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.

I am really happy with y purchase. Redwood outdoors provided incredible support.. I peppered poor Karsten with tons of questions, and he was helpful and very patient. The support team answered a bunch of questions as well, and were top notch,
The kit requires a bit of work... I had a two separate handymen quote me $2500 to put it together, but found someone on taskrabbit. His time was worth every penny, he did a great job and the cost for him was just under $1000. We needed a good electrician to run a line from our panel. That wasn't cheap ($1500, but worth it for a clean install). The kit needs two people to assemble, and some finesse, the roof was the hardest part, and they could upgrade the quality of the material... Overall, the end result is amazing, and a goof water-based stain with no VOC (chemical smell), made the outside look great. The Fenix wireless control has a great app and I can control everything from the house.. So excited to have this online, we have used it every night so far.
Thanks fo the team at Redwood outdoors for the excellent support

The sauna itself functions as I hoped however my disappointment started when the unit was delivered and there was a big fat “MADE IN CHINA” sticker plastered on the side. Of course it was made it China, what isn’t anymore. The unit was palletized well but when it was packaged wood chips got in between boards that were laid together and you can see the indentations in wood where it caused some damage. The front and rear trim pieces came without all of the pre-drilled holes already done so that’s something I had to do on my own. The unit itself went together alright however the overall mill quality of the wood is a little less than I hoped for with a price tag of $8000. The roof on the other hand was a pain in the butt. They sent the cheapest winter guard rolled roofing as the main means of keeping water out. It’s a very cheap quality and none of the plastic backing peeled off. I spent over half a day just getting the roofing situated. I was super frustrated and unhappy with how that process went. I’m a contractor and decided to go this route because I simply don’t have time to build my own unit. I had hoped this would be a faster alternative and while I do like this sauna if I had to make the purchase again I would purchase from someone manufacturing within the U.S. with better quality control standards.

The sauna itself is fantastic but hard to give it a perfect rating considering it is apparently meant for 6 people. There is no way 6 adults could fit in this thing in any sort of enjoyable experience. This should really be sold as a 2 or max 3 person sauna. Quality of wood, so far, seems quite nice. Don't love the fact that the bottom curves..preventing the heater from tucking into the corner nicely. But again overall a really solid quality sauna.

Before choosing Redwood Saunas I did so much researching until finally I pulled the trigger on the Summit outdoor sauna with the upgrade to WiFi Spirit heater and man was that the right choice! The handyman who I hired did a really good job building it and hooking up the electrical and during the whole time support was awesome. Every question I had (I’m a Sauna noob) Brad and Nick answered with patience and passion. I’m so glad I went with Redwood Outdoors and am using it every day so far. And yes WiFi makes it so much easier to start the heater, so if you are on the fence just do it!
