Hemlock VS. Cedar
Hemlock Saunas
Hemlock, a type of wood known for its straight grain and uniform texture, is a popular choice for sauna construction. The light color and natural elegance of hemlock wood can add a touch of sophistication to any sauna room. In addition to its aesthetic appeal, hemlock is also highly durable and resistant to warping, making it an excellent choice for sauna enthusiasts seeking longevity and low maintenance.
Cedar Saunas
Cedar is another popular wood choice for saunas, prized for its distinctive aroma and natural resistance to decay and insects. The rich, reddish-brown hue of cedar wood adds warmth and character to any sauna space, creating a welcoming and inviting atmosphere. Beyond its visual appeal, cedar is renowned for its aromatic properties, which can enhance the sensory experience of sauna bathing.
1. Heat Retention
Hemlock wood is known for its exceptional heat retention properties, ensuring that the sauna maintains a consistent and comfortable temperature. This makes hemlock saunas an excellent choice for those seeking a sauna experience with optimal heat distribution and retention. On the other hand, while cedar also offers good heat retention, it may not match the level of heat retention provided by hemlock. However, cedar's natural insulating properties make it an excellent choice for outdoor saunas or environments with fluctuating temperatures.
2. Aesthetic Appeal
Both hemlock and cedar saunas offer distinct visual appeal. Hemlock's light color and uniform texture exude a sense of natural elegance and sophistication, while cedar's rich, reddish-brown hue adds warmth and character to the sauna space. The choice between the two woods ultimately comes down to personal preference and the desired aesthetic for the sauna environment.
3. Aroma
Cedar's aromatic properties are one of its most distinctive features. The natural oils present in cedar wood release a pleasant, soothing aroma when heated, enhancing the overall sensory experience of sauna bathing. For individuals who value the aromatic aspect of sauna bathing, cedar may be the preferred choice. Hemlock, while lacking the strong aromatic qualities of cedar, offers a more neutral and understated scent, which may be preferable for those seeking a more subtle fragrance in the sauna.
4. Durability and Maintenance
Both hemlock and cedar are durable woods that can withstand the high temperatures and humidity levels present in saunas. Hemlock's minimal expansion and contraction make it a reliable and low-maintenance option, requiring less frequent upkeep. Cedar, with its natural resistance to decay and insects, also offers excellent durability. However, cedar may require more regular maintenance to preserve its natural properties, such as resealing or refinishing over time.

Imagine finishing a long, stressful day at work. Before starting your commute home, you reach for your phone, open an app, and activate your sauna. As you begin the drive home, you can almost feel your stress melting away already, because you know that by the time you get home, your sauna will be at your preferred temperature and you can start enjoying its benefits immediately.
Automating a sauna’s temperature is one of the most obvious choices when it comes to sauna automation options. Consider this scenario: it’s winter and outside it is bitterly cold. You want to have a sauna session, but you really don’t want to go outside twice just to enjoy a single session.
So, instead of putting down the good book you’re reading or pausing the game you’re playing with your daughter in order to bundle up and make the trek to your sauna turn it on, you get to stay in the comfort of your home and just use your tablet or phone to turn it on and begin pre-heating. This option is really convenient, and is especially useful if your sauna is placed somewhere that takes a bit of a walk to get to.
