Your Questions, Answered.
What timber should I use in a sauna?
Western Red Cedar is one of the most suitable species for sauna environments. It’s naturally stable, aromatic, and resistant to decay, making it ideal for high-heat, high-humidity conditions.
Is Western Red Cedar suitable for high-heat environments?
Yes, Western Red Cedar performs exceptionally well in high-heat settings like saunas. Its low thermal conductivity means it doesn’t overheat, while its natural resins resist warping, cracking, or cupping.
Do you supply the full sauna kit or just timber?
We specialise in supplying high-grade Western Red Cedar timber for sauna applications. While we don’t offer full kits, our profiles are designed to suit a wide range of architectural and custom-built sauna installations. Contact us directly for our list of sauna manufacturers and builders.
Are your timbers treated or untreated for sauna use?
Our Western Red Cedar is supplied untreated, as this is the preferred choice for sauna builds. It allows the timber to breathe naturally and avoids introducing chemicals or coatings into a high-heat environment.
Are your sauna-suitable timbers sustainably sourced?
Yes. Our Western Red Cedar is responsibly sourced from PEFC- or FSC-certified forests, ensuring sustainable forestry practices and a reduced environmental footprint.
Do you deliver nationally?
We offer delivery across Australia, with careful packaging to ensure your timber arrives in excellent condition. Please speak with our team for lead times and freight options specific to your location.
Can I get a sample before specifying?
Absolutely. We’re happy to supply samples to help with specification decisions. Simply get in touch and let us know your preferred profile.
