Health Benefits
Both saunas and steam rooms boast impressive health benefits, albeit through different mechanisms. Saunas, with their dry heat, are renowned for improving circulation, promoting detoxification through sweat, and inducing muscle relaxation.
On the other hand, steam rooms excel in respiratory benefits, providing relief for conditions like asthma and sinus congestion due to the moist, steam-filled air. Additionally, both environments offer stress reduction, improved skin health, and overall relaxation.

Why SAWO Sauna Timber?
SAWO timber is designed and engineered specifically for sauna use, offering superior durability, stability, and performance.
Exclusively brought into New Zealand by Sauna People, SAWO sauna claddings, including Nordic Spruce, Aspen, and Cedar, are crafted with advanced features to enhance the longevity and functionality of your sauna.
For a sauna that lasts, performs, and looks great, SAWO sauna timber is the ultimate choice.
Key Benefits of SAWO Sauna Timber
Engineered for Longevity
SAWO timber features long tongue & groove joints that prevent separation over time, ensuring a stable and durable sauna interior.
Moisture Drain Channels
Efficiently drains condensed vapor behind the cladding, making it suitable for both traditional and combi (Sauna & Steam) saunas.
Sustainable & Environmentally Friendly
Made from smaller trees harvested from second-growth forests and plantations, reducing waste and promoting eco-friendly manufacturing.
Enhanced Strength & Stability
Opposing grain lines reduce the tendency of wood to cup or warp, while high-quality laminations increase strength and flexibility, minimizing stress cracks.
