ADVANTAGES TO A SAUNA MATERIAL KIT

The Sauna Material Kit provides all the special components necessary to properly and easily build your sauna. The sauna kit provides specific cedar lengths. Builder supply warehouses and lumber yards generally carry only 8' or random lengths which creates a lot of waste. The sauna kit also includes such items as cedar moulding and door casing which are not readily available.

SAUNA KIT VERSATILITY

It is easy to customize a sauna material kit. If the sauna is part of a larger renovation; such as a finished basement, or addition, it is easy to incorporate the sauna kit into whatever space is available. The sauna can be installed to suit particular settings; for example, exterior can be drywall and painted to match the outside decor of a bathroom.

NOTHING COULD BE EASIER

With the Saunafin Material Kit, building a sauna is one of the simpler do-it-yourself projects. Our rule of thumb is: If you can erect the stud framing, you will have no problem installing the sauna kit. It is designed specifically for the do-it-yourselfer and renovator. The bench framing, heater guard and mouldings are pre-cut. We even include the galvanized nails. If you have not built a sauna before, you will find the instruction booklet and drawings easy to follow.

DO I HAVE TO USE CEDAR FOR MY SAUNA?

While other materials are occasionally used, cedar is by far the most popular, most attractive and most practical. Cedar has a mild, pleasant fragrance that many people associate with saunas. Cedar's particular properties allow it to expand and contract. This is important in a sauna where the wood is exposed to extremely high, dry temperatures, interspersed with blasts of humidity when water is splashed on the heater or the walls.

QUALITY

Our Clear cedar material kits use only kiln-dried, clear, grade 'A' and better, tongue & groove cedar. The knotty kits use only "STK" (Select Tight Knot) cedar. The cedar is thick enough to ensure maximum strength & durability and finished on two sides to provide for the best overall finish. All saunas have only 2 x 4 Clear cedar for benches and bench framing (unlike most others who use 1 x 4).

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO BUILD THE SAUNA?

The installation time will of course vary somewhat with the size of the sauna. On average, the sauna kits are installed in 14 - 20 hours. With the specified lengths, pre-cut moldings and pre-hung door, you will save at least 4 - 8 hours on your installation time.
