Spruce sauna wood offers a classic, light and airy aesthetic, perfect for traditional sauna designs. With its pale, natural tones and subtle grain patterns, it creates a bright and inviting sauna environment. Sustainably sourced from Nordic and Baltic forests, Finnmark’s Grade AB spruce bench framing and cladding ensures top-tier quality, durability, and a refined finish for your sauna project.
A staple in Nordic and Scandinavian sauna construction, spruce is known for its natural beauty, durability, and affordability. Its pale colour with characteristic streaks enhances the feeling of space, making it an excellent choice for home saunas. The tight grain and low sap content of Finnmark’s Grade AB spruce ensure a cleaner, more uniform finish, minimising imperfections.
While spruce sauna cladding is durable, it does absorb heat more than alternatives like aspen or alder.
To enhance longevity and performance, we recommend treating the wood with sauna paraffin oil and maintaining a regular cleaning routine.
Spruce contains natural knots that may release resin under heat, so we do not recommend it for sauna benches. Instead, it is best used for sauna cladding, panelling, and bench framing.
We recommend a 15% wastage allowance for spruce sauna timber to account for cutting, machining, and installation loss.
