Why aspen for a sauna?
ProSaunas selects straight-grained aspen with a uniform texture and a light, creamy color. According to ProSaunas, aspen has very good dimensional stability, does not split when nailed, and does not secrete resin, splinter or overheat; its low heat conductivity keeps it comfortable to the touch in a hot sauna.

Nominal 1x2 vs. actual size

Matching paneling, bench wood and trim
Most saunas are built in one wood. Aspen Sauna Wood collects every Aspen paneling profile, bench size and trim piece, so the paneling and bench wood can be matched to this trim. Sauna Trim lists every trim profile in all species.
Cleaning and care
ProSaunas recommends wiping benches, walls and floors with a mild detergent solution to remove sweat, oils and dirt, and ventilating the sauna after each use so moisture does not build up and lead to mold or mildew.
