Choosing the ideal wood
Hemlock and Red Cedar
Technical differences and benefits for your sauna
Our infrared saunas are designed with a modular system that allows you to combine infrared techniques, wood types, sizes, and accessories to create a cabin that perfectly fits your personal desires.
Choosing the right type of wood for your sauna is essential for the durability and quality of the experience.
Both Hemlock and Red Cedar offer excellent benefits, depending on your preferences for price, aroma, and thermal characteristics.
White Cedar Wood (Hemlock)
Our cabins are manufactured by default with white cedar wood (Hemlock), a conifer native to the western coast of the United States and Canada.
This wood stands out for its uniform texture, subtle aroma, and an intense color that brings a clean, modern aesthetic to the sauna.
Its natural resins effectively protect it against insects and fungi, ensuring a long lifespan without the need for heavy chemical treatments.
Furthermore, this wood is extremely stable, resistant, and has the property of not splintering, making it perfect for safe use and direct skin contact.
Red Cedar Wood
There is an option to manufacture your sauna entirely from Red Cedar wood.
This type of wood is highly durable, does not compress or warp over time, and is extremely resistant to fungal attacks due to its characteristic natural oils.
Technically, Red Cedar is superior in thermal efficiency: it does not absorb heat excessively and possesses high infrared reflectance, optimizing the session by projecting heat back toward the user.
Its aroma is very pleasant, long-lasting, and therapeutic.
It should be noted that due to sustainable harvesting limitations and import duties, these cabins represent a higher investment.

Benefits and Customization
Every person has different reasons for using infrared saunas.
Some seek to alleviate conditions such as rheumatism, osteoarthritis, or persistent muscle pain, while others wish to boost their immune system by eliminating toxins through deep, controlled sweating.
To fully personalize your experience, we offer the possibility of adding accessories that make a difference: ergonomic benches for an ideal posture, chromotherapy systems with LED lights, or integrated sound systems that transform your session into a complete wellness ritual.
