Sauna Wood Bench Boards

Which sauna wood bench boards are available on the Finnmark webshop?

When searching for timber for your sauna benches, you can often be left wondering “What wood types can you use for your sauna benches?”. The answer to this is very similar to cladding. You want to use hard-softwoods that are generally resilient, yet not too dense. The higher the density, the hotter it would feel when sitting on the benches. This is why low density timber types like Western Red Cedar are far more preferable than hardwoods like Oak, Ash and Beech. Sitting on these would feel as hot as steel in a sauna!
Finnmark offer the following comprehensive range of sauna benching timber options:

Thermo Spruce and Thermo Pine
Aspen
Alder

And sometimes:

The above list is roughly in descending order of cheapest sauna wood options to most expensive sauna timber types. To learn more about each of our sauna wood timber options, click on the wood type above. Use the filter bar on the left hand side to hone down your sauna bench board options below

What sauna wood bench profiles and what sizes of sauna bench boards do Finnmark sell?

SHP profile is the standard timber profile for sauna bench boards. This is generally a rectangular profile with radiused corners, usually R2 or R3 (2mm or 3mm radiuses on each corner). As standard, we warehouse:

SHP Profile Bench Boards
Unedged Planks

The thickness of the bench boards is important to prevent warping and twisting over time. Finnmark generally only work with 28mm thick as a standard for the most resilient sauna benching timber, in all but Western Red Cedar which is 26mm thick. We warehouse the following sauna bench board widths as standard:

The above are ideal for sauna bench skirts and bodyform bench systems.
