SaunaLife Construction
SaunaLife barrel saunas are crafted from thermo-spruce, the most commonly used sauna wood in Finland. Thermo-spruce is exceptionally durable and can last up to twice as long as cedar when exposed to harsh outdoor conditions and the extreme temperature fluctuations typical of sauna use.
Inside, the sauna is designed for comfort and relaxation. The ergonomic benches and backrests are gently curved to promote better posture and provide a more comfortable seating experience. The seating surfaces are made from aspen, widely regarded as the ideal wood for sauna interiors. Aspen has low thermal conductivity, so it stays comfortable to sit on even at high temperatures, and its naturally smooth texture enhances overall comfort.
SaunaLife barrel saunas also feature a larger diameter than traditional barrel saunas. While standard barrels typically measure 72 inches in diameter, SaunaLife barrels expand this to 81 inches. The larger diameter creates a gentler seating curve, increases headroom for easier entry, and improves airflow throughout the sauna, resulting in a more spacious and enjoyable sauna experience.
