Hard-softwoods that are generally resilient, yet not too dense are an excellent choice for an authentic sauna. 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

Finnmark's Sauna Wood Bench Profiles & Sizes 

 

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:

28mm wide bench boards

42mm wide bench boards

65mm wide bench boards

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

90mm wide bench boards

120mm wide bench boards

140mm wide bench boards

What is sauna bench framing, and why is it essential?

Sauna bench framing is the structural foundation for your benches, providing the strength and rigidity needed to support seating and attach inner cladding.

What materials are used for bench framing timber?

Our bench framing timber includes FSC-certified spruce and naturally thermo-treated spruce, selected for their durability, moisture resistance, and suitability for sauna conditions.

Can I use bench boards and framing timber for DIY installations?

Yes, both our bench boards and framing timber are user-friendly for DIY projects while maintaining professional-grade quality for reliable results.

How does thermally treated timber enhance performance?

Thermally treated timber undergoes a natural heat and steam process to improve the wood's resistance to warping, moisture damage, and dimensional instability, making it ideal for sauna environments.

Are custom benching solutions available?

Yes, our Bench Fabrication Service provides bespoke benching and framing tailored to fit your sauna’s specific dimensions and design preferences.
