About Our Heat-Treated Lumber

Made of Hemlock

Hemlock is an exceptional material for building saunas; highly regarded for being strong, durable, and moisture resistant. In hot environments, hemlock remains cooler to the touch and retains heat more effectively than cedar. All the hemlock used in our saunas is sourced from responsibly managed forests in Canada that adhere to strict environmental and social standards.

Heat-Treated for Exceptional Durability

Our hemlock undergoes a specialized thermal modification process to increase durability. This three-phase process begins with kiln-drying the wood, followed by heating it to temperatures above 400°F (204°C), finished by slowly cooling through a controlled steaming process. This procedure changes the wood on a cellular level, compressing its internal channels to create a denser structure. The result is a stronger material that is better protected against damage from environmental factors such as weather and insects. The natural moisture resistance of hemlock is also enhanced, minimizing swelling and warping over time.

Heat-treated hemlock lasts longer with minimal maintenance needs, so you can enjoy your sauna for many years to come.

All Natural, Built to Last

Our thermal modification process relies solely on heat and water—no chemicals involved. This technique increases the lifespan of your wood naturally, without the use of any additives.

Minimal Maintenance

Exterior Sauna Maintenance

Heat-treated hemlock is highly durable; no stain or sealer is required to maintain your sauna’s structural integrity. Left untreated, the wood will naturally weather to a rustic grey over time due to sun exposure, without losing its strength.

A water-based stain can be used to maintain or change your sauna’s exterior color. Note: stains should never be used inside the sauna.

Interior Sauna Maintenance

Our heat-treated hemlock is built to withstand the hot and humid sauna environment; no sealers are required on the interior walls. In high-traffic areas such as benches and floors, applying a protective treatment is recommended to guard against dirt, sweat, and body oils.

Recommended interior treatment options include:

• Sauna grade paraffin oil – only a light coating on the benches and floor is needed, preserving the deep natural color of the wood. We recommend sauna safe Harvia Paraffin Oil.
  Note: only use sauna-grade paraffin oil.
• Supi Sauna Wax – a nontoxic treatment safe for walls, floor, ceiling and benches; Supi Sauna Wax is available in three different finishes: clear, black, and white.

Sauna Heater Maintenance

Sauna heaters require little maintenance. Simply cleaning the heater and taking care of the rocks will keep your heater running in peak condition for years to come.

To maintain your heater, follow these easy steps:

• Periodically wipe the exterior of the heater with a soft cloth and use a mild cleanser to remove any water spots if needed—we recommend Harvias Heater Cleanser.
• Every 6 months, restack and inspect your heater stones. As you pull out the stones, look for cracks, chips and excessive wear. Remove and replace any damaged stones.
  Rinse the stones with warm water, lightly scrubbing any that might have slight calcium build up, letting them air dry before restacking in the heater.
• After 1 to 2 years, replace your heater stones. For heaters that use split-face stones, upgraded options are available, like vulcanite stones for better steam or the longer-lasting elite pro stones.

What to Expect

Redwood Outdoors saunas and cold plunge tubs are shipped using freight delivery to ensure safe, secure transport from our warehouse to your home. Below is everything you need to know about shipping and what to expect on your delivery day.

How Redwood Outdoors Products are Shipped

Our saunas and cold plunge tubs are shipped in durable wooden crates designed to protect the product during transit.

• With the shipment of a sauna, the heater, rocks and accessories will either arrive in a box strapped to the top of your crate or arrive separately.

We partner with multiple trusted freight carriers to ensure your order arrives safely and efficiently at your curbside.

• Once your shipment leaves our warehouse, you’ll receive an email with a tracking number and link to follow your delivery.

If you’ve ordered multiple large products—such as a sauna and a cold plunge—they may arrive in separate shipments.

Freight Delivery

Our shipments are delivered by a large freight truck, typically equipped with a liftgate. This allows the carrier to lower the crate to ground level upon arrival.

• If your delivery location has limited access for large trucks—such as steep, unpaved, gated, or restricted roads—please contact our customer service team before shipment so we can review access requirements and help you prepare.

Delivery Day

Your shipment is on the way, here’s how to prepare.

Once your order arrives at the carrier’s local depot, they will contact you to schedule a delivery appointment.

• Appointments are typically scheduled within 2–3 business days of arrival at the depot.
• Please ensure that someone is available to receive and sign for the delivery when it arrives at your home.
  • If your heater is shipped separately, a signature will be required for that shipment as well.

All freight shipments are curbside delivery, meaning the crate is placed at the end of your driveway or nearest accessible location.

• For liability reasons, freight carriers are unable to move shipments beyond the curb or into backyards, garages, or other areas of the property. If you need help relocating your crate after delivery, we recommend arranging assistance in advance.

Before You Begin Your Sauna Installation

Review Instructions and Gather Supplies

Before starting your sauna build, carefully read through your assembly manual and gather all necessary supplies.

Recommended Tools

Sauna assembly requires common household tools, including:

• Power drill with T20 (“torx”) bit

Check Local Building Requirements

Depending on your location, a building permit or HOA approval may be required. Always check local regulations before starting installation.

Hire an Electrician

A trusted licensed electrician must be hired to install your sauna heater. Sauna heaters do not plug into standard outlets and must be hardwired to your electrical panel.
