What are the characteristics of cedar wood?
Cedar is considered the best wood to build a sauna because of its beauty and durability. Especially, the Canadian Western Red Cedar is considered the world’s best cedar wood because of its uniform and fine-grained texture combined with a palette of warm, mellow tones. It produces natural oil and extractives that act as preservatives to protect the wood from insect attacks and decay-causing fungi. Beauty aside, its cellular structure creates interior air spaces that give it an insulation value higher than most woods.
