know what my friend 
"Sauna Spirit"
and 
  I talk about when we warn you:

No Cedar
in sauna interiors !
