Thermo-Radiata Pine Sauna Wood Cladding, Pinus Radiata

Is thermo radiata a good sauna wood choice?

Customers often ask us, what type of sauna wood should I choose for a darker aesthetic in my home sauna? Thermally modified radiata pine, Pinus Radiata in Latin, makes an excellent choice for a modern sauna. This popular softwood is known for its quality and fast growth. The thermal modification process creates a durable sauna wood, which makes a great choice for sauna wood cladding and benches. Thermo radiata is lightweight and does not show knots or splinter. It is stylish and comfortable to sit on without overheating or weeping resin.

Finnmark’s thermo radiata pine products are grade A and sourced from the Baltic and Nordic countries.
The uniqueness of thermally modified radiata pine is in that every board of wood has its own natural grain, which gives it an exclusive look. The appeal of this sauna timber lies in its aesthetic appeal and dimensional stability, which are both improved through the thermal modification process. Thermo radiata is also suitable for outdoor use for its durability and makes an excellent choice for outdoor garden saunas.

The attractive, dark golden-brown colour that is intensified through the thermal modification makes it a stylish choice as building material for either a commercial or a home sauna, where a luxurious, meditative aesthetic is desired. The unique pattern and colour of thermo radiata is intensified through the use of sauna paraffin oil, which will also add an extra layer of protection on the surface of the sauna wood cladding and benches.

The recommended wastage allowance for thermally modified radiata pine is 20%.
