Do you offer other types and profiles of wood for the interior?

We build our saunas with ¾” shiplap Aspen. Aspen is beautiful light coloured wood with many great properties making it an amazing wood for saunas. 

The wood is locally sourced in Ontario. 

We have clear (no knots) Aspen Shiplap, 1x4 and 1x6 Tongue and Groove. See pricing for these options.

We can customize the interior using Western Red Cedar, Eastern White Cedar, Clear Pine, Basswood... although additional costs will apply. Feel free to contact us for more information, and we can also explore other wood options and profiles, such as typical tongue and groove.

Most people who are new to saunas think that cedar is what saunas are 'supposed' to be made from. The reality is that saunas in Finland don't use cedar. Cedar is not native to Finland. So cedar is a sauna is only native to North America. It is a great wood, but it does have some negatives against it, and so that is why we prefer the gorgeous clear Aspen!

Our workshop is at: 160 Finchdene Square, Unit 11, Scarborough, M1X 1B2.

We don’t have room in our shop to keep a permanent demo unit there but we usually have 2-3 sauna builds going on at the same time so there is a good chance we have a fully built unit for you to come and check out.

We also have a 4 person sauna that was built for testing / using / and showing customers at 3 Hamilton Hall Drive, Markham.

If you want to see a demo, just send us a message and we can let you know if we have one of our latest builds available in our shop or if you should come to Markham.
